Installation

pip install ctransformers

Usage

It provides a unified interface for all models:

from ctransformers import AutoModelForCausalLM

llm = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("/path/to/ggml-model.bin", model_type="gpt2")

print(llm("AI is going to"))

Run in Google Colab

To stream the output, set stream=True:

for text in llm("AI is going to", stream=True):
    print(text, end="", flush=True)

It also provides access to the low-level C API. See Documentation section below.

Hugging Face Hub

It can be used with models hosted on the Hub:

llm = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("marella/gpt-2-ggml")

If a model repo has multiple model files (.bin or .gguf files), specify a model file using:

llm = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("marella/gpt-2-ggml", model_file="ggml-model.bin")

LangChain

It is integrated into LangChain. See LangChain docs.

GPU

To run some of the model layers on GPU, set the gpu_layers parameter:

llm = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("TheBloke/Llama-2-7B-GGML", gpu_layers=50)

Run in Google Colab

CUDA

Install CUDA libraries using:

pip install ctransformers[cuda]

Metal

To enable Metal support, install the ctransformers package using:

CT_METAL=1 pip install ctransformers --no-binary ctransformers

GPTQ

Note: This is an experimental feature and only LLaMA models are supported using ExLlama.

Install additional dependencies using:

pip install ctransformers[gptq]

Load a GPTQ model using:

llm = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("TheBloke/Llama-2-7B-GPTQ")

Run in Google Colab

If model name or path doesn't contain the word gptq then specify model_type="gptq".

It can also be used with LangChain. Low-level APIs are not fully supported.
