Inference(Xinference)](https://github.com/xorbitsai/inference) is a
powerful and versatile library designed to serve language, speech
recognition, and multimodal models. Xinference supports a variety of
GGML-compatible models including chatglm, whisper, and vicuna, and
utilizes heterogeneous hardware and a distributed architecture for
seamless cross-device and cross-server model deployment.
- This PR integrates Xinference models and Xinference embeddings into
LangChain.
- Dependencies: To install the depenedencies for this integration, run
`pip install "xinference[all]"`
- Example Usage:
To start a local instance of Xinference, run `xinference`.
To deploy Xinference in a distributed cluster, first start an Xinference
supervisor using `xinference-supervisor`:
`xinference-supervisor -H "${supervisor_host}"`
Then, start the Xinference workers using `xinference-worker` on each
server you want to run them on.
`xinference-worker -e "http://${supervisor_host}:9997"`
To use Xinference with LangChain, you also need to launch a model. You
can use command line interface (CLI) to do so. Fo example: `xinference
launch -n vicuna-v1.3 -f ggmlv3 -q q4_0`. This launches a model named
vicuna-v1.3 with `model_format="ggmlv3"` and `quantization="q4_0"`. A
model UID is returned for you to use.
Now you can use Xinference with LangChain:
```python
from langchain.llms import Xinference
llm = Xinference(
server_url="http://0.0.0.0:9997", # suppose the supervisor_host is "0.0.0.0"
model_uid = {model_uid} # model UID returned from launching a model
)
llm(
prompt="Q: where can we visit in the capital of France? A:",
generate_config={"max_tokens": 1024},
)
```
You can also use RESTful client to launch a model:
```python
from xinference.client import RESTfulClient
client = RESTfulClient("http://0.0.0.0:9997")
model_uid = client.launch_model(model_name="vicuna-v1.3", model_size_in_billions=7, quantization="q4_0")
```
The following code block demonstrates how to use Xinference embeddings
with LangChain:
```python
from langchain.embeddings import XinferenceEmbeddings
xinference = XinferenceEmbeddings(
server_url="http://0.0.0.0:9997",
model_uid = model_uid
)
```
```python
query_result = xinference.embed_query("This is a test query")
```
```python
doc_result = xinference.embed_documents(["text A", "text B"])
```
Xinference is still under rapid development. Feel free to [join our
