Huggingface TextGen Inference

Text Generation Inference is a Rust, Python and gRPC server for text generation inference. Used in production at HuggingFace to power LLMs api-inference widgets.

This notebooks goes over how to use a self hosted LLM using Text Generation Inference.

To use, you should have the text_generation python package installed.

# !pip3 install text_generation
from langchain_community.llms import HuggingFaceTextGenInference

llm = HuggingFaceTextGenInference(
inference_server_url="http://localhost:8010/",
max_new_tokens=512,
top_k=10,
top_p=0.95,
typical_p=0.95,
temperature=0.01,
repetition_penalty=1.03,
)
llm("What did foo say about bar?")

Streaming

from langchain.callbacks.streaming_stdout import StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler
from langchain_community.llms import HuggingFaceTextGenInference

llm = HuggingFaceTextGenInference(
inference_server_url="http://localhost:8010/",
max_new_tokens=512,
top_k=10,
top_p=0.95,
typical_p=0.95,
temperature=0.01,
repetition_penalty=1.03,
streaming=True,
)
llm("What did foo say about bar?", callbacks=[StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler()])
