Create an LLM-powered Chatbot using OpenVINO Generate API

This Jupyter notebook can be launched after a local installation only.

In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence (AI), chatbots have emerged as powerful tools for businesses to enhance customer interactions and streamline operations. Large Language Models (LLMs) are artificial intelligence systems that can understand and generate human language. They use deep learning algorithms and massive amounts of data to learn the nuances of language and produce coherent and relevant responses. While a decent intent-based chatbot can answer basic, one-touch inquiries like order management, FAQs, and policy questions, LLM chatbots can tackle more complex, multi-touch questions. LLM enables chatbots to provide support in a conversational manner, similar to how humans do, through contextual memory. Leveraging the capabilities of Language Models, chatbots are becoming increasingly intelligent, capable of understanding and responding to human language with remarkable accuracy.

Previously, we already discussed how to build an instruction-following pipeline using OpenVINO, please check out this tutorial for reference. In this tutorial, we consider how to use the power of OpenVINO for running Large Language Models for chat. We will use a pre-trained model from the Hugging Face Transformers library. The Hugging Face Optimum Intel library converts the models to OpenVINO™ IR format. To simplify the user experience, we will use OpenVINO Generate API for generation pipeline.

The tutorial consists of the following steps:

• Install prerequisites

• Download and convert the model from a public source using the OpenVINO integration with Hugging Face Optimum.

• Compress model weights to 4-bit or 8-bit data types using NNCF

• Create a chat inference pipeline with OpenVINO Generate API.

• Run chat pipeline with Gradio.

Installation Instructions

This is a self-contained example that relies solely on its own code.

We recommend running the notebook in a virtual environment. You only need a Jupyter server to start. For details, please refer to Installation Guide.

Select model for inference

The tutorial supports different models, you can select one from the provided options to compare the quality of open source LLM solutions. Model conversion and optimization is time- and memory-consuming process. For your convenience, we provide a collection of optimized models on HuggingFace hub. You can skip the model conversion step by selecting one of the available on HuggingFace hub model. If you want to reproduce optimization process locally, please unset Use preconverted models checkbox.

Note: conversion of some models can require additional actions from user side and at least 64GB RAM for conversion.

Weight compression is a technique for enhancing the efficiency of models, especially those with large memory requirements. This method reduces the model’s memory footprint, a crucial factor for Large Language Models (LLMs). We provide several options for model weight compression:

• FP16 reducing model binary size on disk using save_model with enabled compression weights to FP16 precision. This approach is available in OpenVINO from scratch and is the default behavior.

• INT8 is an 8-bit weight-only quantization provided by NNCF: This method compresses weights to an 8-bit integer data type, which balances model size reduction and accuracy, making it a versatile option for a broad range of applications.

• INT4 is an 4-bit weight-only quantization provided by NNCF. involves quantizing weights to an unsigned 4-bit integer symmetrically around a fixed zero point of eight (i.e., the midpoint between zero and 15). in case of symmetric quantization or asymmetrically with a non-fixed zero point, in case of asymmetric quantization respectively. Compared to INT8 compression, INT4 compression improves performance even more, but introduces a minor drop in prediction quality. INT4 it ideal for situations where speed is prioritized over an acceptable trade-off against accuracy.

• INT4 AWQ is an 4-bit activation-aware weight quantization. Activation-aware Weight Quantization (AWQ) is an algorithm that tunes model weights for more accurate INT4 compression. It slightly improves generation quality of compressed LLMs, but requires significant additional time for tuning weights on a calibration dataset. We will use wikitext-2-raw-v1/train subset of the Wikitext dataset for calibration.

Convert model using Optimum-CLI tool

Optimum Intel is the interface between the Transformers and Diffusers libraries and OpenVINO to accelerate end-to-end pipelines on Intel architectures. It provides ease-to-use cli interface for exporting models to OpenVINO Intermediate Representation (IR) format.

Click here to read more about Optimum CLI usage

The command bellow demonstrates basic command for model export with optimum-cli

optimum-cli export openvino --model <model_id_or_path> --task <task> <out_dir>

where --model argument is model id from HuggingFace Hub or local directory with model (saved using .save_pretrained method), --task is one of supported task that exported model should solve. For LLMs it is recommended to use text-generation-with-past. If model initialization requires to use remote code, --trust-remote-code flag additionally should be passed.

Weights Compression using Optimum-CLI

You can also apply fp16, 8-bit or 4-bit weight compression on the Linear, Convolutional and Embedding layers when exporting your model with the CLI.

Click here to read more about weights compression with Optimum CLI

Setting --weight-format to respectively fp16, int8 or int4. This type of optimization allows to reduce the memory footprint and inference latency. By default the quantization scheme for int8/int4 will be asymmetric, to make it symmetric you can add --sym.

For INT4 quantization you can also specify the following arguments :

• The --group-size parameter will define the group size to use for quantization, -1 it will results in per-column quantization.

• The --ratio parameter controls the ratio between 4-bit and 8-bit quantization. If set to 0.9, it means that 90% of the layers will be quantized to int4 while 10% will be quantized to int8.

Smaller group_size and ratio values usually improve accuracy at the sacrifice of the model size and inference latency. You can enable AWQ to be additionally applied during model export with INT4 precision using --awq flag and providing dataset name with --datasetparameter (e.g. --dataset wikitext2)

Note: Applying AWQ requires significant memory and time.

Note: It is possible that there will be no matching patterns in the model to apply AWQ, in such case it will be skipped.

The cell below demonstrates how to instantiate model based on selected variant of model weights and inference device

Instantiate pipeline with OpenVINO Generate API

OpenVINO Generate API can be used to create pipelines to run an inference with OpenVINO Runtime.

Firstly we need to create a pipeline with LLMPipeline. LLMPipeline is the main object used for text generation using LLM in OpenVINO GenAI API. You can construct it straight away from the folder with the converted model. We will provide directory with model and device for LLMPipeline. Then we run generate method and get the output in text format. Additionally, we can configure parameters for decoding. We can get the default config with get_generation_config(), setup parameters, and apply the updated version with set_generation_config(config) or put config directly to generate(). It’s also possible to specify the needed options just as inputs in the generate() method, as shown below, e.g. we can add max_new_tokens to stop generation if a specified number of tokens is generated and the end of generation is not reached. We will discuss some of the available generation parameters more deeply later.

from openvino_genai import LLMPipeline

print(f"Loading model from {model_dir}\n")


pipe = LLMPipeline(str(model_dir), device.value)

generation_config = pipe.get_generation_config()

input_prompt = "The Sun is yellow bacause"
print(f"Input text: {input_prompt}")
print(pipe.generate(input_prompt, max_new_tokens=10))

Loading model from qwen2/INT4_compressed_weights

Input text: The Sun is yellow bacause
 it is made of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The

Run Chatbot

Now, when model created, we can setup Chatbot interface using Gradio.

Click here to see how pipeline works

The diagram below illustrates how the chatbot pipeline works

llm_diagram

As you can see, user input question passed via tokenizer to apply chat-specific formatting (chat template) and turn the provided string into the numeric format. OpenVINO Tokenizers are used for these purposes inside LLMPipeline. You can find more detailed info about tokenization theory and OpenVINO Tokenizers in this tutorial. Then tokenized input passed to LLM for making prediction of next token probability. The way the next token will be selected over predicted probabilities is driven by the selected decoding methodology. You can find more information about the most popular decoding methods in this blog. The sampler’s goal is to select the next token id is driven by generation configuration. Next, we apply stop generation condition to check the generation is finished or not (e.g. if we reached the maximum new generated tokens or the next token id equals to end of the generation). If the end of the generation is not reached, then new generated token id is used as the next iteration input, and the generation cycle repeats until the condition is not met. When stop generation criteria are met, then OpenVINO Detokenizer decodes generated token ids to text answer.

The difference between chatbot and instruction-following pipelines is that the model should have “memory” to find correct answers on the chain of connected questions. OpenVINO GenAI uses KVCache representation for maintain a history of conversation. By default, LLMPipeline resets KVCache after each generate call. To keep conversational history, we should move LLMPipeline to chat mode using start_chat() method.

More info about OpenVINO LLM inference can be found in LLM Inference Guide

Advanced generation options

Click here to see detailed description of advanced options

There are several parameters that can control text generation quality, * Temperature is a parameter used to control the level of creativity in AI-generated text. By adjusting the temperature, you can influence the AI model’s probability distribution, making the text more focused or diverse.

Consider the following example: The AI model has to complete the sentence “The cat is ____.” with the following token probabilities:

playing: 0.5

sleeping: 0.25

eating: 0.15

driving: 0.05

flying: 0.05

• Low temperature (e.g., 0.2): The AI model becomes more focused and deterministic, choosing tokens with the highest probability, such as “playing.”

  • Medium temperature (e.g., 1.0): The AI model maintains a balance between creativity and focus, selecting tokens based on their probabilities without significant bias, such as “playing,” “sleeping,” or “eating.”

  • High temperature (e.g., 2.0): The AI model becomes more adventurous, increasing the chances of selecting less likely tokens, such as “driving” and “flying.”

• Top-p, also known as nucleus sampling, is a parameter used to control the range of tokens considered by the AI model based on their cumulative probability. By adjusting the top-p value, you can influence the AI model’s token selection, making it more focused or diverse. Using the same example with the cat, consider the following top_p settings:

  • Low top_p (e.g., 0.5): The AI model considers only tokens with the highest cumulative probability, such as “playing.”

  • Medium top_p (e.g., 0.8): The AI model considers tokens with a higher cumulative probability, such as “playing,” “sleeping,” and “eating.”

  • High top_p (e.g., 1.0): The AI model considers all tokens, including those with lower probabilities, such as “driving” and “flying.”

• Top-k is an another popular sampling strategy. In comparison with Top-P, which chooses from the smallest possible set of words whose cumulative probability exceeds the probability P, in Top-K sampling K most likely next words are filtered and the probability mass is redistributed among only those K next words. In our example with cat, if k=3, then only “playing”, “sleeping” and “eating” will be taken into account as possible next word.

• Repetition Penalty This parameter can help penalize tokens based on how frequently they occur in the text, including the input prompt. A token that has already appeared five times is penalized more heavily than a token that has appeared only one time. A value of 1 means that there is no penalty and values larger than 1 discourage repeated tokens.
