How to convert ChatRWKV to Web API and talk to it from Web chat UIChat UI

#python #chatrwkv #javascript

Summary

(This article has been translated from Japanese)

Chat UI displayed in a web browser allows you to talk to ChatRWKV.

ChatRWKV is an open source program that aims to work similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT and works quite comfortably on a local PC.

I made it into a chat engine and used the chat UI library chatux to call it, and here are its contents.

↓Now you can chat with ChatRWKV like this!

The full source code is here
https://github.com/riversun/chatux-server-rwkv

Target

  • The code in this article assumes a GPU (CUDA) environment.
    • As described later, if you use smaller trained data, it works well on older GPUs.
      • For example, using [rwkv-4-pile-3b]

(https://huggingface.co/BlinkDL/rwkv-4-pile-3b) as trained data with fp16i8 worked on GeForce RTX 2060 (6GB memory).

Environment

We tested the following environment

  • Python: 3.9
  • GPU CUDA Version: 12
  • GPU memory: 24GB
  • OS: Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 / Windows 11

Main part

STEP0: Operation to serverize ChatRWKV

  • Since chatux will be used as a front-end chat UI, we want to serverize ChatRWKV.

  • We want to make it as easy as possible, so modify chat.py under the v2 directory of the ChatRWKV repository below to make it a server.

https://github.com/BlinkDL/ChatRWKV/blob/main/v2/chat.py

STEP1: Install related packages

Install related packages (*)

pip install rwkv fastapi uvicorn
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

(This assumes that you already have pytorch for CUDA running. If you get runtime errors, install the missing packages as needed)

STEP2: Edit chat.py to make it a chat server

Let's modify the previous chat.py into a server

There are 2 points in making a chat server

1. Convert to Web API

  • Use a package called fastapi to turn it into a Web API server
  • Use a package called uvicorn to start a web api server made with fastapi
    • Accept input with path chat_api with

@app.get("/chat_api") annotation
- Next, throw the input text from the user to the rnn model of ChatRWKV with reply = handle_message(text).replace('\n', '<br>') as follows
- Return the results from the rnn model packed in outJson. only this :)

@app.get("/chat_api")
async def chat(text: str = ""):
    reply = handle_message(text).replace('\n', '<br>')
    print(f'input:{text} reply:{reply}')

    outJson = {
        "output": [
            {
                "type": "text",
                "value": reply
            }
        ]
    }
    return outJson;


app.mount("/", StaticFiles(directory="html", html=True), name="html")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2. Handling of rnn model generation results

  • The command line version of chat used to output chat response generation results to the console one by one, but in the case of the web chat version (the current chatux archipelago) it does not support sequential output, so sentence generation by the model ended for the time being. Made it possible to respond in stages
    • Return send_msg = pipeline.decode(model_tokens[begin:]).strip() part as response
    • It is better to return the reply from the rnn model one by one because it is easier to read the results, so the architecture that can realize this is a homework on the chatux side

3. + command processing

  • I tried to pass +gen, +i, +qa, etc., but the response from the model is returned unprocessed, so if you use these commands, it will be strange It may become. Also, free generation is long, so you may have to wait.

Below is the full source code of the chat server

STEP3: Obtain trained model data (weights)

The code is completed, but we do not yet have the trained weights, so we download them from the ChatRWKV author's page on Hugging Face.

There are several types of model data: 3b, 7b, 14b, etc. The higher the number, the more parameters you have, the more expressive your model is.

However, the higher the number of parameters, the more GPU memory is consumed, so download the data according to the execution environment.

Below is a table of typical model data types and GPU memory consumption

strategy rwkv-4-pile-14b rwkv-4-pile-7b rwkv-4-pile-3b
fp16 28GB 16GB 6GB
fp16i8 14GB 8.6GB 3GB

By the way, if you use fp16i8 (which seems to mean quantize fp16 trained data to int8), you can reduce the amount of GPU memory used, although the accuracy may be slightly lower.

(When specifying it in the code, use cuda fp16 or cuda fp16i8.

Download the weight data (*.pth) file from

Get BlinkDL/rwkv-4-pile-14b.

BlinkDL/rwkv-4-pile-14b

  • Download

  • GPU memory consumption

    • About 28GB (fp16) ... Out of memory even on a 24GB class GPU
    • About 14GB(fp16i8) ... Accuracy is said to be a little degraded, but it works on T4.

  • Parameters

Place the downloaded files in the [project]/data folder

If this doesn't ring a bell, refer to the folder structure at the bottom of this page.
https://github.com/riversun/chatux-server-rwkv

STEP4: Set the learned model data (weights) in the code

Open the chatux-server-rwkv.py file you just created.

  • In the #specify RWKV strategy,model(weight data) area, enter STRATEGY= and MODEL_NAME as shown below. The MODEL_NAME is just the file name.
  • Around # specify params for weight data, enter the parameters for the trained model data. ↑(You can copy and paste the ones shown in the above. 
# specify RWKV strategy,model(weight data)
STRATEGY = 'cuda fp16i8'
MODEL_NAME = 'RWKV-4-Pile-7B-20230109-ctx4096.pth'

# specify params for weight data
args.n_layer = 32

args.ctx_len = 4096
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

STEP5: Place other files

5-1 Create ChatUI (HTML)

Prepare index.html as follows and save it as [project]/html/index.html.

chatux loads chatux.min.js.

Now you will see the chat UI in a small window on the right edge for PCs, or on the full screen for smartphones, and you can chat.

5-2 Putting the initial prompt

Create a folder [project]/init_prompt and place the initial prompt (the first conversation context prompt) there.

The initial prompt is specified in the source code at PROMPT_FILE = f'{current_path}/init_prompt/English-1.py'.

Here, we put https://github.com/BlinkDL/ChatRWKV/blob/main/v2/prompt/default/English-1.py.

Incidentally, if you want to make it Japanese-inspired, you can put the initial prompt in Japanese.

https://github.com/riversun/chatux-server-rwkv/blob/main/init_prompt/Japanese-2.py

5-3 Putting tokenizer.json

Place https://github.com/BlinkDL/ChatRWKV/blob/main/v2/20B_tokenizer.json as [project]/20B_tokenizer.json.

STEP6: Start the chat server

You can start the chat server with the following command

python chatux-server-rwkv.py
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

STEP7: Execution

Once the server is started, open http://localhost:8001 in your browser.

Now you can hit ChatRWKV from the web chat UI (ChatUX)!

ChatRWKV does a good job.

As you can see in the video below, I asked him the following questions and he responded nicely.

The Tallest Mountain in the World."
Who was the lead actor on Titanic?"
Other films made by the director of Titanic"

Summary

  • I explained how to make ChatRWKV conversational with Web Chat UI

    • FastAPI is used to convert to Web API
    • Sequential messages returned by the rnn model are summarized before being responded to.
    • ToBe
      • ChatUX should have sequential callbacks like ChatGPT and ChatRWKV
      • Better response for free generation
      • Engine is classified
      • On-memory conversation context (status to be passed to rnn) is persistent

  • Here is a sample code that has been tested

Thank you for reading to the end!
