> RWKV: RNN with Transformer-level LLM Performance
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
> It combines the best of RNN and transformer - great performance, fast inference, saves VRAM, fast training, "infinite" ctx_len, and free sentence embedding (using the final hidden state).

## Using RWKV in the web UI
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### 1. Download the model
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is available in different sizes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* https://huggingface.co/BlinkDL/rwkv-4-pile-3b/
|
||
|
|
* https://huggingface.co/BlinkDL/rwkv-4-pile-7b/
|
||
|
|
* https://huggingface.co/BlinkDL/rwkv-4-pile-14b/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are also older releases with smaller sizes like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* https://huggingface.co/BlinkDL/rwkv-4-pile-169m/resolve/main/RWKV-4-Pile-169M-20220807-8023.pth
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Download the chosen `.pth` and put it directly in the `models` folder.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### 2. Download the tokenizer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[20B_tokenizer.json](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BlinkDL/ChatRWKV/main/v2/20B_tokenizer.json)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also put it directly in the `models` folder. Make sure to not rename it. It should be called `20B_tokenizer.json`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### 3. Launch the web UI
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No additional steps are required. Just launch it as you would with any other model.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
python server.py --listen --no-stream --model RWKV-4-Pile-169M-20220807-8023.pth
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Setting a custom strategy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is possible to have very fine control over the offloading and precision for the model with the `--rwkv-strategy` flag. Possible values include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
"cpu fp32" # CPU mode
|
||
|
|
"cuda fp16" # GPU mode with float16 precision
|
||
|
|
"cuda fp16 *30 -> cpu fp32" # GPU+CPU offloading. The higher the number after *, the higher the GPU allocation.
|
||
|
|
"cuda fp16i8" # GPU mode with 8-bit precision
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See the README for the PyPl package for more details: https://pypi.org/project/rwkv/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Compiling the CUDA kernel
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can compile the CUDA kernel for the model with `--rwkv-cuda-on`. This should improve the performance a lot but I haven't been able to get it to work yet.
