## How to Prepare Vicuna Weight
|
|||
|
Vicuna is an open-source LLAMA-based LLM that has a performance close to ChatGPT.
|
|||
|
We currently use the v0 version of Vicuna-13B.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To prepare Vicuna’s weight, first download Vicuna’s **delta** weight from [https://huggingface.co/lmsys/vicuna-13b-delta-v0](https://huggingface.co/lmsys/vicuna-13b-delta-v0).
|
|||
|
In case you have git-lfs installed (https://git-lfs.com), this can be done by
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
git lfs install
|
|||
|
git clone https://huggingface.co/lmsys/vicuna-13b-delta-v0 # more powerful, need at least 24G gpu memory
|
|||
|
# or
|
|||
|
git clone https://huggingface.co/lmsys/vicuna-7b-delta-v0 # smaller, need 12G gpu memory
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Note that this is not directly the working weight, but the difference between the working weight and the original weight of LLAMA-13B. (Due to LLAMA’s rules, we cannot distribute the weight of LLAMA.)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Then, you need to obtain the original LLAMA-7B or LLAMA-13B weights in the HuggingFace format
|
|||
|
either following the instruction provided by HuggingFace
|
|||
|
[here](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/model_doc/llama) or from the Internet.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
When these two weights are ready, we can use tools from Vicuna’s team to create the real working weight.
|
|||
|
First, Install their library that is compatible with v0 Vicuna by
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
pip install git+https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat.git@v0.1.10
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Then, run the following command to create the final working weight
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
python -m fastchat.model.apply_delta --base /path/to/llama-13bOR7b-hf/ --target /path/to/save/working/vicuna/weight/ --delta /path/to/vicuna-13bOR7b-delta-v0/
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Now you are good to go!
