LightLLM is a Python-based LLM (Large Language Model) inference and serving framework, notable for its lightweight design, easy scalability, and high-speed performance. LightLLM harnesses the strengths of numerous well-regarded open-source implementations, including but not limited to FasterTransformer, TGI, vLLM, and FlashAttention.
## Features
- Tri-process asynchronous collaboration: tokenization, model inference, and detokenization are performed asynchronously, leading to a considerable improvement in GPU utilization.
- Nopad (Unpad): offers support for nopad attention operations across multiple models to efficiently handle requests with large length disparities.
- Dynamic Batch: enables dynamic batch scheduling of requests
- [FlashAttention](https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention): incorporates FlashAttention to improve speed and reduce GPU memory footprint during inference.
- Tensor Parallelism: utilizes tensor parallelism over multiple GPUs for faster inference.
- [Token Attention](./docs/TokenAttention.md): implements token-wise's KV cache memory management mechanism, allowing for zero memory waste during inference.
- High-performance Router: collaborates with Token Attention to meticulously manage the GPU memory of each token, thereby optimizing system throughput.
- Int8KV Cache: This feature will increase the capacity of tokens to almost twice as much. only llama support.

## Get started
### Requirements
The code has been tested with Pytorch>=1.3, CUDA 11.8, and Python 3.9. To install the necessary dependencies, please refer to the provided **requirements.txt** and follow the instructions as
~~~shell
pip install -r requirements.txt
~~~
### Container
You can use the official Docker container to run the model more easily. To do this, follow these steps:
- Pull the container from the GitHub Container Registry:
```shell
docker pull ghcr.io/modeltc/lightllm:main
```
- Run the container with GPU support and port mapping:
```shell
docker run -it --gpus all -p 8080:8080 \
--shm-size 1g -v your_local_path:/data/ \
ghcr.io/modeltc/lightllm:main /bin/bash
```
- Alternatively, you can build the container yourself:
```shell
docker build -t .
docker run -it --gpus all -p 8080:8080 \
--shm-size 1g -v your_local_path:/data/ \
/bin/bash
```
- You can also use a helper script to launch both the container and the server:
```shell
python tools/quick_launch_docker.py --help
```
- Note: If you use multiple GPUs, you may need to increase the shared memory size by adding `--shm-size` to the `docker run` command.
### Installation
- Install from the source code by
~~~shell
python setup.py install
~~~
- Install Triton Package
The code has been tested on a range of GPUs including V100, A100, A800, 4090, and H800. If you are running the code on A100, A800, etc., we recommend using triton==2.1.0.
~~~shell
pip install triton==2.1.0 --no-deps
~~~
If you are running the code on H800 or V100., we recommend using triton-nightly, triton-nightly has a significant CPU bottleneck, leading to high decode latency at low concurrency levels. You can observe [this issue](https://github.com/openai/triton/issues/3619) and [fix PR](https://github.com/openai/triton/pull/3638).You can try modifying and compiling the
source code yourself to resolve this issue.
~~~shell
pip install -U --index-url https://aiinfra.pkgs.visualstudio.com/PublicPackages/_packaging/Triton-Nightly/pypi/simple/ triton-nightly --no-deps
~~~
### RUN LLaMA
With efficient Routers and TokenAttention, LightLLM can be deployed as a service and achieve the state-of-the-art throughput performance.
Launch the server:
~~~shell
python -m lightllm.server.api_server --model_dir /path/llama-7B \
--host 0.0.0.0 \
--port 8080 \
--tp 1 \
--max_total_token_num 120000
~~~
The parameter `max_total_token_num` is influenced by the GPU memory of the deployment environment. A larger value for this parameter allows for the processing of more concurrent requests, thereby increasing system concurrency. For more startup parameters, please refer to [api_server.py](lightllm/server/api_server.py) or [ApiServerArgs.md](docs/ApiServerArgs.md).
To initiate a query in the shell:
~~~shell
curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/generate \
-X POST \
-d '{"inputs":"What is AI?","parameters":{"max_new_tokens":17, "frequency_penalty":1}}' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
~~~
To query from Python:
~~~python
import time
import requests
import json
url = 'http://localhost:8080/generate'
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
data = {
'inputs': 'What is AI?',
"parameters": {
'do_sample': False,
'ignore_eos': False,
'max_new_tokens': 1024,
}
}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))
if response.status_code == 200:
print(response.json())
else:
print('Error:', response.status_code, response.text)
~~~
### RUN Multimodal Models
##### Run QWen-VL
~~~shell
python -m lightllm.server.api_server \
--host 0.0.0.0 \

--trust_remote_code \
--enable_multimodal \
--cache_capacity 1000 \
--model_dir /path/of/Qwen-VL or /path/of/Qwen-VL-Chat
~~~

## Performance
### Service Performance
We compared the service performance of LightLLM and vLLM==0.1.2 on LLaMA-7B using an A800 with 80G GPU memory.
To begin, prepare the data as follows:
~~~shell
wget https://huggingface.co/datasets/anon8231489123/ShareGPT_Vicuna_unfiltered/resolve/main/ShareGPT_V3_unfiltered_cleaned_split.json
~~~
Launch the service:
~~~shell
python -m lightllm.server.api_server --model_dir /path/llama-7b --tp 1 --max_total_token_num 121060 --tokenizer_mode auto
~~~
Evaluation:
~~~shell
cd test
python benchmark_serving.py --tokenizer /path/llama-7b --dataset /path/ShareGPT_V3_unfiltered_cleaned_split.json --num-prompts 2000 --request-rate 200
~~~
The performance comparison results are presented below:
| vLLM | LightLLM |
| ---------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Total time: 361.79 s
Throughput: 5.53 requests/s | Total time: 188.85 s
Throughput: 10.59 requests/s |
### Static inference performance
For debugging, we offer static performance testing scripts for various models. For instance, you can evaluate the inference performance of the LLaMA model by
~~~shell
cd test/model
python test_llama.py
~~~
### FAQ
- The LLaMA tokenizer fails to load.
- consider resolving this by running the command `pip install protobuf==3.20.0`.
- `error : PTX .version 7.4 does not support .target sm_89`
- launch with `bash tools/resolve_ptx_version python -m lightllm.server.api_server ... `
