Model Weights

Vicuna Weights

We release Vicuna weights v1.3 as merged weights directly. You do not need to apply delta. Vicuna is based on LLaMA and should be used under LLaMA's model license.

You can use the commands below to start chatting. It will automatically download the weights from Hugging Face repos. See more command options and how to handle out-of-memory in the "Inference with Command Line Interface" section below.

Size Chat Command Hugging Face Repo
7B python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3 lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3
13B python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-13b-v1.3 lmsys/vicuna-13b-v1.3
33B python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-33b-v1.3 lmsys/vicuna-33b-v1.3

Old weights: see docs/vicuna_weights_version.md for all versions of weights and their differences.

FastChat-T5

Simply run the command below to start chatting. It will automatically download the weights from a Hugging Face repo.

python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/fastchat-t5-3b-v1.0

Inference with Command Line Interface

(Experimental Feature: You can specify --style rich to enable rich text output and better text streaming quality for some non-ASCII content. This may not work properly on certain terminals.)

Supported Models

FastChat supports a wide range of models, including Vicuna, Alpaca, Baize, ChatGLM, Dolly, Falcon, FastChat-T5, GPT4ALL, Guanaco, MTP, OpenAssistant, RedPajama, StableLM, WizardLM, and more.

See a complete list of supported models and instructions to add a new model here.

Single GPU

The command below requires around 14GB of GPU memory for Vicuna-7B and 28GB of GPU memory for Vicuna-13B. See the "No Enough Memory" section below if you do not have enough memory. --model-path can be a local folder or a Hugging Face repo name.

python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3

Multiple GPUs

You can use model parallelism to aggregate GPU memory from multiple GPUs on the same machine.

python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3 --num-gpus 2

CPU Only

This runs on the CPU only and does not require GPU. It requires around 30GB of CPU memory for Vicuna-7B and around 60GB of CPU memory for Vicuna-13B.

python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3 --device cpu

Metal Backend (Mac Computers with Apple Silicon or AMD GPUs)

Use --device mps to enable GPU acceleration on Mac computers (requires torch >= 2.0). Use --load-8bit to turn on 8-bit compression.

python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3 --device mps --load-8bit

Vicuna-7B can run on a 32GB M1 Macbook with 1 - 2 words / second.

Intel XPU (Intel Data Center and Arc A-Series GPUs)

Install the Intel Extension for PyTorch. Set the OneAPI environment variables:

source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh

Use --device xpu to enable XPU/GPU acceleration.

python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3 --device xpu

Vicuna-7B can run on an Intel Arc A770 16GB.

No Enough Memory

If you do not have enough memory, you can enable 8-bit compression by adding --load-8bit to commands above. This can reduce memory usage by around half with slightly degraded model quality. It is compatible with the CPU, GPU, and Metal backend. Vicuna-13B with 8-bit compression can run on a single NVIDIA 3090/4080/T4/V100(16GB) GPU.

python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3 --load-8bit

In addition to that, you can add --cpu-offloading to commands above to offload weights that don't fit on your GPU onto the CPU memory. This requires 8-bit compression to be enabled and the bitsandbytes package to be installed, which is only available on linux operating systems.

More Platforms

  • FastChat supports GPTQ 4bit inference with GPTQ-for-LLaMa. See docs/gptq.md.
  • MLC LLM, backed by TVM Unity compiler, deploys Vicuna natively on phones, consumer-class GPUs and web browsers via Vulkan, Metal, CUDA and WebGPU.

Serving with Web GUI

To serve using the web UI, you need three main components: web servers that interface with users, model workers that host one or more models, and a controller to coordinate the webserver and model workers. You can learn more about the architecture here.

Here are the commands to follow in your terminal:

Launch the controller

python3 -m fastchat.serve.controller

This controller manages the distributed workers.

Launch the model worker(s)

python3 -m fastchat.serve.model_worker --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3

Wait until the process finishes loading the model and you see "Uvicorn running on ...". The model worker will register itself to the controller .

To ensure that your model worker is connected to your controller properly, send a test message using the following command:

python3 -m fastchat.serve.test_message --model-name vicuna-7b-v1.3

You will see a short output.

Launch the Gradio web server

python3 -m fastchat.serve.gradio_web_server

This is the user interface that users will interact with.

By following these steps, you will be able to serve your models using the web UI. You can open your browser and chat with a model now. If the models do not show up, try to reboot the gradio web server.

(Optional): Advanced Features

  • You can register multiple model workers to a single controller, which can be used for serving a single model with higher throughput or serving multiple models at the same time. When doing so, please allocate different GPUs and ports for different model workers.
# worker 0
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 -m fastchat.serve.model_worker --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3 --controller http://localhost:21001 --port 31000 --worker http://localhost:31000
# worker 1
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 python3 -m fastchat.serve.model_worker --model-path lmsys/fastchat-t5-3b-v1.0 --controller http://localhost:21001 --port 31001 --worker http://localhost:31001
  • You can also launch a multi-tab gradio server, which includes the Chatbot Arena tabs.
python3 -m fastchat.serve.gradio_web_server_multi

API

OpenAI-Compatible RESTful APIs & SDK

FastChat provides OpenAI-compatible APIs for its supported models, so you can use FastChat as a local drop-in replacement for OpenAI APIs. The FastChat server is compatible with both openai-python library and cURL commands. See docs/openai_api.md.

Hugging Face Generation APIs

See fastchat/serve/huggingface_api.py.

LangChain Integration

See docs/langchain_integration.

Evaluation

Our AI-enhanced evaluation pipeline is based on GPT-4. This section provides a high-level summary of the pipeline. For detailed instructions, please refer to the evaluation documentation.

Pipeline Steps

  1. Generate answers from different models: Use qa_baseline_gpt35.py for ChatGPT, or specify the model checkpoint and run get_model_answer.py for Vicuna and other models.

  2. Generate reviews with GPT-4: Use GPT-4 to generate reviews automatically. This step can also be performed manually if the GPT-4 API is not available to you.

  3. Generate visualization data: Run generate_webpage_data_from_table.py to generate data for a static website, which allows you to visualize the evaluation data.

  4. Visualize the data: Serve a static website under the webpage directory. You can use python3 -m http.server to serve the website locally.

Data Format and Contribution

We use a data format encoded with JSON Lines for evaluation. The format includes information on models, prompts, reviewers, questions, answers, and reviews.

You can customize the evaluation process or contribute to our project by accessing the relevant data.

For detailed instructions, please refer to the evaluation documentation.

Fine-tuning

Data

Vicuna is created by fine-tuning a LLaMA base model using approximately 70K user-shared conversations gathered from ShareGPT.com with public APIs. To ensure data quality, we convert the HTML back to markdown and filter out some inappropriate or low-quality samples. Additionally, we divide lengthy conversations into smaller segments that fit the model's maximum context length. For detailed instructions to clean the ShareGPT data, check out here.

Due to some concerns, we may not release the ShareGPT dataset at the moment. If you would like to try the fine-tuning code, you can run it with some dummy conversations in dummy_conversation.json. You can follow the same format and plug in your own data.

Code and Hyperparameters

Our code is based on Stanford Alpaca with additional support for multi-turn conversations. We use similar hyperparameters as the Stanford Alpaca.
