How to Set Up Tlama Core 💻

Get started easily on Windows, Linux, or macOS!

Prerequisites

• CUDA Toolkit (GPU support)
• Python 3.8+ (virtual env recommended)
• PyTorch (GPU version preferred)
• NVIDIA Driver (GPU-compatible)
• CMake (for CUDA kernels)

CUDA Toolkit Setup 🛠️

• Windows: Download from NVIDIA and install.
• Linux: Use sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit or download from NVIDIA.
• macOS: CPU-only (no CUDA support).

Installation Steps 🚀

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/tlama-core.git
   cd tlama-core
   

2. Set Up Environment:

   python3 -m venv tlama-env
   source tlama-env/bin/activate  # Linux/macOS
   .\tlama-env\Scripts\activate  # Windows
   

3. Install Dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Install CUDA Kernels:

   python setup.py install
   

5. Verify:

   python -c "import torch; print(torch.cuda.is_available())"  # Should output True
   

Run Tlama 124M Model 🏃‍♂️

Test it out:

from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("eigencore/tlama-124M", trust_remote_code=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("eigencore/tlama-124M", trust_remote_code=True)

prompt = "Once upon a time in a distant kingdom..."
input_ids = tokenizer.encode(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
output = model.generate(input_ids, max_length=50)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
