llama.cpp server / embeddings broken

[skadefro]

hey
I had an older git clone of llama cpp and your integration with the llamacpp server was working perfectly.
I cloned the latest version on to a new server but keept getting 'Invalid JSON response error.

After testing different git commit's of llama.cpp i found that cb33f43a2a9f5a5a5f8d290dd97c625d9ba97a2f was one of the last ones to still work. ( so one of those around that )
I know they have an issue open about implementing a new api, but to me it looks like they have not merged that yet so i hope it's a simple fix, to get this module to handle what ever they changed within the last two weeks ( just "nice to have" since they keep tweaking things and improving it, so would be nice, to be able to use latest version )
For anyone else having issues with that, you can go back to that version with

git checkout cb33f43a2a9f5a5a5f8d290dd97c625d9ba97a2f

@skadefro thanks for letting me know. I'll take a look. I think llama.cpp has also added grammar and image support in their API, so that should be fun to explore.

[skadefro]

Ohh, that would be a dream come true ...
If we had an easy to use framework that would support both openai and llama.cpp and whisper.cpp for both chat/embeddings/images and voice.

[lgrammel]

@skadefro I looked into whisper.cpp a little bit. Do you know if there are any projects that let you spin up whisper.cpp as a server?

[skadefro]

For someone who just want a web interface, this have worked fine for me Whisper-WebUI but i have not found any good api's for hosting it ( there is a few gist's laying around ) and I have seen at least 2 attempts on whisper.cpp's issue tracker and it looks like this one is coming out soon, so that looks promising. I had this one my my to-look-into list, but havent had time yet, but if the issue above turns into the "official" api, i would probably bet on that.
Speaking of new things; I just came across ollama .. for a die hard, docker/kubernetes fan like me, this looks very promising.

@skadefro I just tried out the latest llama.cpp (commit hash d9b33fe95bd257b36c84ee5769cc048230067d6f) with ModelFusion and it works for me. Have you started the llama.cpp server, e.g. like this? ./server -m models/llama-2-7b-chat.GGUF.q4_0.bin -c 4096 (you need to have the model available)

If you encounter the error with the llama.cpp server, could you provide more details about your setup?

Re ollama: it's been on my list for a while, just need to get around and add it. It seems simpler to use compared to llama.cpp and could be a good alternative.

[skadefro]

Ah, sorry, forgot to mention what endpoint. It is the /embedding endpoint
I'm running with this.

./server -m models/llama-7b/llama-2-7b-chat.Q4_0.gguf -c 2048 --host 10.0.0.161

and testing with this

        const Llamaapi = new LlamaCppApiConfiguration({
            baseUrl: "http://10.0.0.161:8080"
        
        });
        const embeddings = await embedMany(new LlamaCppTextEmbeddingModel({
            api: Llamaapi}), [
            "At first, Nox didn't know what to do with the pup.",
            "He keenly observed and absorbed everything around him, from the birds in the sky to the trees in the forest.",
        ]);
        console.log(embeddings);

This fails if the server is built from the latest version in master, but works if i checkout a commit that is around 2 weeks old

This still works just fine, on latest version

        const text = await generateText(
            new LlamaCppTextGenerationModel({ api: Llamaapi
            }),
            "Write a short story about a robot learning to love:\n\n"
        );
        console.log(text);

@skadefro just shipped v0.55.0 with Ollama text generation & streaming support: https://github.com/lgrammel/modelfusion/releases/tag/v0.55.0

[skadefro]

Wow, that was fast ... Tested and it works 😍 Thank you very much.

[lgrammel]

This seems to be related to parallelization. Several calls are made and one is rejected by Llama.cpp because there are no free slots. Instead, an error {"content":"slot unavailable"} is returned.

❯ npx ts-node src/model-provider/llamacpp/llamacpp-embed-many-example.ts
{"content":"slot unavailable"}
