OnPrem.LLM

A tool for running large language models on-premises using non-public data

OnPrem.LLM is a simple Python package that makes it easier to run large language models (LLMs) on your own machines using non-public data (possibly behind corporate firewalls). Inspired largely by the privateGPT GitHub repo, OnPrem.LLM is intended to help integrate local LLMs into practical applications.

The full documentation is here.

A Google Colab demo of installing and using OnPrem.LLM is here.

Install

Once you have installed PyTorch, you can install OnPrem.LLM with the following steps:

1. Install llama-cpp-python by visiting this site and following instructions for your operating system and machine. For CPU-based installations (i.e., no GPU acceleration), you can simply do: pip install llama-cpp-python.

2. Install OnPrem.LLM: pip install onprem

For fast GPU-accelerated inference, see additional instructions below. See the FAQ, if you experience issues with llama-cpp-python installation.

Note: Installing llama-cpp-python is optional if either the following is true:

• You supply the model_id parameter when instantiating an LLM, as shown here.
• You are using OnPrem.LLM with an LLM being served through an external REST API (e.g., vLLM, OpenLLM, Ollama).

How to Use

Setup

from onprem import LLM

llm = LLM()

By default, a 7B-parameter model (Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2) is downloaded and used. If default_model='llama' is supplied, then a Llama-3.1-8B-Instsruct model is automatically downloaded and used (which is useful if the default Mistral model struggles with a particular task):

# Llama 3.1 is downloaded here and the correct prompt template for Llama-3.1 is automatically configured and used
llm = LLM(default_model='llama')

Similarly, suppyling default_model='zephyr, will use Zephyr-7B-beta. Of course, you can also easily supply the URL to an LLM of your choosing to LLM (see the code generation section below for an example or the FAQ). Any extra parameters supplied to LLM are forwarded directly to llama-cpp-python.

Send Prompts to the LLM to Solve Problems

This is an example of few-shot prompting, where we provide an example of what we want the LLM to do.

prompt = """Extract the names of people in the supplied sentences. Here is an example:
Sentence: James Gandolfini and Paul Newman were great actors.
People:
James Gandolfini, Paul Newman
Sentence:
I like Cillian Murphy's acting. Florence Pugh is great, too.
People:"""

saved_output = llm.prompt(prompt)

 Cillian Murphy, Florence Pugh.

Additional prompt examples are shown here.

Talk to Your Documents

Answers are generated from the content of your documents (i.e., retrieval augmented generation or RAG). Here, we will use GPU offloading to speed up answer generation using the default model. However, the Zephyr-7B model may perform even better, responds faster, and is used in our example notebook.

from onprem import LLM

llm = LLM(n_gpu_layers=-1)

Step 2: Answer Questions About the Documents

question = """What is  ktrain?"""
result = llm.ask(question)

 Ktrain is a low-code machine learning library designed to facilitate the full machine learning workflow from curating and preprocessing inputs to training, tuning, troubleshooting, and applying models. Ktrain is well-suited for domain experts who may have less experience with machine learning and software coding.

The sources used by the model to generate the answer are stored in result['source_documents']:

print("\nSources:\n")
for i, document in enumerate(result["source_documents"]):
    print(f"\n{i+1}.> " + document.metadata["source"] + ":")
    print(document.page_content)

Summarization Pipeline

Summarize your raw documents (e.g., PDFs, MS Word) with an LLM.

Map-Reduce Summarization

Summarize each chunk in a document and then generate a single summary from the individual summaries.

from onprem import LLM
llm = LLM(n_gpu_layers=-1, verbose=False, mute_stream=True) # disabling viewing of intermediate summarization prompts/inferences

from onprem.pipelines import Summarizer
summ = Summarizer(llm)

resp = summ.summarize('sample_data/1/ktrain_paper.pdf', max_chunks_to_use=5) # omit max_chunks_to_use parameter to consider entire document
print(resp['output_text'])

 Ktrain is an open-source machine learning library that offers a unified interface for various machine learning tasks. The library supports both supervised and non-supervised machine learning, and includes methods for training models, evaluating models, making predictions on new data, and providing explanations for model decisions. Additionally, the library integrates with various explainable AI libraries such as shap, eli5 with lime, and others to provide more interpretable models.

Concept-Focused Summarization

Summarize a large document with respect to a particular concept of interest.

from onprem import LLM
from onprem.pipelines import Summarizer

llm = LLM(default_model='zephyr', n_gpu_layers=-1, verbose=False, temperature=0)
summ = Summarizer(llm)
summary, sources = summ.summarize_by_concept('sample_data/1/ktrain_paper.pdf', concept_description="question answering")

The context provided describes the implementation of an open-domain question-answering system using ktrain, a low-code library for augmented machine learning. The system follows three main steps: indexing documents into a search engine, locating documents containing words in the question, and extracting candidate answers from those documents using a BERT model pretrained on the SQuAD dataset. Confidence scores are used to sort and prune candidate answers before returning results. The entire workflow can be implemented with only three lines of code using ktrain's SimpleQA module. This system allows for the submission of natural language questions and receives exact answers, as demonstrated in the provided example. Overall, the context highlights the ease and accessibility of building sophisticated machine learning models, including open-domain question-answering systems, through ktrain's low-code interface.

Information Extraction Pipeline

Extract information from raw documents (e.g., PDFs, MS Word documents) with an LLM.

from onprem import LLM
from onprem.pipelines import Extractor
# Notice that we're using a cloud-based, off-premises model here! See "OpenAI" section below.
llm = LLM(model_url='openai://gpt-3.5-turbo', verbose=False, mute_stream=True, temperature=0) 
extractor = Extractor(llm)
prompt = """Extract the names of research institutions (e.g., universities, research labs, corporations, etc.) 
from the following sentence delimited by three backticks. If there are no organizations, return NA.  
If there are multiple organizations, separate them with commas.
```{text}```
"""
df = extractor.apply(prompt, fpath='sample_data/1/ktrain_paper.pdf', pdf_pages=[1], stop=['\n'])
df.loc[df['Extractions'] != 'NA'].Extractions[0]

/home/amaiya/projects/ghub/onprem/onprem/core.py:159: UserWarning: The model you supplied is gpt-3.5-turbo, an external service (i.e., not on-premises). Use with caution, as your data and prompts will be sent externally.

Few-Shot Classification

Make accurate text classification predictions using only a tiny number of labeled examples.

# create classifier
from onprem.pipelines import FewShotClassifier
clf = FewShotClassifier(use_smaller=True)

# Fetching data
from sklearn.datasets import fetch_20newsgroups
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
classes = ["soc.religion.christian", "sci.space"]
newsgroups = fetch_20newsgroups(subset="all", categories=classes)
corpus, group_labels = np.array(newsgroups.data), np.array(newsgroups.target_names)[newsgroups.target]

# Wrangling data into a dataframe and selecting training examples
data = pd.DataFrame({"text": corpus, "label": group_labels})
train_df = data.groupby("label").sample(5)
test_df = data.drop(index=train_df.index)

# X_sample only contains 5 examples of each class!
X_sample, y_sample = train_df['text'].values, train_df['label'].values

# test set
X_test, y_test = test_df['text'].values, test_df['label'].values

# train
clf.train(X_sample,  y_sample, max_steps=20)

# evaluate
print(clf.evaluate(X_test, y_test)['accuracy'])
#output: 0.98

# make predictions
clf.predict(['Elon Musk likes launching satellites.']).tolist()[0]
#output: sci.space

Text to Code Generation

We’ll use the CodeUp LLM by supplying the URL and employing the particular prompt format this model expects.

from onprem import LLM

url = "https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/CodeUp-Llama-2-13B-Chat-HF-GGUF/resolve/main/codeup-llama-2-13b-chat-hf.Q4_K_M.gguf"
llm = LLM(url, n_gpu_layers=-1)  # see below for GPU information

Setup the prompt based on what this model expects (this is important):

template = """
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

### Instruction:
{prompt}

### Response:"""

You can supply the prompte_template to either the LLM constructor (above) or the LLM.prompt method. We will do the latter here:

answer = llm.prompt(
    "Write Python code to validate an email address.", prompt_template=template
)

Here is an example of Python code that can be used to validate an email address:
```
import re

def validate_email(email):
    # Use a regular expression to check if the email address is in the correct format
    pattern = r'^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$'
    if re.match(pattern, email):
        return True
    else:
        return False

# Test the validate_email function with different inputs
print("Email address is valid:", validate_email("[e-mail]"))  # Should print "True"
print("Email address is invalid:", validate_email("example@"))  # Should print "False"
print("Email address is invalid:", validate_email("example.com"))  # Should print "False"
```
The code defines a function `validate_email` that takes an email address as input and uses a regular expression to check if the email address is in the correct format. The regular expression checks for an email address that consists of one or more letters, numbers, periods, hyphens, or underscores followed by the `@` symbol, followed by one or more letters, periods, hyphens, or underscores followed by a `.` and two to three letters.
The function returns `True` if the email address is valid, and `False` otherwise. The code also includes some test examples to demonstrate how to use the function.

Let’s try out the code generated above.

import re


def validate_email(email):
    # Use a regular expression to check if the email address is in the correct format
    pattern = r"^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$"
    if re.match(pattern, email):
        return True
    else:
        return False


print(validate_email("sam@@openai.com"))  # bad email address
print(validate_email("sam@openai"))  # bad email address
print(validate_email("[e-mail]"))  # good email address

False
False
True

The generated code may sometimes need editing, but this one worked out-of-the-box.

Using Hugging Face Transformers Instead of Llama.cpp

By default, the LLM backend employed by OnPrem.LLM is llama-cpp-python, which requires models in GGUF format. As of v0.5.0, it is not possible to use Hugging Face transformers as the LLM backend instead. This is accomplished by using the model_id parameter (instead of supplying a model_url argument). In the example below, we run the Zephyr-7B-beta model.

# llama-cpp-python does NOT need to be installed when using model_id parameter
llm = LLM(model_id="HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta")

This allows you to easily use any model on the Hugging Face hub in SafeTensors format provided it can be loaded with transformers.AutoModelForCausalLM (or transformers.AutoModelForVision2Seq). Note that, when using the model_id parameter, the prompt_template is set automatically by transformers.

Using the transformers backend requires the bitsandbytes library, lightweight Python wrapper around CUDA custom functions, in particular 8-bit optimizers, matrix multiplication (LLM.int8()), and 8 & 4-bit quantization functions. There are ongoing efforts by the bitsandbytes team to support multiple backends in addition to CUDA. However, we have only tested with a CUDA backend (CUDA 12.x). If you receive errors related to bitsandbytes, please refer to the bitsandbytes documentation.

Connecting to LLMs Served Through REST APIs

OnPrem.LLM can be used with LLMs being served through any OpenAI-compatible REST API. This means you can easily use OnPrem.LLM with tools like vLLM, OpenLLM, Ollama, and the llama.cpp server.

For instance, using vLLM, you can serve a LLaMA 3 model as follows:

python -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server --model NousResearch/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct --dtype auto --api-key token-abc123

You can then connect OnPrem.LLM to the LLM by supplying the URL of the server you just started:

from onprem import LLM
llm = LLM(model_url='http://localhost:8000/v1', api_key='token-abc123') 
# Note: The API key can either be supplied directly or stored in the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable.
#       If the server does not require an API key, `api_key` should still be supplied with a dummy value like 'na'.

That’s it! Solve problems with OnPrem.LLM as you normally would (e.g., RAG question-answering, summarization, few-shot prompting, code generation, etc.).

Using OpenAI Models with OnPrem.LLM

Even when using on-premises language models, it can sometimes be useful to have easy access to non-local, cloud-based models (e.g., OpenAI) for testing, producing baselines for comparison, and generating synthetic examples for fine-tuning. For these reasons, in spite of the name, OnPrem.LLM now includes support for OpenAI chat models:

from onprem import LLM
llm = LLM(model_url='openai://gpt-4o', temperature=0)

/home/amaiya/projects/ghub/onprem/onprem/core.py:196: UserWarning: The model you supplied is gpt-4o, an external service (i.e., not on-premises). Use with caution, as your data and prompts will be sent externally.
  warnings.warn(f'The model you supplied is {self.model_name}, an external service (i.e., not on-premises). '+\

saved_result = llm.prompt('List three cute  names for a cat and explain why each is cute.')

Certainly! Here are three cute names for a cat, along with explanations for why each is adorable:

1. **Whiskers**: This name is cute because it highlights one of the most distinctive and charming features of a cat—their whiskers. It's playful and endearing, evoking the image of a curious cat twitching its whiskers as it explores its surroundings.

2. **Mittens**: This name is cute because it conjures up the image of a cat with little white paws that look like they are wearing mittens. It's a cozy and affectionate name that suggests warmth and cuddliness, much like a pair of soft mittens.

3. **Pumpkin**: This name is cute because it brings to mind the warm, orange hues of a pumpkin, which can be reminiscent of certain cat fur colors. It's also associated with the fall season, which is often linked to comfort and coziness. Plus, the name "Pumpkin" has a sweet and affectionate ring to it, making it perfect for a beloved pet.

image_url = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dd/Gfp-wisconsin-madison-the-nature-boardwalk.jpg/2560px-Gfp-wisconsin-madison-the-nature-boardwalk.jpg"
saved_result = llm.prompt('Describe the weather in this image.', image_path_or_url=image_url)

The weather in the image appears to be clear and sunny. The sky is mostly blue with some scattered clouds, suggesting a pleasant day with good visibility. The sunlight is bright, illuminating the green grass and landscape.

Azure OpenAI

For Azure OpenAI models, use the following URL format:

llm = LLM(model_url='azure://<deployment_name>', ...) 
# <deployment_name> is the Azure deployment name and additional Azure-specific parameters 
# can be supplied as extra arguments to LLM (or set as environment variables)

Guided Prompts

You can use OnPrem.LLM with the Guidance package to guide the LLM to generate outputs based on your conditions and constraints. We’ll show a couple of examples here, but see our documentation on guided prompts for more information.

from onprem import LLM

llm = LLM(n_gpu_layers=-1, verbose=False)
from onprem.guider import Guider
guider = Guider(llm)

With the Guider, you can use use Regular Expressions to control LLM generation:

prompt = f"""Question: Luke has ten balls. He gives three to his brother. How many balls does he have left?
Answer: """ + gen(name='answer', regex='\d+')

guider.prompt(prompt, echo=False)

{'answer': '7'}

prompt = '19, 18,' + gen(name='output', max_tokens=50, stop_regex='[^\d]7[^\d]')
guider.prompt(prompt)

19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8,

{'output': ' 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8,'}

See the documentation for more examples of how to use Guidance with OnPrem.LLM.

Built-In Web App

OnPrem.LLM includes a built-in Web app to access the LLM. To start it, run the following command after installation:

onprem --port 8000

Then, enter localhost:8000 (or <domain_name>:8000 if running on remote server) in a Web browser to access the application:

For more information, see the corresponding documentation.

Speeding Up Inference Using a GPU

The above example employed the use of a CPU. If you have a GPU (even an older one with less VRAM), you can speed up responses. See the llama-cpp-python documentation for installing llama-cpp-python with GPU support for your system.

The steps below describe installing and using llama-cpp-python with CUDA support and can be employed for GPU acceleration on systems with NVIDIA GPUs (e.g., Linux, WSL2, Google Colab).

Step 1: Install llama-cpp-python with GPU support

CMAKE_ARGS="-DGGML_CUDA=on" FORCE_CMAKE=1 pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall llama-cpp-python --no-cache-dir

# For Mac users replace above with:
# CMAKE_ARGS="-DGGML_METAL=on" FORCE_CMAKE=1 pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall llama-cpp-python --no-cache-dir

Step 2: Use the n_gpu_layers argument with LLM

llm = LLM(n_gpu_layers=35)

The value for n_gpu_layers depends on your GPU memory and the model you’re using (e.g., max of 33 for default 7B model). Set n_gpu_layers=-1 to offload all layers to the GPU (this will offload all 33 layers to the default model). You can reduce the value if you get an error (e.g., CUDA error: out-of-memory). For instance, using two old NVDIDIA TITAN V GPUs each with 12GB of VRAM, 59 out 83 layers in a quantized Llama-2 70B model can be offloaded to the GPUs (i.e., 60 layers or more results in a “CUDA out of memory” error).

With the steps above, calls to methods like llm.prompt will offload computation to your GPU and speed up responses from the LLM.

The above assumes that NVIDIA drivers and the CUDA toolkit are already installed. On Ubuntu Linux systems, this can be accomplished with a single command.

FAQ

1. How do I use other models with OnPrem.LLM?

   You can supply the URL to other models to the LLM constructor, as we did above in the code generation example.

   As of v0.0.20, we support models in GGUF format, which supersedes the older GGML format. You can find llama.cpp-supported models with GGUF in the file name on huggingface.co.

   Make sure you are pointing to the URL of the actual GGUF model file, which is the “download” link on the model’s page. An example for Mistral-7B is shown below:

   

   Note that some models have specific prompt formats. For instance, the prompt template required for Zephyr-7B, as described on the model’s page, is:

   <|system|>\n</s>\n<|user|>\n{prompt}</s>\n<|assistant|>

   So, to use the Zephyr-7B model, you must supply the prompt_template argument to the LLM constructor (or specify it in the webapp.yml configuration for the Web app).

   # how to use Zephyr-7B with OnPrem.LLM
   llm = LLM(model_url='https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/zephyr-7B-beta-GGUF/resolve/main/zephyr-7b-beta.Q4_K_M.gguf',
             prompt_template = "<|system|>\n</s>\n<|user|>\n{prompt}</s>\n<|assistant|>",
             n_gpu_layers=33)
   llm.prompt("List three cute names for a cat.")
   

2. When installing onprem, I’m getting “build” errors related to llama-cpp-python (or chroma-hnswlib) on Windows/Mac/Linux?

   See this LangChain documentation on LLama.cpp for help on installing the llama-cpp-python package for your system. Additional tips for different operating systems are shown below:

   For Linux systems like Ubuntu, try this: sudo apt-get install build-essential g++ clang. Other tips are here.

   For Windows systems, please try following these instructions. We recommend you use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) instead of using Microsoft Windows directly. If you do need to use Microsoft Window directly, be sure to install the Microsoft C++ Build Tools and make sure the Desktop development with C++ is selected.

   For Macs, try following these tips.

   There are also various other tips for each of the above OSes in this privateGPT repo thread. Of course, you can also easily use OnPrem.LLM on Google Colab.

   Finally, if you still can’t overcome issues with building llama-cpp-python, you can try installing the pre-built wheel file for your system:

   Example: pip install llama-cpp-python==0.2.90 --extra-index-url https://abetlen.github.io/llama-cpp-python/whl/cpu

   Tip: There are pre-built wheel files for chroma-hnswlib, as well. If running pip install onprem fails on building chroma-hnswlib, it may be because a pre-built wheel doesn’t yet exist for the version of Python you’re using (in which case you can try downgrading Python).

3. I’m behind a corporate firewall and am receiving an SSL error when trying to download the model?

   Try this:

   from onprem import LLM
   LLM.download_model(url, ssl_verify=False)
   

   You can download the embedding model (used by LLM.ingest and LLM.ask) as follows:

   wget --no-check-certificate https://public.ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/reimers/sentence-transformers/v0.2/all-MiniLM-L6-v2.zip
   

   Supply the unzipped folder name as the embedding_model_name argument to LLM.

   If you’re getting SSL errors when even running pip install, try this:

   pip install –-trusted-host pypi.org –-trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org pip_system_certs
   

4. How do I use this on a machine with no internet access?

   Use the LLM.download_model method to download the model files to <your_home_directory>/onprem_data and transfer them to the same location on the air-gapped machine.

   For the ingest and ask methods, you will need to also download and transfer the embedding model files:

   from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
   model = SentenceTransformer('sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2')
   model.save('/some/folder')
   

   Copy the some/folder folder to the air-gapped machine and supply the path to LLM via the embedding_model_name parameter.

5. My model is not loading when I call llm = LLM(...)?

   This can happen if the model file is corrupt (in which case you should delete from <home directory>/onprem_data and re-download). It can also happen if the version of llama-cpp-python needs to be upgraded to the latest.

6. I’m getting an “Illegal instruction (core dumped) error when instantiating a langchain.llms.Llamacpp or onprem.LLM object?

   Your CPU may not support instructions that cmake is using for one reason or another (e.g., due to Hyper-V in VirtualBox settings). You can try turning them off when building and installing llama-cpp-python:

   # example
   CMAKE_ARGS="-DGGML_CUDA=ON -DGGML_AVX2=OFF -DGGML_AVX=OFF -DGGML_F16C=OFF -DGGML_FMA=OFF" FORCE_CMAKE=1 pip install --force-reinstall llama-cpp-python --no-cache-dir
   

7. How can I speed up LLM.ingest using my GPU?

   Try using the embedding_model_kwargs argument:

   from onprem import LLM
   llm  = LLM(embedding_model_kwargs={'device':'cuda'})
