Llama2-70B Demo

How to Run

1. Download the Llama2-70B weights from Meta (https://llama.meta.com/):

2. Repack the weights:

   # This concatenates the sharded checkpoints and makes it easier for us to load.
   python models/demos/t3000/llama2_70b/scripts/repack_weights.py <path_to_checkpoint_dir> <repacked_output_dir> <chunk_size>

   Note: Use 5 for chunk_size.

   Once the weights are repacked, move the params.json file from the checkpoint_dir to the repacked_output_dir.

Running the Demo

After setting up the repacked weights and tokenizer, you can run the demo using the commands below:

1. Prepare the weight cache directory:

   # Make a directory for us to cache weights into. This speeds up subsequent runs.
   mkdir <weight_cache_dir>

2. Set up environment variables:

   export LLAMA2_CKPT_DIR=<repacked_output_dir>
   export LLAMA2_TOKENIZER_PATH=<path_to_checkpoint_dir> # Path needs to include the tokenizer.model file
   export LLAMA2_CACHE_PATH=<weight_cache_dir>
   
   export WH_ARCH_YAML=wormhole_b0_80_arch_eth_dispatch.yaml
   export TIKTOKEN_CACHE_DIR=""
   
   pip install -r models/demos/t3000/llama2_70b/reference/llama/requirements.txt
   
   # Example:
   # export LLAMA2_CKPT_DIR="/home/llama-data-repacked/llama-2-70b/"
   # export LLAMA2_TOKENIZER_PATH="/home/llama-data-repacked/tokenizer.model"
   # export LLAMA2_CACHE_PATH="/home/llama-data-cache/weights-cache"
   
   

3. Run the demo:

   NOTE: Run the following comand twice.

   1. The first run will cache the weights. This will take some time.
   2. The second run will use the cached weights, thereby running much faster.

   # Run the demo using sampling decode
   pytest -svv models/demos/t3000/llama2_70b/demo/demo.py::test_LlamaModel_demo[wormhole_b0-True-check_disabled-sampling-tt-70b-T3000-80L-decode_only-text_completion-llama2]

4. Run the performance test:

   The above demo does not achieve peak performance because we log outputs to the screen. The following perf test will print an accurate end-to-end throughput number. For best performance numbers, we recommend building tt-metal with CONFIG=Release env var, and ensuring the host's CPU frequency governors are set to performance.

Details

• Batch Size: Supports batch size 32.

• Input File: Uses ./demo/data/multi_prompt.json.

• Model Configuration: Utilizes a pretrained model.

• Hardware Requirements: Runs on an 8-chip T3000 machine using tensor parallelism. The host machine must have at least 512 GB of memory.

• Model Functionality:

  • The maximum context length is currently limited to (2k + 128) tokens. Support for 8k context is in testing.
  • The demo can run in decode_only mode in which we use decode mode to consume the context one token at a time, or prefill_decode mode in which we prefill the context and then decode.

• Demo arguments:

  • ground_truth: [check_disabled, check_enabled]: Enable or disable ground truth checking, used for testing
  • sampling: [greedy, sampling]: Select between greedy decoding and top-k/top-p sampling
  • implementation: [tt-70b-T3000]: Run the 70B model on the Tenstorrent backend
  • num_layers: [1L, 2L, 10L, 80L]: Select 80L to run the full model
  • decode_only: [decode_only, prefill_decode]: Use decode_only. Alternately, choose prefill_decode to enable prefill-decode mode
  • chat: [text_completion, chat_completion]: Run in text_completion mode for the pretrained model or chat_completion for the finetuned model
  • llama_version: [llama2]: Select the Llama2 model

Ensure you follow these guidelines to successfully run the Llama2-70B demo.
