Llama2Chat

This notebook shows how to augment Llama-2 LLMs with the Llama2Chat wrapper to support the Llama-2 chat prompt format. Several LLM implementations in LangChain can be used as interface to Llama-2 chat models. These include ChatHuggingFace, LlamaCpp, GPT4All, ..., to mention a few examples.

Llama2Chat is a generic wrapper that implements BaseChatModel and can therefore be used in applications as chat model. Llama2Chat converts a list of Messages into the required chat prompt format and forwards the formatted prompt as str to the wrapped LLM.

from langchain.chains import LLMChain
from langchain.memory import ConversationBufferMemory
from langchain_experimental.chat_models import Llama2Chat

For the chat application examples below, we'll use the following chat prompt_template:

from langchain_core.messages import SystemMessage
from langchain_core.prompts.chat import (
    ChatPromptTemplate,
    HumanMessagePromptTemplate,
    MessagesPlaceholder,
)

template_messages = [
    SystemMessage(content="You are a helpful assistant."),
    MessagesPlaceholder(variable_name="chat_history"),
    HumanMessagePromptTemplate.from_template("{text}"),
]
prompt_template = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(template_messages)

Chat with Llama-2 via HuggingFaceTextGenInference LLM​

A HuggingFaceTextGenInference LLM encapsulates access to a text-generation-inference server. In the following example, the inference server serves a meta-llama/Llama-2-13b-chat-hf model. It can be started locally with:

docker run \
  --rm \
  --gpus all \
  --ipc=host \
  -p 8080:80 \
  -v ~/.cache/huggingface/hub:/data \
  -e HF_API_TOKEN=${HF_API_TOKEN} \
  ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:0.9 \
  --hostname 0.0.0.0 \
  --model-id meta-llama/Llama-2-13b-chat-hf \
  --quantize bitsandbytes \
  --num-shard 4

This works on a machine with 4 x RTX 3080ti cards, for example. Adjust the --num_shard value to the number of GPUs available. The HF_API_TOKEN environment variable holds the Hugging Face API token.

# !pip3 install text-generation

Create a HuggingFaceTextGenInference instance that connects to the local inference server and wrap it into Llama2Chat.

from langchain_community.llms import HuggingFaceTextGenInference

llm = HuggingFaceTextGenInference(
    inference_server_url="http://127.0.0.1:8080/",
    max_new_tokens=512,
    top_k=50,
    temperature=0.1,
    repetition_penalty=1.03,
)

model = Llama2Chat(llm=llm)

Then you are ready to use the chat model together with prompt_template and conversation memory in an LLMChain.

memory = ConversationBufferMemory(memory_key="chat_history", return_messages=True)
chain = LLMChain(llm=model, prompt=prompt_template, memory=memory)
print(
    chain.run(
        text="What can I see in Vienna? Propose a few locations. Names only, no details."
    )
)
 Sure, I'd be happy to help! Here are a few popular locations to consider visiting in Vienna:

1. Schönbrunn Palace
2. St. Stephen's Cathedral
3. Hofburg Palace
4. Belvedere Palace
5. Prater Park
6. Vienna State Opera
7. Albertina Museum
8. Museum of Natural History
9. Kunsthistorisches Museum
10. Ringstrasse
print(chain.run(text="Tell me more about #2."))
 Certainly! St. Stephen's Cathedral (Stephansdom) is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Vienna and a must-see attraction for visitors. This stunning Gothic cathedral is located in the heart of the city and is known for its intricate stone carvings, colorful stained glass windows, and impressive dome.

The cathedral was built in the 12th century and has been the site of many important events throughout history, including the coronation of Holy Roman emperors and the funeral of Mozart. Today, it is still an active place of worship and offers guided tours, concerts, and special events. Visitors can climb up the south tower for panoramic views of the city or attend a service to experience the beautiful music and chanting.

Chat with Llama-2 via LlamaCPP LLM​

For using a Llama-2 chat model with a LlamaCPP LMM, install the llama-cpp-python library using these installation instructions. The following example uses a quantized llama-2-7b-chat.Q4_0.gguf model stored locally at ~/Models/llama-2-7b-chat.Q4_0.gguf.

After creating a LlamaCpp instance, the llm is again wrapped into Llama2Chat

from os.path import expanduser

from langchain_community.llms import LlamaCpp

model_path = expanduser("~/Models/llama-2-7b-chat.Q4_0.gguf")

llm = LlamaCpp(
    model_path=model_path,
    streaming=False,
)
model = Llama2Chat(llm=llm)
API Reference:LlamaCpp

and used in the same way as in the previous example.

memory = ConversationBufferMemory(memory_key="chat_history", return_messages=True)
chain = LLMChain(llm=model, prompt=prompt_template, memory=memory)
print(
    chain.run(
        text="What can I see in Vienna? Propose a few locations. Names only, no details."
    )
)
  Of course! Vienna is a beautiful city with a rich history and culture. Here are some of the top tourist attractions you might want to consider visiting:
1. Schönbrunn Palace
2. St. Stephen's Cathedral
3. Hofburg Palace
4. Belvedere Palace
5. Prater Park
6. MuseumsQuartier
7. Ringstrasse
8. Vienna State Opera
9. Kunsthistorisches Museum
10. Imperial Palace

These are just a few of the many amazing places to see in Vienna. Each one has its own unique history and charm, so I hope you enjoy exploring this beautiful city!
