Using Exllama backend requires all the modules to be on GPU - how?

Open tigerinus opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I'm sorry I am unable to find relevant doc on Internet on how to load all modules on GPU.

I got this error message from my code:

Found modules on cpu/disk. Using Exllama backend requires all the modules to be on GPU.You can deactivate exllama backend by setting disable_exllama=True in the quantization config object

A snippet from my code (to make it work, I had to uncomment the config part, but it won't be using Exllama)

    MODEL_ID = "TheBloke/Llama-2-13b-Chat-GPTQ"
    tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)

    # config = AutoConfig.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)
    # config.quantization_config["disable_exllama"] = True

    model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
        MODEL_ID,
        # config=config,
    )

Any help is greatly appreciated!

ExLlama is a standalone implementation that doesn't interface with Transformers, but AutoGPTQ ported the kernels over to get some of the performance benefits for Transformers anyway. You're probably better off asking over there what's required for Transformers to load a model in a way that's compatible with the way they integrated the ExLlama kernels.
