Text generation web UI
A Gradio web UI for Large Language Models.
Its goal is to become the AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui of text generation.
Features
- 3 interface modes: default (two columns), notebook, and chat
- Multiple model backends: transformers, llama.cpp, ExLlama, ExLlamaV2, AutoGPTQ, GPTQ-for-LLaMa, CTransformers
- Dropdown menu for quickly switching between different models
- LoRA: load and unload LoRAs on the fly, train a new LoRA using QLoRA
- Precise instruction templates for chat mode, including Llama-2-chat, Alpaca, Vicuna, WizardLM, StableLM, and many others
- 4-bit, 8-bit, and CPU inference through the transformers library
- Use llama.cpp models with transformers samplers (
llamacpp_HF
loader) - Multimodal pipelines, including LLaVA and MiniGPT-4
- Extensions framework
- Custom chat characters
- Very efficient text streaming
- Markdown output with LaTeX rendering, to use for instance with GALACTICA
- API, including endpoints for websocket streaming (see the examples)
To learn how to use the various features, check out the Documentation: https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/docs
Installation
One-click installers
Windows | Linux | macOS | WSL |
---|---|---|---|
oobabooga-windows.zip | oobabooga-linux.zip | oobabooga-macos.zip | oobabooga-wsl.zip |
Just download the zip above, extract it, and double-click on "start". The web UI and all its dependencies will be installed in the same folder.
- The source codes and more information can be found here: https://github.com/oobabooga/one-click-installers
- There is no need to run the installers as admin.
- Huge thanks to @jllllll, @ClayShoaf, and @xNul for their contributions to these installers.
Manual installation using Conda
Recommended if you have some experience with the command-line.
0. Install Conda
https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html
On Linux or WSL, it can be automatically installed with these two commands (source):
curl -sL "https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh" > "Miniconda3.sh"
bash Miniconda3.sh
1. Create a new conda environment
conda create -n textgen python=3.10.9
conda activate textgen
2. Install Pytorch
System | GPU | Command |
---|---|---|
Linux/WSL | NVIDIA | pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio |
Linux/WSL | CPU only | pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu |
Linux | AMD | pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm5.4.2 |
MacOS + MPS | Any | pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio |
Windows | NVIDIA | pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu117 |
Windows | CPU only | pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio |
The up-to-date commands can be found here: https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/.
3. Install the web UI
git clone https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui
cd text-generation-webui
pip install -r requirements.txt
AMD, Metal, Intel Arc, and CPUs without AVX2
- Replace the last command above with
pip install -r requirements_nocuda.txt
-
Manually install llama-cpp-python using the appropriate command for your hardware: Installation from PyPI.
-
Do the same for CTransformers: Installation.
-
AMD: Manually install AutoGPTQ: Installation.
-
AMD: Manually install ExLlama by simply cloning it into the
repositories
folder (it will be automatically compiled at runtime after that):
cd text-generation-webui
mkdir repositories
cd repositories
git clone https://github.com/turboderp/exllama
bitsandbytes on older NVIDIA GPUs
bitsandbytes >= 0.39 may not work. In that case, to use --load-in-8bit
, you may have to downgrade like this:
- Linux:
pip install bitsandbytes==0.38.1
- Windows:
pip install https://github.com/jllllll/bitsandbytes-windows-webui/raw/main/bitsandbytes-0.38.1-py3-none-any.whl
Alternative: Docker
ln -s docker/{Dockerfile,docker-compose.yml,.dockerignore} .
cp docker/.env.example .env
# Edit .env and set TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST based on your GPU model
docker compose up --build
- You need to have docker compose v2.17 or higher installed. See this guide for instructions.
- For additional docker files, check out this repository.
Updating the requirements
From time to time, the requirements.txt
changes. To update, use these commands:
conda activate textgen
cd text-generation-webui
pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade
Downloading models
Models should be placed in the text-generation-webui/models
folder. They are usually downloaded from Hugging Face.
- Transformers or GPTQ models are made of several files and must be placed in a subfolder. Example:
text-generation-webui
├── models
│ ├── lmsys_vicuna-33b-v1.3
│ │ ├── config.json
│ │ ├── generation_config.json
│ │ ├── pytorch_model-00001-of-00007.bin
│ │ ├── pytorch_model-00002-of-00007.bin
│ │ ├── pytorch_model-00003-of-00007.bin
│ │ ├── pytorch_model-00004-of-00007.bin
│ │ ├── pytorch_model-00005-of-00007.bin
│ │ ├── pytorch_model-00006-of-00007.bin
│ │ ├── pytorch_model-00007-of-00007.bin
│ │ ├── pytorch_model.bin.index.json
│ │ ├── special_tokens_map.json
│ │ ├── tokenizer_config.json
│ │ └── tokenizer.model
- GGUF models are a single file and should be placed directly into
models
. Example:
text-generation-webui
├── models
│ ├── llama-2-13b-chat.Q4_K_M.gguf
In both cases, you can use the "Model" tab of the UI to download the model from Hugging Face automatically. It is also possible to download via the command-line with python download-model.py organization/model
(use --help
to see all the options).
GPT-4chan
Instructions
GPT-4chan has been shut down from Hugging Face, so you need to download it elsewhere. You have two options:
The 32-bit version is only relevant if you intend to run the model in CPU mode. Otherwise, you should use the 16-bit version.
After downloading the model, follow these steps:
- Place the files under
models/gpt4chan_model_float16
ormodels/gpt4chan_model
. - Place GPT-J 6B's config.json file in that same folder: config.json.
- Download GPT-J 6B's tokenizer files (they will be automatically detected when you attempt to load GPT-4chan):
python download-model.py EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B --text-only
When you load this model in default or notebook modes, the "HTML" tab will show the generated text in 4chan format:
Starting the web UI
conda activate textgen
cd text-generation-webui
python server.py
Then browse to
http://localhost:7860/?__theme=dark
Optionally, you can use the following command-line flags:

Acknowledgment
In August 2023, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) provided a generous grant to encourage and support my independent work on this project. I am extremely grateful for their trust and recognition, which will allow me to dedicate more time towards realizing the full potential of text-generation-webui.
