Getting Started

Preparation

Clone the ChatGLM.cpp repository into your local machine:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/li-plus/chatglm.cpp.git && cd chatglm.cpp

If you forgot the --recursive flag when cloning the repository, run the following command in the chatglm.cpp folder:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Quantize Model

Install necessary packages for loading and quantizing Hugging Face models:

python3 -m pip install -U pip
python3 -m pip install torch tabulate tqdm transformers accelerate sentencepiece

Use convert.py to transform ChatGLM-6B into quantized GGML format. For example, to convert the fp16 original model to q4_0 (quantized int4) GGML model, run:

python3 chatglm_cpp/convert.py -i THUDM/chatglm-6b -t q4_0 -o models/chatglm-ggml.bin

The original model (-i <model_name_or_path>) can be a Hugging Face model name or a local path to your pre-downloaded model. Currently supported models are:

• ChatGLM-6B: THUDM/chatglm-6b, THUDM/chatglm-6b-int8, THUDM/chatglm-6b-int4
• ChatGLM2-6B: THUDM/chatglm2-6b, THUDM/chatglm2-6b-int4, THUDM/chatglm2-6b-32k, THUDM/chatglm2-6b-32k-int4
• ChatGLM3-6B: THUDM/chatglm3-6b, THUDM/chatglm3-6b-32k, THUDM/chatglm3-6b-128k, THUDM/chatglm3-6b-base
• ChatGLM4(V)-9B: THUDM/glm-4-9b-chat, THUDM/glm-4-9b-chat-1m, THUDM/glm-4-9b, THUDM/glm-4v-9b
• CodeGeeX2: THUDM/codegeex2-6b, THUDM/codegeex2-6b-int4

You are free to try any of the below quantization types by specifying -t <type>:

type precision symmetric q4_0 int4 true q4_1 int4 false q5_0 int5 true q5_1 int5 false q8_0 int8 true f16 half f32 float

For LoRA models, add -l <lora_model_name_or_path> flag to merge your LoRA weights into the base model. For example, run python3 chatglm_cpp/convert.py -i THUDM/chatglm3-6b -t q4_0 -o models/chatglm3-ggml-lora.bin -l shibing624/chatglm3-6b-csc-chinese-lora to merge public LoRA weights from Hugging Face.

For P-Tuning v2 models using the official finetuning script, additional weights are automatically detected by convert.py. If past_key_values is on the output weight list, the P-Tuning checkpoint is successfully converted.

Build & Run

Compile the project using CMake:

cmake -B build
cmake --build build -j --config Release

Now you may chat with the quantized ChatGLM-6B model by running:

./build/bin/main -m models/chatglm-ggml.bin -p 你好
# 你好！我是人工智能助手 ChatGLM-6B，很高兴见到你，欢迎问我任何问题。

To run the model in interactive mode, add the -i flag. For example:

./build/bin/main -m models/chatglm-ggml.bin -i

In interactive mode, your chat history will serve as the context for the next-round conversation.

Run ./build/bin/main -h to explore more options!

ChatGLM4-9B

Chat mode:

python3 chatglm_cpp/convert.py -i THUDM/glm-4-9b-chat -t q4_0 -o models/chatglm4-ggml.bin
./build/bin/main -m models/chatglm4-ggml.bin -p 你好 --top_p 0.8 --temp 0.8
# 你好！有什么可以帮助你的吗？

ChatGLM4V-9B You may use `-vt ` to set quantization type for the vision encoder. It is recommended to run GLM4V on GPU since vision encoding runs too slow on CPU even with 4-bit quantization. ```sh python3 chatglm_cpp/convert.py -i THUDM/glm-4v-9b -t q4_0 -vt q4_0 -o models/chatglm4v-ggml.bin ./build/bin/main -m models/chatglm4v-ggml.bin --image examples/03-Confusing-Pictures.jpg -p "这张图片有什么不寻常的地方" --temp 0 # 这张图片中不寻常的地方在于，男子正在一辆黄色出租车后面熨衣服。通常情况下，熨衣是在家中或洗衣店进行的，而不是在车辆上。此外，出租车在行驶中，男子却能够稳定地熨衣，这增加了场景的荒诞感。 ``` CodeGeeX2

$ python3 chatglm_cpp/convert.py -i THUDM/codegeex2-6b -t q4_0 -o models/codegeex2-ggml.bin
$ ./build/bin/main -m models/codegeex2-ggml.bin --temp 0 --mode generate -p "\
# language: Python
# write a bubble sort function
"

def bubble_sort(lst):
    for i in range(len(lst) - 1):
        for j in range(len(lst) - 1 - i):
            if lst[j] > lst[j + 1]:
                lst[j], lst[j + 1] = lst[j + 1], lst[j]
    return lst

print(bubble_sort([5, 4, 3, 2, 1]))

Using BLAS

BLAS library can be integrated to further accelerate matrix multiplication. However, in some cases, using BLAS may cause performance degradation. Whether to turn on BLAS should depend on the benchmarking result.

Accelerate Framework

Accelerate Framework is automatically enabled on macOS. To disable it, add the CMake flag -DGGML_NO_ACCELERATE=ON.

OpenBLAS

OpenBLAS provides acceleration on CPU. Add the CMake flag -DGGML_OPENBLAS=ON to enable it.

cmake -B build -DGGML_OPENBLAS=ON && cmake --build build -j

CUDA

CUDA accelerates model inference on NVIDIA GPU. Add the CMake flag -DGGML_CUDA=ON to enable it.

cmake -B build -DGGML_CUDA=ON && cmake --build build -j

By default, all kernels will be compiled for all possible CUDA architectures and it takes some time. To run on a specific type of device, you may specify CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES to speed up the nvcc compilation. For example:

cmake -B build -DGGML_CUDA=ON -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES="80"       # for A100
cmake -B build -DGGML_CUDA=ON -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES="70;75"    # compatible with both V100 and T4

To find out the CUDA architecture of your GPU device, see Your GPU Compute Capability.

Metal

MPS (Metal Performance Shaders) allows computation to run on powerful Apple Silicon GPU. Add the CMake flag -DGGML_METAL=ON to enable it.

cmake -B build -DGGML_METAL=ON && cmake --build build -j

Python Binding

The Python binding provides high-level chat and stream_chat interface similar to the original Hugging Face ChatGLM(2)-6B.

Installation

Install from PyPI (recommended): will trigger compilation on your platform.

pip install -U chatglm-cpp

To enable CUDA on NVIDIA GPU:

CMAKE_ARGS="-DGGML_CUDA=ON" pip install -U chatglm-cpp

To enable Metal on Apple silicon devices:

CMAKE_ARGS="-DGGML_METAL=ON" pip install -U chatglm-cpp

You may also install from source. Add the corresponding CMAKE_ARGS for acceleration.

# install from the latest source hosted on GitHub
pip install git+https://github.com/li-plus/chatglm.cpp.git@main
# or install from your local source after git cloning the repo
pip install .

Pre-built wheels for CPU backend on Linux / MacOS / Windows are published on release. For CUDA / Metal backends, please compile from source code or source distribution.

Using Pre-converted GGML Models

Here is a simple demo that uses chatglm_cpp.Pipeline to load the GGML model and chat with it. First enter the examples folder (cd examples) and launch a Python interactive shell:

>>> import chatglm_cpp
>>> 
>>> pipeline = chatglm_cpp.Pipeline("../models/chatglm-ggml.bin")
>>> pipeline.chat([chatglm_cpp.ChatMessage(role="user", content="你好")])
ChatMessage(role="assistant", content="你好！我是人工智能助手 ChatGLM-6B，很高兴见到你，欢迎问我任何问题。", tool_calls=[])

To chat in stream, run the below Python example:

python3 cli_demo.py -m ../models/chatglm-ggml.bin -i

Launch a web demo to chat in your browser:

python3 web_demo.py -m ../models/chatglm-ggml.bin

For other models:

ChatGLM2-6B

python3 cli_demo.py -m ../models/chatglm2-ggml.bin -p 你好 --temp 0.8 --top_p 0.8  # CLI demo
python3 web_demo.py -m ../models/chatglm2-ggml.bin --temp 0.8 --top_p 0.8  # web demo

ChatGLM3-6B

CLI Demo

Chat mode:

python3 cli_demo.py -m ../models/chatglm3-ggml.bin -p 你好 --temp 0.8 --top_p 0.8

Function call:

python3 cli_demo.py -m ../models/chatglm3-ggml.bin --temp 0.8 --top_p 0.8 --sp system/function_call.txt -i

Code interpreter:

python3 cli_demo.py -m ../models/chatglm3-ggml.bin --temp 0.8 --top_p 0.8 --sp system/code_interpreter.txt -i
