LLAMA-style LLMs and LangChain: A Solution to Long-Term Memory Problem

LLAMA-style Long-Form Memory (LLM) models are gaining popularity in solving long-term memory (LTM) problems. However, the creation of LLMs requires a fully manual process. Users may wonder whether any existing GPT-powered applications perform similar tasks. A project called gpt-llama.cpp, which uses llama.cpp and mocks an OpenAI endpoint, has been proposed to support GPT-powered applications with llama.cpp, which supports Vicuna.

LangChain, a framework for building agents, provides a solution to the LTM problem by combining LLMs, tools, and memory. The framework offers different memory types, and users can wrap local LLaMA models into a pipeline for it. LangChain supports vector databases as well for memory, and they have integrations for many models besides OpenAI. The framework is highly recommended to anyone looking to build an agent project.

If users want to integrate LangChain into Vicuna, they only need a wrapper around the API call and return the response. Users can combine LangChain with Vicuna by creating a summary of the prior conversation, along with the last X tokens of conversation history. Conversation chains can be built by using LangChain's ConversationChain class.

If users are interested in creating LLMs with extremely long context windows, they can refer to this paper, which offers a solution: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.10866.pdf. Additionally, users can explore memory networks like the ones used by Chatterbot or ParlAI to create a database based on chat logs and pick out relevant sections to parrot back when asked about something in the dataset. This could be used as a perfect complement to LangChain-style LLMs, which are excellent at creativity but cannot remember anything that happened more than a few thousand tokens ago.

Stack Llama and Vicuna-13B Comparison

Stack Llama, available on the TRL Library, is a RLHF model that works well with logical tasks, similar to the performance of normal Vicuna-13B 1.1 in initial testing. However, it requires about 25.2GB of dedicated GPU VRAM and takes approximately 12 seconds to load.

The Stack Llama model was trained using the StableLM training method, which aims to improve the stability of the model's training and make it more robust to the effects of noisy data. The model was also trained on a … click here to read

Re-Pre-Training Language Models for Low-Resource Languages

Language models are initially pre-trained on a huge corpus of mostly-unfiltered text in the target languages, then they are made into ChatLLMs by fine-tuning on a prompt dataset. The pre-training is the most expensive part by far, and if existing LLMs can't do basic sentences in your language, then one needs to start from that point by finding/scraping/making a huge dataset. One can exhaustively go through every available LLM and check its language abilities before investing in re-pre-training. There are surprisingly many of them … click here to read

Bringing Accelerated LLM to Consumer Hardware

MLC AI, a startup that specializes in creating advanced language models, has announced its latest breakthrough: a way to bring accelerated Language Model (LLM) training to consumer hardware. This development will enable more accessible and affordable training of advanced LLMs for companies and organizations, paving the way for faster and more efficient natural language processing.

The MLC team has achieved this by optimizing its training process for consumer-grade hardware, which typically lacks the computational power of high-end data center infrastructure. This optimization … click here to read

Transforming LLMs with Externalized World Knowledge

The concept of externalizing world knowledge to make language models more efficient has been gaining traction in the field of AI. Current LLMs are equipped with enormous amounts of data, but not all of it is useful or relevant. Therefore, it is important to offload the "facts" and allow LLMs to focus on language and reasoning skills. One potential solution is to use a vector database to store world knowledge.

However, some have questioned the feasibility of this approach, as it may … click here to read

Improving Llama.cpp Model Output for Agent Environment with WizardLM and Mixed-Quantization Models

Llama.cpp is a powerful tool for generating natural language responses in an agent environment. One way to speed up the generation process is to save the prompt ingestion stage to cache using the --session parameter and giving each prompt its own session name. Furthermore, using the impressive and fast WizardLM 7b (q5_1) and comparing its results with other new fine tunes like TheBloke/wizard-vicuna-13B-GGML could also be useful, especially when prompt-tuning. Additionally, adding the llama.cpp parameter --mirostat has been … click here to read
