Description

This model is intended to be used as an accelerator for llama3 8b (instruct) and takes inspiration from the Medusa speculative decoding architecture. This accelerator modifies the MLP into a multi-stage MLP, where each stage predicts a single token in the draft based on both a state vector and sampled token from the prior stage (the base model can be considered stage 0). The state vector from the base model provides contextual information to the accelerator, while conditioning on prior sampled tokens allows it to produce higher-quality draft n-grams.

Note: The underlying MLP speculator is a generic architecture that can be trained with any generative model to accelerate inference. Training is light-weight and can be completed in only a few days depending on base model size and speed.

Production Server Sample

To try this out running in a production-like environment, please use the pre-built docker image:

Setup

HF_HUB_CACHE=/hf_hub_cache
chmod a+w $HF_HUB_CACHE
HF_HUB_TOKEN="your huggingface hub token"
TGIS_IMAGE=quay.io/wxpe/text-gen-server:main.ee927a4

docker pull $TGIS_IMAGE

# optionally download llama3-8b-instruct if the weights do not already exist
docker run --rm \
    -v $HF_HUB_CACHE:/models \
    -e HF_HUB_CACHE=/models \
    -e TRANSFORMERS_CACHE=/models \
    $TGIS_IMAGE \
    text-generation-server download-weights \
    meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct \
    --token $HF_HUB_TOKEN

# optionally download the speculator model if the weights do not already exist
docker run --rm \
    -v $HF_HUB_CACHE:/models \
    -e HF_HUB_CACHE=/models \
    -e TRANSFORMERS_CACHE=/models \
    $TGIS_IMAGE \
    text-generation-server download-weights \
    ibm-fms/llama3-8b-accelerator \
    --token $HF_HUB_TOKEN

# note: if the weights were downloaded separately (not with the above commands), please place them in the HF_HUB_CACHE directoy and refer to them with /models/<model_name>
docker run -d --rm --gpus all \
