## Introduction

LMDeploy is a toolkit for compressing, deploying, and serving LLM, developed by the [MMRazor](https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmrazor) and [MMDeploy](https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdeploy) teams. It has the following core features:

- **Efficient Inference Engine (TurboMind)**: Based on [FasterTransformer](https://github.com/NVIDIA/FasterTransformer), we have implemented an efficient inference engine - TurboMind, which supports the inference of LLaMA and its variant models on NVIDIA GPUs.

- **Interactive Inference Mode**: By caching the k/v of attention during multi-round dialogue processes, it remembers dialogue history, thus avoiding repetitive processing of historical sessions.

- **Multi-GPU Model Deployment and Quantization**: We provide comprehensive model deployment and quantification support, and have been validated at different scales.

- **Persistent Batch Inference**: Further optimization of model execution efficiency.

## Performance

As shown in the figure below, we have compared the token generation speed among facebookresearch/llama, HuggingFace Transformers, and DeepSpeed on the 7B model.

Target Device: NVIDIA A100(80G)

Metrics: Throughput (token/s)

Test Data: The number of input tokens is 1, and the number of generated tokens is 2048

The throughput of TurboMind exceeds 2000 tokens/s, which is about 5% - 15% higher than DeepSpeed overall and outperforms huggingface transformers by up to 2.3x

## Quick Start

### Installation

Below are quick steps for installation:

```shell
conda create -n lmdeploy python=3.10
conda activate lmdeploy
git clone clone https://github.com/InternLM/lmdeploy.git
cd lmdeploy
pip install -e .
```

### Deploy InternLM

#### Get InternLM model

```shell
# 1. Download InternLM model

# 2. Convert InternLM model to turbomind's format, which will be in "./workspace" by default
python3 -m lmdeploy.serve.turbomind.deploy internlm-7b /path/to/internlm-7b hf

```

#### Inference by TurboMind

```shell
docker run -rm -v $(pwd)/workspace:/workspace -it openmmlab/lmdeploy:latest \
    python3 -m lmdeploy.turbomind.chat internlm /workspace
```

```{note}
When inferring with FP16 precision, the InternLM-7B model requires at least 22.7G of GPU memory overhead on TurboMind. It is recommended to use NVIDIA cards such as 3090, V100, A100, etc.
```

#### Serving

Launch inference server by:

```shell
bash workspace/service_docker_up.sh
```

Then, you can communicate with the inference server by command line,

```shell
python3 lmdeploy.serve.client {server_ip_addresss}:33337 internlm
```

or webui,

```
python3 lmdeploy.app {server_ip_addresss}:33337 internlm
```

For the deployment of other supported models, such as LLaMA, vicuna, you can find the guide from [here](docs/en/serving.md)

## Quantization

In fp16 mode, kv_cache int8 quantization can be enabled, and a single card can serve more users.
First execute the quantization script, and the quantization parameters are stored in the weight directory transformed by `deploy.py`.

```
python3 -m lmdeploy.lite.apis.kv_qparams \
  --model $HF_MODEL \
  --output_dir $DEPLOY_WEIGHT_DIR \
  --symmetry True \   # Whether to use symmetric or asymmetric quantization.
  --offload  False \  # Whether to offload some modules to CPU to save GPU memory.
  --num_tp 1 \   # The number of GPUs used for tensor parallelism
```

Then adjust `config.ini`

- `use_context_fmha` changed to 0, means off
- `quant_policy` is set to 4. This parameter defaults to 0, which means it is not enabled

Here is [quantization test results](./docs/zh_cn/quantization.md).
