🦙 Python Bindings for llama.cpp

Documentation Status Tests PyPI PyPI - Python Version PyPI - License PyPI - Downloads

Simple Python bindings for @ggerganov's llama.cpp library. This package provides:

Documentation is available at https://llama-cpp-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest.

Installation

Requirements:

  • Python 3.8+
  • C compiler
    • Linux: gcc or clang
    • Windows: Visual Studio or MinGW
    • MacOS: Xcode

To install the package, run:

pip install llama-cpp-python

This will also build llama.cpp from source and install it alongside this python package.

If this fails, add --verbose to the pip install see the full cmake build log.

Installation Configuration

llama.cpp supports a number of hardware acceleration backends to speed up inference as well as backend specific options. See the llama.cpp README for a full list.

All llama.cpp cmake build options can be set via the CMAKE_ARGS environment variable or via the --config-settings / -C cli flag during installation.

Environment Variables
# Linux and Mac
CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_BLAS=ON -DLLAMA_BLAS_VENDOR=OpenBLAS" \
  pip install llama-cpp-python
# Windows
$env:CMAKE_ARGS = "-DLLAMA_BLAS=ON -DLLAMA_BLAS_VENDOR=OpenBLAS"
pip install llama-cpp-python
CLI / requirements.txt

They can also be set via pip install -C / --config-settings command and saved to a requirements.txt file:

pip install --upgrade pip # ensure pip is up to date
pip install llama-cpp-python \
  -C cmake.args="-DLLAMA_BLAS=ON;-DLLAMA_BLAS_VENDOR=OpenBLAS"
# requirements.txt

llama-cpp-python -C cmake.args="-DLLAMA_BLAS=ON;-DLLAMA_BLAS_VENDOR=OpenBLAS"

Supported Backends

Below are some common backends, their build commands and any additional environment variables required.

OpenBLAS (CPU)

To install with OpenBLAS, set the LLAMA_BLAS and LLAMA_BLAS_VENDOR environment variables before installing:

CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_BLAS=ON -DLLAMA_BLAS_VENDOR=OpenBLAS" pip install llama-cpp-python
cuBLAS (CUDA)

To install with cuBLAS, set the LLAMA_CUBLAS=on environment variable before installing:

CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_CUBLAS=on" pip install llama-cpp-python
Metal

To install with Metal (MPS), set the LLAMA_METAL=on environment variable before installing:

CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_METAL=on" pip install llama-cpp-python
CLBlast (OpenCL)

To install with CLBlast, set the LLAMA_CLBLAST=on environment variable before installing:

CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_CLBLAST=on" pip install llama-cpp-python
hipBLAS (ROCm)

To install with hipBLAS / ROCm support for AMD cards, set the LLAMA_HIPBLAS=on environment variable before installing:

CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_HIPBLAS=on" pip install llama-cpp-python
Vulkan

To install with Vulkan support, set the LLAMA_VULKAN=on environment variable before installing:

CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_VULKAN=on" pip install llama-cpp-python
Kompute

To install with Kompute support, set the LLAMA_KOMPUTE=on environment variable before installing:

CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_KOMPUTE=on" pip install llama-cpp-python
SYCL

To install with SYCL support, set the LLAMA_SYCL=on environment variable before installing:

source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh   
CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_SYCL=on -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icpx" pip install llama-cpp-python

Windows Notes

Error: Can't find 'nmake' or 'CMAKE_C_COMPILER'

If you run into issues where it complains it can't find 'nmake' '?' or CMAKE_C_COMPILER, you can extract w64devkit as mentioned in llama.cpp repo and add those manually to CMAKE_ARGS before running pip install:

$env:CMAKE_GENERATOR = "MinGW Makefiles"
$env:CMAKE_ARGS = "-DLLAMA_OPENBLAS=on -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=C:/w64devkit/bin/gcc.exe -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=C:/w64devkit/bin/g++.exe"

See the above instructions and set CMAKE_ARGS to the BLAS backend you want to use.

MacOS Notes

Detailed MacOS Metal GPU install documentation is available at docs/install/macos.md

M1 Mac Performance Issue

Note: If you are using Apple Silicon (M1) Mac, make sure you have installed a version of Python that supports arm64 architecture. For example:

wget https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-MacOSX-arm64.sh
bash Miniforge3-MacOSX-arm64.sh

Otherwise, while installing it will build the llama.cpp x86 version which will be 10x slower on Apple Silicon (M1) Mac.

M Series Mac Error: `(mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64'))`

Try installing with

CMAKE_ARGS="-DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=arm64 -DCMAKE_APPLE_SILICON_PROCESSOR=arm64 -DLLAMA_METAL=on" pip install --upgrade --verbose --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir llama-cpp-python

Upgrading and Reinstalling

To upgrade and rebuild llama-cpp-python add --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir flags to the pip install command to ensure the package is rebuilt from source.

High-level API

API Reference

The high-level API provides a simple managed interface through the Llama class.

Below is a short example demonstrating how to use the high-level API to for basic text completion:

>>> from llama_cpp import Llama
>>> llm = Llama(
      model_path="./models/7B/llama-model.gguf",
      # n_gpu_layers=-1, # Uncomment to use GPU acceleration
      # seed=1337, # Uncomment to set a specific seed
      # n_ctx=2048, # Uncomment to increase the context window
)
>>> output = llm(
      "Q: Name the planets in the solar system? A: ", # Prompt
      max_tokens=32, # Generate up to 32 tokens, set to None to generate up to the end of the context window
      stop=["Q:", "\n"], # Stop generating just before the model would generate a new question
      echo=True # Echo the prompt back in the output
) # Generate a completion, can also call create_completion
>>> print(output)
{
  "id": "cmpl-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "object": "text_completion",
  "created": 1679561337,
  "model": "./models/7B/llama-model.gguf",
  "choices": [
    {
      "text": "Q: Name the planets in the solar system? A: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.",
      "index": 0,
      "logprobs": None,
      "finish_reason": "stop"
    }
  ],
  "usage": {
    "prompt_tokens": 14,
    "completion_tokens": 28,
    "total_tokens": 42
  }
}

Text completion is available through the __call__ and create_completion methods of the Llama class.

Pulling models from Hugging Face Hub

You can download Llama models in gguf format directly from Hugging Face using the from_pretrained method. You'll need to install the huggingface-hub package to use this feature (pip install huggingface-hub).

llm = Llama.from_pretrained(
    repo_id="Qwen/Qwen1.5-0.5B-Chat-GGUF",
    filename="*q8_0.gguf",
    verbose=False
)

By default from_pretrained will download the model to the huggingface cache directory, you can then manage installed model files with the huggingface-cli tool.

Chat Completion

The high-level API also provides a simple interface for chat completion.

Note that chat_format option must be set for the particular model you are using.

>>> from llama_cpp import Llama
>>> llm = Llama(
      model_path="path/to/llama-2/llama-model.gguf",
      chat_format="llama-2"
)
>>> llm.create_chat_completion(
      messages = [
          {"role": "system", "content": "You are an assistant who perfectly describes images."},
          {
              "role": "user",
              "content": "Describe this image in detail please."
          }
      ]
)

Chat completion is available through the create_chat_completion method of the Llama class.

For OpenAI API v1 compatibility, you use the create_chat_completion_openai_v1 method which will return pydantic models instead of dicts.

JSON and JSON Schema Mode

To constrain chat responses to only valid JSON or a specific JSON Schema use the response_format argument in create_chat_completion.

JSON Mode

The following example will constrain the response to valid JSON strings only.

>>> from llama_cpp import Llama
>>> llm = Llama(model_path="path/to/model.gguf", chat_format="chatml")
>>> llm.create_chat_completion(
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "system",
            "content": "You are a helpful assistant that outputs in JSON.",
        },
        {"role": "user", "content": "Who won the world series in 2020"},
    ],
    response_format={
        "type": "json_object",
    },
    temperature=0.7,
)

JSON Schema Mode

To constrain the response further to a specific JSON Schema add the schema to the schema property of the response_format argument.

>>> from llama_cpp import Llama
>>> llm = Llama(model_path="path/to/model.gguf", chat_format="chatml")
>>> llm.create_chat_completion(
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "system",
            "content": "You are a helpful assistant that outputs in JSON.",
        },
        {"role": "user", "content": "Who won the world series in 2020"},
    ],
    response_format={
        "type": "json_object",
        "schema": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {"team_name": {"type": "string"}},
            "required": ["team_name"],
        },
    },
    temperature=0.7,
)

Function Calling

The high-level API also provides a simple interface for function calling. This is possible through the functionary pre-trained models chat format or through the generic chatml-function-calling chat format.

The gguf-converted files for functionary can be found here: functionary-7b-v1

>>> from llama_cpp import Llama
>>> llm = Llama(model_path="path/to/functionary/llama-model.gguf", chat_format="functionary")
>>> # or 
>>> llm = Llama(model_path="path/to/chatml/llama-model.gguf", chat_format="chatml-function-calling")
>>> llm.create_chat_completion(
      messages = [
        {
          "role": "system",
          "content": "A chat between a curious user and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the user's questions. The assistant calls functions with appropriate input when necessary"

        },
        {
          "role": "user",
          "content": "Extract Jason is 25 years old"
        }
      ],
      tools=[{
        "type": "function",
        "function": {
          "name": "UserDetail",
          "parameters": {
            "type": "object",
            "title": "UserDetail",
            "properties": {
              "name": {
                "title": "Name",
                "type": "string"
              },
              "age": {
                "title": "Age",
                "type": "integer"
              }
            },
            "required": [ "name", "age" ]
          }
        }
      }],
      tool_choice=[{
        "type": "function",
        "function": {
          "name": "UserDetail"
        }
      }]
)

Multi-modal Models

llama-cpp-python supports the llava1.5 family of multi-modal models which allow the language model to read information from both text and images.

You'll first need to download one of the available multi-modal models in GGUF format:

Then you'll need to use a custom chat handler to load the clip model and process the chat messages and images.

>>> from llama_cpp import Llama
>>> from llama_cpp.llama_chat_format import Llava15ChatHandler
>>> chat_handler = Llava15ChatHandler(clip_model_path="path/to/llava/mmproj.bin")
>>> llm = Llama(
  model_path="./path/to/llava/llama-model.gguf",
  chat_handler=chat_handler,
  n_ctx=2048, # n_ctx should be increased to accomodate the image embedding
  logits_all=True,# needed to make llava work
)
>>> llm.create_chat_completion(
    messages = [
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are an assistant who perfectly describes images."},
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://.../image.png"}},
                {"type" : "text", "text": "Describe this image in detail please."}
            ]
        }
    ]
)

Speculative Decoding

llama-cpp-python supports speculative decoding which allows the model to generate completions based on a draft model.

The fastest way to use speculative decoding is through the LlamaPromptLookupDecoding class.

Just pass this as a draft model to the Llama class during initialization.

from llama_cpp import Llama
from llama_cpp.llama_speculative import LlamaPromptLookupDecoding

llama = Llama(
    model_path="path/to/model.gguf",
    draft_model=LlamaPromptLookupDecoding(num_pred_tokens=10) # num_pred_tokens is the number of tokens to predict 10 is the default and generally good for gpu, 2 performs better for cpu-only machines.
)

Embeddings

To generate text embeddings use create_embedding.

import llama_cpp

llm = llama_cpp.Llama(model_path="path/to/model.gguf", embeddings=True)

embeddings = llm.create_embedding("Hello, world!")

# or create multiple embeddings at once

embeddings = llm.create_embedding(["Hello, world!", "Goodbye, world!"])

Adjusting the Context Window

The context window of the Llama models determines the maximum number of tokens that can be processed at once. By default, this is set to 512 tokens, but can be adjusted based on your requirements.

For instance, if you want to work with larger contexts, you can expand the context window by setting the n_ctx parameter when initializing the Llama object:

llm = Llama(model_path="./models/7B/llama-model.gguf", n_ctx=2048)

OpenAI Compatible Web Server

llama-cpp-python offers a web server which aims to act as a drop-in replacement for the OpenAI API. This allows you to use llama.cpp compatible models with any OpenAI compatible client (language libraries, services, etc).

To install the server package and get started:

pip install llama-cpp-python[server]
python3 -m llama_cpp.server --model models/7B/llama-model.gguf

Similar to Hardware Acceleration section above, you can also install with GPU (cuBLAS) support like this:

CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_CUBLAS=on" FORCE_CMAKE=1 pip install llama-cpp-python[server]
python3 -m llama_cpp.server --model models/7B/llama-model.gguf --n_gpu_layers 35

Navigate to http://localhost:8000/docs to see the OpenAPI documentation.

To bind to 0.0.0.0 to enable remote connections, use python3 -m llama_cpp.server --host 0.0.0.0. Similarly, to change the port (default is 8000), use --port.

You probably also want to set the prompt format. For chatml, use

python3 -m llama_cpp.server --model models/7B/llama-model.gguf --chat_format chatml

That will format the prompt according to how model expects it. You can find the prompt format in the model card. For possible options, see llama_cpp/llama_chat_format.py and look for lines starting with "@register_chat_format".

Web Server Features

Docker image

A Docker image is available on GHCR. To run the server:

docker run --rm -it -p 8000:8000 -v /path/to/models:/models -e MODEL=/models/llama-model.gguf ghcr.io/abetlen/llama-cpp-python:latest

Docker on termux (requires root) is currently the only known way to run this on phones, see termux support issue

Low-level API

API Reference

The low-level API is a direct ctypes binding to the C API provided by llama.cpp. The entire low-level API can be found in llama_cpp/llama_cpp.py and directly mirrors the C API in llama.h.

Below is a short example demonstrating how to use the low-level API to tokenize a prompt:

>>> import llama_cpp
>>> import ctypes
>>> llama_cpp.llama_backend_init(False) # Must be called once at the start of each program
>>> params = llama_cpp.llama_context_default_params()
# use bytes for char * params
>>> model = llama_cpp.llama_load_model_from_file(b"./models/7b/llama-model.gguf", params)
>>> ctx = llama_cpp.llama_new_context_with_model(model, params)
>>> max_tokens = params.n_ctx
# use ctypes arrays for array params
>>> tokens = (llama_cpp.llama_token * int(max_tokens))()
>>> n_tokens = llama_cpp.llama_tokenize(ctx, b"Q: Name the planets in the solar system? A: ", tokens, max_tokens, llama_cpp.c_bool(True))
>>> llama_cpp.llama_free(ctx)

Check out the examples folder for more examples of using the low-level API.

Documentation

Documentation is available via https://llama-cpp-python.readthedocs.io/. If you find any issues with the documentation, please open an issue or submit a PR.

Development

This package is under active development and I welcome any contributions.

To get started, clone the repository and install the package in editable / development mode:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python.git
cd llama-cpp-python

# Upgrade pip (required for editable mode)
pip install --upgrade pip

# Install with pip
pip install -e .

# if you want to use the fastapi / openapi server
pip install -e .[server]

# to install all optional dependencies
pip install -e .[all]

# to clear the local build cache
make clean

You can also test out specific commits of lama.cpp by checking out the desired commit in the vendor/llama.cpp submodule and then running make clean and pip install -e . again. Any changes in the llama.h API will require changes to the llama_cpp/llama_cpp.py file to match the new API (additional changes may be required elsewhere).

FAQ

Are there pre-built binaries / binary wheels available?

The recommended installation method is to install from source as described above. The reason for this is that llama.cpp is built with compiler optimizations that are specific to your system. Using pre-built binaries would require disabling these optimizations or supporting a large number of pre-built binaries for each platform.

That being said there are some pre-built binaries available through the Releases as well as some community provided wheels.

In the future, I would like to provide pre-built binaries and wheels for common platforms and I'm happy to accept any useful contributions in this area. This is currently being tracked in #741

How does this compare to other Python bindings of llama.cpp?

I originally wrote this package for my own use with two goals in mind:

  • Provide a simple process to install llama.cpp and access the full C API in llama.h from Python
  • Provide a high-level Python API that can be used as a drop-in replacement for the OpenAI API so existing apps can be easily ported to use llama.cpp

Any contributions and changes to this package will be made with these goals in mind.
