## 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.
## Supported Models
`LMDeploy` has two inference backends, `Pytorch` and `TurboMind`.
### TurboMind
> **Note**
> W4A16 inference requires Nvidia GPU with Ampere architecture or above.
| Models | Tensor Parallel | FP16 | KV INT8 | W4A16 | W8A8 |
| :------: | :-------------: | :--: | :-----: | :---: | :--: |
| Llama | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Llama2 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| InternLM | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
### Pytorch
| Models | Tensor Parallel | FP16 | KV INT8 | W4A16 | W8A8 |
| :------: | :-------------: | :--: | :-----: | :---: | :--: |
| Llama | Yes | Yes | No | No | No |
| Llama2 | Yes | Yes | No | No | No |
| InternLM | Yes | Yes | No | No | No |
## Performance
**Case I**: output token throughput with fixed input token and output token number (1, 2048)
**Case II**: request throughput with real conversation data
Test Setting: LLaMA-7B, NVIDIA A100(80G)
The output token 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.
And the request throughput of TurboMind is 30% higher than vLLM.
## Quick Start
### Installation
Install lmdeploy with pip ( python 3.8+) or [from source](./docs/en/build.md)
```shell
pip install lmdeploy
```
### Deploy InternLM
#### Get InternLM model
```shell
# 1. Download InternLM model
# Make sure you have git-lfs installed (https://git-lfs.com)
git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/internlm/internlm-chat-7b /path/to/internlm-chat-7b
# if you want to clone without large files – just their pointers
# prepend your git clone with the following env var:
GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1
# 2. Convert InternLM model to turbomind's format, which will be in "./workspace" by default
python3 -m lmdeploy.serve.turbomind.deploy internlm-chat-7b /path/to/internlm-chat-7b
```
#### Inference by TurboMind
```shell
python -m lmdeploy.turbomind.chat ./workspace
```
> **Note**
> When inferring with FP16 precision, the InternLM-7B model requires at least 15.7G of GPU memory overhead on TurboMind.
> It is recommended to use NVIDIA cards such as 3090, V100, A100, etc.
> Disable GPU ECC can free up 10% memory, try `sudo nvidia-smi --ecc-config=0` and reboot system.
> **Note**
> Tensor parallel is available to perform inference on multiple GPUs. Add `--tp=` on `chat` to enable runtime TP.
#### Serving with gradio
```shell
python3 -m lmdeploy.serve.gradio.app ./workspace
```
#### Serving with Restful API
Launch inference server by:
```shell
python3 -m lmdeploy.serve.openai.api_server ./workspace server_ip server_port --instance_num 32 --tp 1
```
Then, you can communicate with it by command line,
```shell
# restful_api_url is what printed in api_server.py, e.g. http://localhost:23333
python -m lmdeploy.serve.openai.api_client restful_api_url
```
or webui,
```shell
# restful_api_url is what printed in api_server.py, e.g. http://localhost:23333
# server_ip and server_port here are for gradio ui
# example: python -m lmdeploy.serve.gradio.app http://localhost:23333 localhost 6006 --restful_api True
python -m lmdeploy.serve.gradio.app restful_api_url server_ip --restful_api True
```
Refer to [restful_api.md](docs/en/restful_api.md) for more details.
#### Serving with Triton Inference Server
Launch inference server by:
```shell
bash workspace/service_docker_up.sh
```
Then, you can communicate with the inference server by command line,
```shell
python3 -m lmdeploy.serve.client {server_ip_addresss}:33337
```
or webui,
```shell
python3 -m lmdeploy.serve.gradio.app {server_ip_addresss}:33337
```
For the deployment of other supported models, such as LLaMA, LLaMA-2, vicuna and so on, you can find the guide from [here](docs/en/serving.md)
### Inference with PyTorch
For detailed instructions on Inference pytorch models, see [here](docs/en/pytorch.md).
#### Single GPU
```shell
python3 -m lmdeploy.pytorch.chat $NAME_OR_PATH_TO_HF_MODEL \
--max_new_tokens 64 \
--temperture 0.8 \
--top_p 0.95 \
--seed 0
```
#### Tensor Parallel with DeepSpeed
```shell
deepspeed --module --num_gpus 2 lmdeploy.pytorch.chat \
$NAME_OR_PATH_TO_HF_MODEL \
--max_new_tokens 64 \
--temperture 0.8 \
--top_p 0.95 \
--seed 0
```
You need to install deepspeed first to use this feature.
```
pip install deepspeed
```
## Quantization
#### Weight INT4 Quantization
LMDeploy uses [AWQ](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.00978) algorithm for model weight quantization
[Click here](./docs/en/w4a16.md) to view the test results for weight int4 usage.
#### KV Cache INT8 Quantization
[Click here](./docs/en/kv_int8.md) to view the usage method, implementation formula, and test results for kv int8.
> **Warning**
> runtime Tensor Parallel for quantilized model is not available. Please setup `--tp` on `deploy` to enable static TP.
