> Note that this is a very simple test tool only support one round chat without any memory about last input, if you want to try full ability of the model, you may go to [RESTful API and Web UI](#id_666). We use the DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat-GGUF model as an example here. But we also support other models, you can replace it with any other model that you want to test. 

<h4>Run Example</h4>

```shell
# Begin from root of your cloned repo!
# Begin from root of your cloned repo!!
# Begin from root of your cloned repo!!! 

# Download mzwing/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat-GGUF from huggingface
mkdir DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat-GGUF
cd DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat-GGUF

wget https://huggingface.co/mzwing/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat-GGUF/resolve/main/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat.Q4_K_M.gguf -O DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat.Q4_K_M.gguf

cd .. # Move to repo's root dir

# Start local chat
python -m ktransformers.local_chat --model_path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat --gguf_path ./DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat-GGUF

# If you see “OSError: We couldn't connect to 'https://huggingface.co' to load this file”, try：
# GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 git clone https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Lite
# python  ktransformers.local_chat --model_path ./DeepSeek-V2-Lite --gguf_path ./DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat-GGUF
```

It features the following arguments:

- `--model_path` (required): Name of the model (such as "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat" which will automatically download configs from [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Lite)). Or if you already got local files  you may directly use that path to initialize the model.  
  
  > Note: <strong>.safetensors</strong> files are not required in the directory. We only need config files to build model and tokenizer.

- `--gguf_path` (required): Path of a directory containing GGUF files which could that can be downloaded from [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/mzwing/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat-GGUF/tree/main).

- `--optimize_rule_path` (required except for Qwen2Moe and DeepSeek-V2): Path of YAML file containing optimize rules. There are two rule files pre-written in the [ktransformers/optimize/optimize_rules](ktransformers/optimize/optimize_rules) directory for optimizing DeepSeek-V2 and Qwen2-57B-A14, two SOTA MoE models.

- `--max_new_tokens`: Int (default=1000). Maximum number of new tokens to generate.

- `--cpu_infer`: Int (default=10). The number of CPUs used for inference. Should ideally be set to the (total number of cores - 2).

<h3>RESTful API and Web UI</h3>


Start without website:

```sh
ktransformers --model_path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat --gguf_path /path/to/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat-GGUF --port 10002
```

Start with website:

```sh
ktransformers --model_path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat --gguf_path /path/to/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat-GGUF  --port 10002 --web True
```

Or you want to start server with transformers, the model_path should include safetensors

```bash
ktransformers --type transformers --model_path /mnt/data/model/Qwen2-0.5B-Instruct --port 10002 --web True
```

Access website with url [http://localhost:10002/web/index.html#/chat](http://localhost:10002/web/index.html#/chat) :

More information about the RESTful API server can be found [here](doc/en/api/server/server.md). You can also find an example of integrating with Tabby [here](doc/en/api/server/tabby.md).

<h2 id="tutorial">📃 Brief Injection Tutorial</h2>
At the heart of KTransformers is a user-friendly, template-based injection framework. 
This allows researchers to easily replace original torch modules with optimized variants. It also simplifies the process of combining multiple optimizations, allowing the exploration of their synergistic effects.

</br>
<p align="center">
  <picture>
    <img alt="Inject-Struction" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6b4c1e54-9f6d-45c5-a3fc-8fa45e7d257e" width=65%>
  </picture>
</p>

Given that vLLM already serves as a great framework for large-scale deployment optimizations, KTransformers is particularly focused on local deployments that are constrained by limited resources. We pay special attention to heterogeneous computing opportunities, such as GPU/CPU offloading of quantized models. For example, we support the efficient <a herf="https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile/tree/main">Llamafile</a> and <a herf="https://github.com/IST-DASLab/marlin">Marlin</a> kernels for CPU and GPU, respectively. More details can be found <a herf="doc/en/operators/llamafile.md">here</a>.

<h3>Example Usage</h3>
To utilize the provided kernels, users only need to create a YAML-based injection template and add the call to `optimize_and_load_gguf` before using the Transformers model.

```python
with torch.device("meta"):
    model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_config(config, trust_remote_code=True)
optimize_and_load_gguf(model, optimize_rule_path, gguf_path, config)
...
generated = prefill_and_generate(model, tokenizer, input_tensor.cuda(), max_new_tokens=1000)
```

In this example, the AutoModel is first initialized on the meta device to avoid occupying any memory resources. Then, `optimize_and_load_gguf` iterates through all sub-modules of the model, matches rules specified in your YAML rule file, and replaces them with advanced modules as specified.

After injection, the original `generate` interface is available, but we also provide a compatible `prefill_and_generate` method, which enables further optimizations like CUDAGraph to improve generation speed.

<h3>How to custom your model</h3>

A detailed tutorial of the injection and multi-GPU using DeepSeek-V2 as an example is given [here](doc/en/injection_tutorial.md).

Below is an example of a YAML template for replacing all original Linear modules with Marlin, an advanced 4-bit quantization kernel.

```yaml
- match:
    name: "^model\\.layers\\..*$"  # regular expression 
    class: torch.nn.Linear  # only match modules matching name and class simultaneously
  replace:
    class: ktransformers.operators.linear.KTransformerLinear  # optimized Kernel on quantized data types
    device: "cpu"   # which devices to load this module when initializing
    kwargs:
      generate_device: "cuda"
      generate_linear_type: "QuantizedLinearMarlin"
```

Each rule in the YAML file has two parts: `match` and `replace`. The `match` part specifies which module should be replaced, and the `replace` part specifies the module to be injected into the model along with the initialization keywords.

You can find example rule templates for optimizing DeepSeek-V2 and Qwen2-57B-A14, two SOTA MoE models, in the [ktransformers/optimize/optimize_rules](ktransformers/optimize/optimize_rules) directory. These templates are used to power the `local_chat.py` demo.

If you are interested in our design principles and the implementation of the injection framework, please refer to the [design document](doc/en/deepseek-v2-injection.md).
