GPT4All

GitHub:nomic-ai/gpt4all an ecosystem of open-source chatbots trained on a massive collections of clean assistant data including code, stories and dialogue.

This example goes over how to use LangChain to interact with GPT4All models.

%pip install --upgrade --quiet langchain-community gpt4all

Import GPT4All

from langchain_community.llms import GPT4All
from langchain_core.prompts import PromptTemplate
API Reference:GPT4All | PromptTemplate

Set Up Question to pass to LLM

template = """Question: {question}

Answer: Let's think step by step."""

prompt = PromptTemplate.from_template(template)

Specify Model

To run locally, download a compatible ggml-formatted model.

The gpt4all page has a useful Model Explorer section:

  • Select a model of interest
  • Download using the UI and move the .bin to the local_path (noted below)

For more info, visit https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all.


This integration does not yet support streaming in chunks via the .stream() method. The below example uses a callback handler with streaming=True:

local_path = (
"./models/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct.Q4_0.gguf" # replace with your local file path
)
from langchain_core.callbacks import BaseCallbackHandler

count = 0


class MyCustomHandler(BaseCallbackHandler):
def on_llm_new_token(self, token: str, **kwargs) -> None:
global count
if count < 10:
print(f"Token: {token}")
count += 1


# Verbose is required to pass to the callback manager
llm = GPT4All(model=local_path, callbacks=[MyCustomHandler()], streaming=True)

# If you want to use a custom model add the backend parameter
# Check https://docs.gpt4all.io/gpt4all_python.html for supported backends
# llm = GPT4All(model=local_path, backend="gptj", callbacks=callbacks, streaming=True)

chain = prompt | llm

question = "What NFL team won the Super Bowl in the year Justin Bieber was born?"

# Streamed tokens will be logged/aggregated via the passed callback
res = chain.invoke({"question": question})
API Reference:BaseCallbackHandler
Token:  Justin
Token: Bieber
Token: was
Token: born
Token: on
Token: March
Token:
Token: 1
Token: ,
