nothingburger 0.0.1

Minimalistic man-made burgers of data and words for interfacing with LLMs and beyond

Nothingburger

Nothing but semantic burgers made by humans to feed machines

The goal for nothingburger is to create a minimalistic platform in which humans can cook up quick little snacks stacks of language and data that humans can understand and machines can digest. In other words, it is meant as a convenient solution to the otherwise slightly inconvenient/time-consuming process of cooking up simple recipes for interfacing with Large Language Models and the like.

Installation

pip install nothingburger

cp -R $NOTHINGBURGER_SRC/.model_library ./ # this will change later

Usage

Simple text generation

from nothingburger.model_loader import initializeModel

model = initializeModel(args.model_library + '/' + args.model_file)
print(model.generate("How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"))

Example Chain (Interactive Chat)

import nothingburger.templates as templates
import nothingburger.instructions as instructions

from nothingburger.cli import repl
from nothingburger.chains import Chain
from nothingburger.parsers import OutputParser
from nothingburger.model_loader import initializeModel

prompt      = instructions.getRenderedInstruction("chat")
template    = templates.getTemplate("alpaca_instruct_chat")

model_library   = "./.model_library"
model_file      = "ollama/vicuna.toml"

model = initializeModel(model_library + '/' + model_file)

chain = Chain(
    instruction         = prompt,
    template            = template,
    output_parser       = OutputParser(),
    model               = model,
    debug               = False,
    assistant_prefix    = "Assistant: ",
    user_prefix         = "User: ",
)

repl(chain)

The syntax will likely feel like a much more minimalistic version of LangChain. Part of the mission is to incorporate an alternate interpretation of LangChain's syntax without all the fluff.

Modelfiles

One key feature of nothingburger is that it enables you to load or connect to LLMs easily through various APIs or libraries by simply writing a TOML file. For example, here's the entire contents of the file used to load Mistral 7B through Ollama:

name = "Mistral 7B"
author = "MistralAI"
license = "Apache 2.0"
website = "mistral.ai"

[service]
provider = "ollama"
base_url = "http://localhost:11434"
model_key = "mistral:7b"

[generation]
temperature = 0.7
top_k = 20
top_p = 0.9
max_tokens = 512
seed = 42
batch = 1
repeat_penalty = 1.15
presence_penalty = 0.0
frequency_penalty = 0.0
threads = 0

[generation.mirostat]
mode = 0
eta = 0.1
tau = 5.0

The generation values serve as defaults that can you can override at runtime.
