picoLLM Inference Engine Python Binding

Made in Vancouver, Canada by Picovoice

picoLLM Inference Engine

picoLLM Inference Engine is a highly accurate and cross-platform SDK optimized for running compressed large language models. picoLLM Inference Engine is:

• Accurate; picoLLM Compression improves GPTQ by significant margins
• Private; LLM inference runs 100% locally.
• Cross-Platform
• Runs on CPU and GPU
• Free for open-weight models

Compatibility

• Python 3.9+
• Runs on Linux (x86_64), macOS (arm64, x86_64), Windows (x86_64, arm64), and Raspberry Pi (5 and 4).

Installation

pip3 install picollm

AccessKey

AccessKey is your authentication and authorization token for deploying Picovoice SDKs, including picoLLM. Anyone who is using Picovoice needs to have a valid AccessKey. You must keep your AccessKey secret. You would need internet connectivity to validate your AccessKey with Picovoice license servers even though the LLM inference is running 100% offline and completely free for open-weight models. Everyone who signs up for Picovoice Console receives a unique AccessKey.

Usage

Create an instance of the engine and generate a prompt completion:

import picollm

pllm = picollm.create(
    access_key='${ACCESS_KEY}',
    model_path='${MODEL_PATH}')

res = pllm.generate(prompt='${PROMPT}')
print(res.completion)

Replace ${ACCESS_KEY} with yours obtained from Picovoice Console, ${MODEL_PATH} with the path to a model file downloaded from Picovoice Console, and ${PROMPT} with a prompt string.

Instruction-tuned models (e.g., llama-3-8b-instruct, llama-2-7b-chat, and gemma-2b-it) have a specific chat template. You can either directly format the prompt or use a dialog helper:

dialog = pllm.get_dialog()
dialog.add_human_request(prompt)

res = pllm.generate(prompt=dialog.prompt())
dialog.add_llm_response(res.completion)
print(res.completion)

To interrupt completion generation before it has finished:

pllm.interrupt()

Finally, when done, be sure to release the resources explicitly:

pllm.release()

Demos

picollmdemo provides command-line utilities for LLM completion and chat using picoLLM.
