First, install the airllm pip package.
pip install airllmThen, initialize AirLLMLlama2, pass in the huggingface repo ID of the model being used, or the local path, and inference can be performed similar to a regular transformer model.
(You can also specify the path to save the splitted layered model through layer_shards_saving_path when init AirLLMLlama2.
from airllm import AutoModel
MAX_LENGTH = 128
# could use hugging face model repo id:
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("garage-bAInd/Platypus2-70B-instruct")
# or use model's local path...
#model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("/home/ubuntu/.cache/huggingface/hub/models--garage-bAInd--Platypus2-70B-instruct/snapshots/b585e74bcaae02e52665d9ac6d23f4d0dbc81a0f")
input_text = [
'What is the capital of United States?',
#'I like',
]
input_tokens = model.tokenizer(input_text,
return_tensors="pt",
return_attention_mask=False,
truncation=True,
max_length=MAX_LENGTH,
padding=False)
generation_output = model.generate(
input_tokens['input_ids'].cuda(),
max_new_tokens=20,
use_cache=True,
return_dict_in_generate=True)
output = model.tokenizer.decode(generation_output.sequences[0])
print(output)Note: During inference, the original model will first be decomposed and saved layer-wise. Please ensure there is sufficient disk space in the huggingface cache directory.
We just added model compression based on block-wise quantization-based model compression. Which can further speed up the inference speed for up to 3x , with almost ignorable accuracy loss! (see more performance evaluation and why we use block-wise quantization in this paper)
- Step 1. make sure you have bitsandbytes installed by
pip install -U bitsandbytes - Step 2. make sure airllm verion later than 2.0.0:
pip install -U airllm - Step 3. when initialize the model, passing the argument compression ('4bit' or '8bit'):
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("garage-bAInd/Platypus2-70B-instruct",
compression='4bit' # specify '8bit' for 8-bit block-wise quantization
)Quantization normally needs to quantize both weights and activations to really speed things up. Which makes it harder to maintain accuracy and avoid the impact of outliers in all kinds of inputs.
While in our case the bottleneck is mainly at the disk loading, we only need to make the model loading size smaller. So, we get to only quantize the weights' part, which is easier to ensure the accuracy.
When initialize the model, we support the following configurations:
- compression: supported options: 4bit, 8bit for 4-bit or 8-bit block-wise quantization, or by default None for no compression
- profiling_mode: supported options: True to output time consumptions or by default False
- layer_shards_saving_path: optionally another path to save the splitted model
- hf_token: huggingface token can be provided here if downloading gated models like: meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf
- prefetching: prefetching to overlap the model loading and compute. By default, turned on. For now, only AirLLMLlama2 supports this.
- delete_original: if you don't have too much disk space, you can set delete_original to true to delete the original downloaded hugging face model, only keep the transformed one to save half of the disk space.
Just install airllm and run the code the same as on linux. See more in Quick Start.
- make sure you installed mlx and torch
- you probably need to install python native see more here
- only Apple silicon is supported

Example colabs here:
- ChatGLM:
from airllm import AutoModel

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("THUDM/chatglm3-6b-base")
input_text = ['What is the capital of China?',]
input_tokens = model.tokenizer(input_text,

model.tokenizer.decode(generation_output.sequences[0])- Baichuan, InternLM, Mistral, etc:
from airllm import AutoModel
MAX_LENGTH = 128
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("baichuan-inc/Baichuan2-7B-Base")
#model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("internlm/internlm-20b")

return_attention_mask=False,
truncation=True,
max_length=MAX_LENGTH)
generation_output = model.generate(
input_tokens['input_ids'].cuda(),
max_new_tokens=5,
use_cache=True,
return_dict_in_generate=True)
model.tokenizer.decode(generation_output.sequences[0])To request other model support: here
A lot of the code are based on SimJeg's great work in the Kaggle exam competition. Big shoutout to SimJeg:
GitHub account @SimJeg, the code on Kaggle, the associated discussion.
safetensors_rust.SafetensorError: Error while deserializing header: MetadataIncompleteBuffer
If you run into this error, most possible cause is you run out of disk space. The process of splitting model is very disk-consuming. See this. You may need to extend your disk space, clear huggingface .cache and rerun.
Most likely you are loading QWen or ChatGLM model with Llama2 class. Try the following:
For QWen model:
from airllm import AutoModel #<----- instead of AirLLMLlama2
AutoModel.from_pretrained(...)For ChatGLM model:
from airllm import AutoModel #<----- instead of AirLLMLlama2
AutoModel.from_pretrained(...)Some models are gated models, needs huggingface api token. You can provide hf_token:
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf", #hf_token='HF_API_TOKEN')Some model's tokenizer doesn't have padding token, so you can set a padding token or simply turn the padding config off:
input_tokens = model.tokenizer(input_text,
return_tensors="pt",
return_attention_mask=False,
truncation=True,
max_length=MAX_LENGTH,
padding=False #<----------- turn off padding
