A Gradio web UI for Large Language Models.
Its goal is to become the AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui of text generation.
 |
 |
|---|---|
 |
 |
- 3 interface modes: default (two columns), notebook, and chat
- Multiple model backends: transformers, llama.cpp, ExLlama, AutoGPTQ, GPTQ-for-LLaMa, ctransformers
- Dropdown menu for quickly switching between different models
- LoRA: load and unload LoRAs on the fly, train a new LoRA using QLoRA
- Precise instruction templates for chat mode, including Llama-2-chat, Alpaca, Vicuna, WizardLM, StableLM, and many others
- 4-bit, 8-bit, and CPU inference through the transformers library
- Use llama.cpp models with transformers samplers (
llamacpp_HFloader) - Multimodal pipelines, including LLaVA and MiniGPT-4
- Extensions framework
- Custom chat characters
- Very efficient text streaming
- Markdown output with LaTeX rendering, to use for instance with GALACTICA
- API, including endpoints for websocket streaming (see the examples)

- AMD users: https://rentry.org/eq3hg
git clone https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui
cd text-generation-webui
pip install -r requirements.txt
bitsandbytes >= 0.39 may not work. In that case, to use --load-in-8bit, you may have to downgrade like this:
- Linux:
pip install bitsandbytes==0.38.1 - Windows:
pip install https://github.com/jllllll/bitsandbytes-windows-webui/raw/main/bitsandbytes-0.38.1-py3-none-any.whl
ln -s docker/{Dockerfile,docker-compose.yml,.dockerignore} .
cp docker/.env.example .env
# Edit .env and set TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST based on your GPU model
docker compose up --build
- You need to have docker compose v2.17 or higher installed. See this guide for instructions.
- For additional docker files, check out this repository.
From time to time, the requirements.txt changes. To update, use these commands:
conda activate textgen
cd text-generation-webui
pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade
Models should be placed in the text-generation-webui/models folder. They are usually downloaded from Hugging Face.
- Transformers or GPTQ models are made of several files and must be placed in a subfolder. Example:
text-generation-webui
├── models
│ ├── lmsys_vicuna-33b-v1.3
│ │ ├── config.json
│ │ ├── generation_config.json
│ │ ├── pytorch_model-00001-of-00007.bin
│ │ ├── pytorch_model-00002-of-00007.bin
│ │ ├── pytorch_model-00003-of-00007.bin
│ │ ├── pytorch_model-00004-of-00007.bin
│ │ ├── pytorch_model-00005-of-00007.bin
│ │ ├── pytorch_model-00006-of-00007.bin
│ │ ├── pytorch_model-00007-of-00007.bin
│ │ ├── pytorch_model.bin.index.json
│ │ ├── special_tokens_map.json
│ │ ├── tokenizer_config.json
│ │ └── tokenizer.model
In the "Model" tab of the UI, those models can be automatically downloaded from Hugging Face. You can also download them via the command-line with python download-model.py organization/model.
- GGML models are a single file and should be placed directly into
models. Example:
text-generation-webui
├── models
│ ├── llama-13b.ggmlv3.q4_K_M.bin
Those models must be downloaded manually, as they are not currently supported by the automated downloader.
Instructions
GPT-4chan has been shut down from Hugging Face, so you need to download it elsewhere. You have two options:
The 32-bit version is only relevant if you intend to run the model in CPU mode. Otherwise, you should use the 16-bit version.
After downloading the model, follow these steps:
- Place the files under
models/gpt4chan_model_float16ormodels/gpt4chan_model. - Place GPT-J 6B's config.json file in that same folder: config.json.
- Download GPT-J 6B's tokenizer files (they will be automatically detected when you attempt to load GPT-4chan):
python download-model.py EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B --text-only
When you load this model in default or notebook modes, the "HTML" tab will show the generated text in 4chan format:
conda activate textgen
cd text-generation-webui
python server.py
Then browse to
http://localhost:7860/?__theme=dark
