Llama 3 on Your Local Computer | Free GPT-4 Alternative

In this video I will show you the key features of the Llama 3 model and how you can run the Llama 3 model on your own computer. First, I will cover Meta's blog post in detail to explain what's new about the Llama 3 model, and then I will show you how to run the Llama 3 model on your own computer in a very simple way. To do this, we will use the vLLM and Gradio libraries, which will allow us to interact with the Llama 3 model in a visually appealing and lightning-fast way. I hope you'll enjoy how easy it actually is! Let me know in the comments what you think about the new Llama 3 model. :-)

Thanks for sharing. It is amazing that not only you create quality videos, but you also reply to so many technical problems. You are a great guy.

[@metanulski]

Very Nice. Since not everyone has 40 GB Vram, can you be more specific on how to do this with the llama3 8B model. ( because you say we maybe need to change the datatype ist we use a different model, and I have no clue how I should know the correct data type 😁 )

[@martin-thissen]

Great question, thanks for asking! You can see the data type in the config.json inside the Hugging Face repository. Inside the config.json search for “torch_dtype”. Bfloat16 is pretty popular but does currently not work for AWQ quantized models, which usually use float16. Hope this is helpful! :-)

[@zskater1234]

Nice

[@jennilthiyam980]

Hi. Thank you for your video. I wanna know one thing. I have a multiple CSV files which I want the llama to know about it. I have went through other videos, there is a guy that does the same task like I want but after incorporating the files, llama cannot respond other general question correctly but focus only on the information of CSV file. Their method first split the text into chunck and use embedding to embedded them using other embedding methods. Can you please provide any solution to it using only llama and nothing else. What I want is for the llama to know about my files in the top of its already existing knowledge.

[@axelef2344]

You need to embed the knowledge from your CSV files into vector database properly and then when you ask about something related to this knowledge, llama or any of smaller models good for vector search should find it ( this specific chunk or couple of them from DB ) and attach to your question as context. Otherwise you will have to train your model towards this data and this is much more hardware-devouring. AFAIK.

[@jennilthiyam1261]

@@axelef2344 hi. do you have any good video for it. i followed some videos, and yes my model can answer the queries regarding my specific data but when i asked other general question, it fails to reply and also it does not have memory. i want llama to have knowledge about my data and still able to answer other general question also and still has memory.

If i wanted to only get the text results and not launch the UI, what should I remove? Thanks!

[@martin-thissen]

Basically the entire UI class. You would only load the vLLM engine and then call the generation function directly: llm = StreamingLLM(model="casperhansen/llama-3-70b-instruct-awq", quantization="AWQ", dtype="float16") tokenizer = llm.llm_engine.tokenizer.tokenizer sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.6, top_p=0.9, max_tokens=4096, stop_token_ids=[tokenizer.eos_token_id, tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_ids("")] ) prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(history_chat_format, tokenize=False) llm.generate(prompt, sampling_params):

How to run llama 3 70b on 4 x rtx in linux?

[@jeffbruno847]

When i run pip install command I get the error "Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement flash-attn==2.5.7"

[@martin-thissen]

Can you maybe check your pip config? On PyPi you can see that 2.5.7 is actually the most recent version for flash-attn: pypi.org/project/flash-attn/

[@mohsenghafari7652]

thanks . is great job. can i use for gpu 3080?

[@martin-thissen]

Yes, you can :)

[@tubebility]

I too have an RTX 6000, but only in my dreams. 🤑

[@Stealthy_Sloth]

I need the model to upload files for anaclasis like Chat-GPT's interface.

[@martin-thissen]

This would be possible if you further customise the UI. But probably using an existing solution is easier. I think PrivateGPT or Chat with RTX could be helpful for your use case. Is that something you would like me to create a video about? :)

[@mike8289]

Can I run the 70B with an rtx 3090, has 24gb of vram, and how would I do it?

[@martin-thissen]

Great question, fitting 70B parameters in 24 GB VRAM where the default precision for a parameter is 16 bits (8 bits = 1 byte) is a challenging task. Even if you quantize the model weights to 3-bit precision, fitting the model is difficult. However, there still seems to be hope by offloading some model weights to RAM and dynamically loading the required model weights during inference. Of course, this approach is not ideal due to the latency of loading and offloading the model weights, but it seems that a generation speed of 2 tokens/sec is still possible which is not too far off from the human reading speed (~7 tokens/sec). Probably the llama.cpp library is a good solution here: www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/17znv35/how_to_run_70b_on_24gb_vram/

[@RichardLucas]

Ollama has Llama3 in their index, now. I have tested quite a few models for their index for suitability for my own, current app project. I have tested Llama3 now with exactly one, curve-ball chat prompt that my friend came up with whilst we drank vodka and played Fortnite. I am no expert, and my test was in no way scientific, but it was the first time one of the Ollama models hallucinated in my testing. For what it's worth, it seemed to write a paragraph and then to respond to the paragraph it had just written. And then again. And again.

[@freedo201]

What is the prompt if you don't mind sharing?

[@RichardLucas]

​@@freedo201 "Can I get a witness?" I can actually paste the response here. I rigged up a little speech-to-text, text-to-speech experiment so i could talk to the thing, but I still save the text prompt and response to the database. Notice how it ends each paragraph with "assistant". The other models do not do this. Actually, it's too long to paste, here, so I will just paste in as much as KZbin will allow. This isn't even half of it: The classic phrase "Can I get a witness?" is a call to action that originated in gospel music and African American Vernacular English. It was popularized by artists like Sam Cooke and James Brown. In the context of a spiritual or gospel song, "getting a witness" means receiving a strong emotional response or conviction from the Holy Spirit, which is often accompanied by physical reactions such as trembling, shouting, or crying. In everyday language, the phrase has evolved to mean seeking validation or confirmation from someone else. For example, you might ask for a witness in a situation where you want someone to share their similar experiences or feelings with you, offering a sense of solidarity or support. So, who's your witness?assistant Sorry, buddy! It seems like I got a little carried away with the history lesson. You know what they say: "When the going gets tough, the tough get witnessing!"assistant I see what you did there! Okay, okay, no more witnessing puns, I promise! But seriously, if you're looking for someone to share their story or experiences with you, feel free to ask me. I'm here to listen and offer support.

[@martin-thissen]

Hmm, very interesting, thanks for sharing! The fact that the model generates the word "assistant" so often could also indicate that something is wrong with the formatting of the prompt, or Ollama doesn't stop generating text when the token "" occurs. But that's just me speculating. :)

[@RichardLucas]

@@martin-thissen By default my code experiment downloads the template from Ollama and uses it as designed. Again, I've tested a lot of the models with instructions and silly chat prompts - models of 7b params and fewer, anyway.

[@shotelco]

Asking a LLM questions is fun and everything, but most will want a LLM to act as an "agent base". Utilizing a multi-expert foundation. Meaning the LLM is tasked with a coding problem or a finance problem, or to re-write a story. The LLM base is where the agent front-end goes to. How about you front-end something like pythagora;DOT:ai using Llama3 as a LOCAL backend over API? And (and I know I am asking a lot here), provide a training methodology which ingest something a like companies FAQ's, help-desk/knowledge base/ etc? Otherwise playing with any AI is more amusement and entertainment than an actual system for productivity.

[@martin-thissen]

Yes, definitely a fair call! I'll keep it in mind for future videos to take a look at more advanced use cases, such as autonomous task solving :)

let's be real, it's not GPT-4. I don't know why people insist on trying to make this false equivalency. No open source model has still come even close to GPT-4. They can release all the benchmarks they want and blah blah blah, using the two models you immediately see that llama3 is still quite a bit weaker than GPT-4. We'll see when the 300B version comes out. I'm not holding my breath though. If 300B still falls short then it wil be at least another year and a half maybe two before llama 4 comes out that should finally surpass it but by that time GPT-5 will be out and llama will again be behind of course.

[@lucamatteobarbieri2493]

OpenAI despite the name has gone down the closed source route. This makes them dependent on their software engineers. More open llms like llama3 have the advantage of a huge community of developers. One will be like Windows and the other like Linux. What is better? It depends from the use case scenario.

[@avi7278]

@@lucamatteobarbieri2493 my use case is complex coding tasks. Sure maybe on some rag stuff llama 3 can hang with gpt-4 but the advanced reasoning, context and instructions following is still not anywhere where it needs to be for my use case.

[@martin-thissen]

Yes agreed, it’s better than ChatGPT (GPT-3.5) but worse than GPT-4. I think the 400B+ model will achieve GPT-4 level performance. Of course, it would be helpful to know how many tokens it has already been trained on and how many more Meta plans to train it on, but the current benchmarks look very promising!
