Introduction

LMDeploy is a toolkit for compressing, deploying, and serving LLM, developed by the MMRazor and MMDeploy teams. It has the following core features:

• Efficient Inference Engine (TurboMind): Based on FasterTransformer, we have implemented an efficient inference engine - TurboMind, which supports the inference of LLaMA and its variant models on NVIDIA GPUs.

• Interactive Inference Mode: By caching the k/v of attention during multi-round dialogue processes, it remembers dialogue history, thus avoiding repetitive processing of historical sessions.

• Multi-GPU Model Deployment and Quantization: We provide comprehensive model deployment and quantification support, and have been validated at different scales.

• Persistent Batch Inference: Further optimization of model execution efficiency.

Supported Models

LMDeploy has two inference backends, Pytorch and TurboMind.

TurboMind

Note
W4A16 inference requires Nvidia GPU with Ampere architecture or above.

Models	Tensor Parallel	FP16	KV INT8	W4A16	W8A8
Llama	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
Llama2	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
InternLM-7B	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No

Pytorch

Models	Tensor Parallel	FP16	KV INT8	W4A16	W8A8
Llama	Yes	Yes	No	No	No
Llama2	Yes	Yes	No	No	No
InternLM-7B	Yes	Yes	No	No	No

Performance

Case I: output token throughput with fixed input token and output token number (1, 2048)

Case II: request throughput with real conversation data

Test Setting: LLaMA-7B, NVIDIA A100(80G)

The output token throughput of TurboMind exceeds 2000 tokens/s, which is about 5% - 15% higher than DeepSpeed overall and outperforms huggingface transformers by up to 2.3x. And the request throughput of TurboMind is 30% higher than vLLM.

Quick Start

Installation

Install lmdeploy with pip ( python 3.8+) or from source

pip install lmdeploy

Deploy InternLM

Get InternLM model

# 1. Download InternLM model

# Make sure you have git-lfs installed (https://git-lfs.com)
git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/internlm/internlm-chat-7b-v1_1 /path/to/internlm-chat-7b

# if you want to clone without large files – just their pointers
# prepend your git clone with the following env var:
GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1

# 2. Convert InternLM model to turbomind's format, which will be in "./workspace" by default
python3 -m lmdeploy.serve.turbomind.deploy internlm-chat-7b /path/to/internlm-chat-7b

Inference by TurboMind

python -m lmdeploy.turbomind.chat ./workspace

Note
When inferring with FP16 precision, the InternLM-7B model requires at least 15.7G of GPU memory overhead on TurboMind.
It is recommended to use NVIDIA cards such as 3090, V100, A100, etc. Disable GPU ECC can free up 10% memory, try sudo nvidia-smi --ecc-config=0 and reboot system.

Note
Tensor parallel is available to perform inference on multiple GPUs. Add --tp=<num_gpu> on chat to enable runtime TP.

Serving with gradio

python3 -m lmdeploy.serve.gradio.app ./workspace

Serving with Restful API

Launch inference server by:

python3 -m lmdeploy.serve.openai.api_server ./workspace server_ip server_port --instance_num 32 --tp 1

Then, you can communicate with it by command line,

# restful_api_url is what printed in api_server.py, e.g. http://localhost:23333
python -m lmdeploy.serve.openai.api_client restful_api_url

or webui,

# restful_api_url is what printed in api_server.py, e.g. http://localhost:23333
# server_ip and server_port here are for gradio ui
# example: python -m lmdeploy.serve.gradio.app http://localhost:23333 localhost 6006 --restful_api True
python -m lmdeploy.serve.gradio.app restful_api_url server_ip --restful_api True

Refer to restful_api.md for more details.

Serving with Triton Inference Server

Launch inference server by:

bash workspace/service_docker_up.sh

Then, you can communicate with the inference server by command line,

python3 -m lmdeploy.serve.client {server_ip_addresss}:33337

or webui,

python3 -m lmdeploy.serve.gradio.app {server_ip_addresss}:33337

For the deployment of other supported models, such as LLaMA, LLaMA-2, vicuna and so on, you can find the guide from here

Inference with PyTorch

For detailed instructions on Inference pytorch models, see here.

Single GPU

python3 -m lmdeploy.pytorch.chat $NAME_OR_PATH_TO_HF_MODEL \
    --max_new_tokens 64 \
    --temperture 0.8 \
    --top_p 0.95 \
    --seed 0

Tensor Parallel with DeepSpeed

deepspeed --module --num_gpus 2 lmdeploy.pytorch.chat \
    $NAME_OR_PATH_TO_HF_MODEL \
    --max_new_tokens 64 \
    --temperture 0.8 \
    --top_p 0.95 \
    --seed 0

You need to install deepspeed first to use this feature.

pip install deepspeed

Quantization

Weight INT4 Quantization

LMDeploy uses AWQ algorithm for model weight quantization

Click here to view the test results for weight int4 usage.

KV Cache INT8 Quantization

Click here to view the usage method, implementation formula, and test results for kv int8.

Warning
runtime Tensor Parallel for quantized model is not available. Please setup --tp on deploy to enable static TP.
