* feat: Add python-side constants and conversion for adapter.lora.invocation_string

* feat: Parse invocation string for adapters from GGUF

* fix(python): Update conversion to alora_invocation_tokens

This is the preferred method in PEFT which is the source of ground truth

* feat: Add C APIs to get alora invocation token array from lora

* feat: Initial implementation of alora cache logic in server

This does not yet do the part to identify the invocation tokens and only
apply the lora adapter afterwards, but it does seem to produce correct
results if the invocation tokens are the beginning of the uncached input.

* feat: Identify alora invocation sequences

This currently limits to a single enabled alora per slot. Multiple aloras
with different invocation sequences would be possible, but it would require
a more complex integration of the adapter toggling and is not really a well
studied case for alora since it's unclear if one alora can reuse cache from
previous prefill computed with a different alora.

* feat: Only reuse cache for tokens before the alora invocation start

This is a bit of an edge case, but theoretically a user could try the same
query with the alora disabled (just using the base model), then retry with
the alora. The cached tokens from the first pass should be invalid.

* feat: Handle un-cached tokens that come before the alora activation

The solution is to only fill up to the token before the invocation start in
the batch if there are any tokens to be prefilled between those pulled from
cache and the invocation start. When this is detected, the alora is
temporarily disabled with a scale of 0.0, then immediately re-enabled after
it has been initialized for the internal graph. Since the batch does not
complete the prompt tokens, the remaining prompt tokens are handled in the
next task, pulling all of the non-alora tokens from cache and proceeding
with prefill for the alora tokens.

* fix: Use || instead of 'or'

Too much python 🤦

* fix: Fix off-by-one for limiting cached tokens to before alora start

This was the cause of the inconsistent results from the dummy test script
with and without the turn that runs the prompt without the adapter before
running it with the adapter.

* fix: Support backwards-compatibility for "invocation_string" in adapter_config.json

While this has been replaced in the PEFT PR in favor of
alora_invocation_tokens, the existing adapters in the ibm-granite org on HF
use "invocation_string," so this will enable backwards compatibility and
enable testing now (before PEFT PR changes have percolated everywhere).

gguf

This is a Python package for writing binary files in the GGUF (GGML Universal File) format.

See convert_hf_to_gguf.py as an example for its usage.

Installation

pip install gguf

Optionally, you can install gguf with the extra 'gui' to enable the visual GGUF editor.

pip install gguf[gui]

API Examples/Simple Tools

examples/writer.py — Generates example.gguf in the current directory to demonstrate generating a GGUF file. Note that this file cannot be used as a model.

examples/reader.py — Extracts and displays key-value pairs and tensor details from a GGUF file in a readable format.

gguf/scripts/gguf_dump.py — Dumps a GGUF file's metadata to the console.

gguf/scripts/gguf_set_metadata.py — Allows changing simple metadata values in a GGUF file by key.

gguf/scripts/gguf_convert_endian.py — Allows converting the endianness of GGUF files.

gguf/scripts/gguf_new_metadata.py — Copies a GGUF file with added/modified/removed metadata values.

gguf/scripts/gguf_editor_gui.py — Allows for viewing, editing, adding, or removing metadata values within a GGUF file as well as viewing its tensors with a Qt interface.

Development

Maintainers who participate in development of this package are advised to install it in editable mode:

cd /path/to/llama.cpp/gguf-py

pip install --editable .

Note: This may require to upgrade your Pip installation, with a message saying that editable installation currently requires setup.py. In this case, upgrade Pip to the latest:

pip install --upgrade pip

Automatic publishing with CI

There's a GitHub workflow to make a release automatically upon creation of tags in a specified format.

  1. Bump the version in pyproject.toml.
  2. Create a tag named gguf-vx.x.x where x.x.x is the semantic version number.
git tag -a gguf-v1.0.0 -m "Version 1.0 release"
  1. Push the tags.
git push origin --tags

Manual publishing

If you want to publish the package manually for any reason, you need to have twine and build installed:

pip install build twine

Then, follow these steps to release a new version:

  1. Bump the version in pyproject.toml.
  2. Build the package:
python -m build
  1. Upload the generated distribution archives:
python -m twine upload dist/*

Run Unit Tests

From root of this repository you can run this command to run all the unit tests

python -m unittest discover ./gguf-py -v

TODO

  • Include conversion scripts as command line entry points in this package.
