To get started with Llama-3 within LocalGPT, follow these steps:

1. Clone the LocalGPT repository by clicking on the "Code" button and copying the URL. Open a terminal, navigate to the desired directory, and run git clone <URL>.

2. Create a dedicated folder for the Llama-3 model, e.g., local-gpt-llama3.

3. Change to the newly created directory using cd local-gpt-llama3.

4. Create a virtual environment using conda create -n local-three python=3.10 and activate it with conda activate local-three.

5. Install the required packages by running pip install -r requirements.txt. This will download all the necessary packages, except for the Llama CPP package.

6. Depending on your hardware (Nvidia GPU or Apple Silicon), install the appropriate Llama CPP package using the provided commands.

7. Open the project in Visual Studio Code and activate the virtual environment in the terminal.

8. Modify the constants.py file to specify the model you want to use. For the unquantized Llama-3 model from Meta, provide the model ID and keep the base name as None.

9. If you're using the gated Llama-3 model from Meta, you'll need to log in to your Hugging Face account using the Hugging Face CLI. Follow the instructions to obtain an access token and log in.

10. Run the ingest.py script to ingest the example document provided with LocalGPT.

11. Start the chat session by running python run_local_gpt.py. The model will load, and you can begin asking questions related to the ingested document.

12. Explore the prompt template options in the prompt_template_utils.py file and customize the prompts as needed.

That's it! You're now ready to use Llama-3 within the LocalGPT environment. Enjoy your secure, private, and local language model experience.

First, we need to clone the repository. Click on the "Code" button and copy the URL. Then, open a terminal and type the following command to clone the repository:

git clone <repository_url>

Next, we'll create a dedicated folder for the Lama 3 model. You can name it "local-gpt" or something similar:

mkdir local-gpt
cd local-gpt

Now, we need to create a virtual environment to manage the project's dependencies. We'll be using conda for this:

conda create -n local-3 python=3.10

This will create a new virtual environment named "local-3" with Python 3.10.

To activate the virtual environment, run:

conda activate local-3

You should now see the name of the virtual environment in your terminal prompt, indicating that it's active.

Next, we need to install the required packages. We can do this by running:

pip install -r requirements.txt

This will install all the necessary packages, except for the Lama CPP package. Depending on whether you're using an Nvidia GPU or Apple Silicon, you'll need to run a different command to install Lama CPP:

For Nvidia GPU:

pip install git+https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp.git

For Apple Silicon:

pip install git+https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp.git@apple

Once the installation is complete, you're ready to start using the local GPT project with the Lama 3 model.

To get started with Lama 3 within Local GPT, we first need to install the required packages. Here's how you can do it:

1. Clone the Local GPT repository by clicking on the "Code" button and copying the URL. Then, open a terminal and run the following command to clone the repository:

   git clone <repository_url>
   

2. Create a dedicated folder for the Lama 3 model by changing into the cloned directory and creating a new folder:

   cd local-gpt
   mkdir lama3
   cd lama3
   

3. Create a virtual environment using conda and install the required packages:

   conda create -n lama3 python=3.10
   conda activate lama3
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Depending on whether you're using an Nvidia GPU or Apple Silicon, install the appropriate Lama CPP package:

   • For Nvidia GPU:

     pip install git+https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp.git
     

   • For Apple Silicon:

     pip install git+https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp.git@apple
     

5. Once the installation is complete, you're ready to start using Lama 3 within Local GPT.

To configure the Llama-3 model within the local GPT project, follow these steps:

1. Open the constants.py file and locate the model_id and model_base_name variables.
2. If you are using an unquantized model, simply provide the model ID, which is the address of the Hugging Face repository. For example, if you want to use the Llama-38B model, the model ID would be "decapoda-research/llama-38b-hf".
3. If you want to use a quantized model, you will also need to provide the .ggf file name for the specific quantization level you want to use. For example, "decapoda-research/llama-38b-hf-quantized-ggml-q4_0.ggf".
4. If you are using the Meta version of the Llama-3 model, you will need to log in to your Hugging Face Hub account. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

   hugging-face-cli login
   

   Then, provide your Hugging Face access token when prompted.
5. Once you have configured the model, you can proceed to ingest your files and start chatting with the model using the local GPT project.

To ingest files and prepare the knowledge base for local GPT, follow these steps:

1. Activate the virtual environment created earlier:

   conda activate local_3
   

2. Run the ingest.py script to ingest the files:

   python ingest.py
   

   This will start the ingestion process and split the documents into chunks. By default, it uses the instructor-large embedding model, but you can change the model by modifying the constants.py file.

3. If you're using a gated model like the Meta Lama 3 model, you'll need to log in to your Hugging Face account using the Hugging Face CLI:

   hugging-face-cli login
   

   Provide your Hugging Face access token when prompted.

4. Once the ingestion is complete, you can start chatting with the documents by running the run_local_gpt.py script:

   python run_local_gpt.py
   

   This will load the model and allow you to interact with the knowledge base.

5. If you want to use a different prompt template, you can modify the prompt_template_utils.py file. The available prompt templates are listed in the run_local_gpt.py file.

That's it! You're now ready to use local GPT with the Lama 3 model and your ingested documents.

To start chatting with the document using LocalGPT, follow these steps:

1. Activate the virtual environment you created earlier:

   conda activate local_3
   

2. Run the python run_local_gpt.py command to start the chat interface. This will load the model and prepare the document for interaction.

3. Once the model is loaded, you can start asking questions related to the document. For example, you can ask "What is instruction tuning?" to get information about that topic from the provided context.

4. The model will generate responses based on the content of the document. The responses will be concise and directly address the question asked.

5. You can continue asking various questions to explore the document's content and get insights from the LocalGPT interface.

Remember, all the processing happens locally on your machine, ensuring the privacy and security of your data.

Local GPT is constantly evolving, and the project maintainers are working on several exciting new features and improvements. Some of the key upcoming advancements include:
