LLMs - Build Your Local GPT
Welcome to your comprehensive guide to installing, running, and fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) on your local machine using a Web3 GPU Dock. In this guide, we'll focus on GPT-Neo as our example model. You'll learn how to set up the necessary software, configure your environment, and utilize your GPU Dock to make inferences and fine-tune the model for your specific needs. Whether you're new to AI or looking to enhance your capabilities, this guide will provide you with the essential steps to get started with GPT-Neo using your GPU Dock efficiently and effectively.
Step 1: Setting Up the Development Environment with Anaconda and PyCharm
Using Anaconda and PyCharm makes managing your Python environment easier with a user-friendly interface.
Using Anaconda
Download and Install Anaconda:
Visit the Anaconda website.
Download the Anaconda installer for your operating system and follow the installation instructions.
Create a New Environment:
Open the Anaconda Navigator from your start menu or applications folder.
In the Anaconda Navigator, click on the
Environmentstab on the left.Click the
Createbutton.Name your environment (e.g.,
llm_env) and select Python version 3.8 or higher. ClickCreate.
Activate the Environment:
In the Environments tab, select the environment you just created and click
Open Terminal.
Using PyCharm
Download and Install PyCharm:
Visit the PyCharm website.
Download and install the Community edition of PyCharm.
Create a New Project:
Open PyCharm and click on
New Project.In the
New Projectwindow, selectPure Python.Choose a location for your project and set the
Base Interpreterto the Python interpreter from your Anaconda environment. You can find it under your Anaconda installation directory, inside theenvsfolder and then your environment folder (e.g.,C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Anaconda3\envs\llm_env\python.exe).Click
Create.
Step 2: Installing Necessary Libraries
We'll need several libraries to work with GPT-Neo, including PyTorch and Hugging Face Transformers.
Install PyTorch:
In PyCharm, open the terminal within the IDE (you can find it at the bottom of the window).
Visit the PyTorch website and follow the instructions to install PyTorch appropriate for your system. Copy the command provided on the website and paste it into the terminal. For example:
Install Transformers Library:
In the same terminal, type the following command and press Enter:
Install Other Dependencies:
If needed, install additional dependencies using pip:
Step 3: Downloading and Running GPT-Neo Models
Now we'll download and run the GPT-Neo models for inference using the Hugging Face Transformers library.
Download Models:
In PyCharm, create a new Python file (right-click on your project folder, select
New, thenPython File) and name itrun_models.py.Add the following code to download the models:
Run Models for Inference:
Add the following code to generate text with GPT-Neo:
Run the Script:
In PyCharm, right-click on the
run_models.pyfile and selectRun 'run_models'.
Step 4: Training the Models
Training large language models on a local machine can be resource-intensive. We'll demonstrate a simple fine-tuning process on a smaller dataset.
Prepare Your Dataset:
Create a text file named
train.txtwith sample sentences for training.
Fine-tune the Model:
Use the following code to fine-tune GPT-Neo:
Run the Training Script:
In PyCharm, create a new Python file named
train_model.pyand add the above code.Right-click on the
train_model.pyfile and selectRun 'train_model'.
Image Generation - Become the Artist of Your Own
Welcome to your comprehensive guide to installing, running, and fine-tuning Stable Diffusion models on your local machine using a Web3 GPU Dock. In this guide, we'll focus on Stable Diffusion 2 as our example model. You'll learn how to set up the necessary software, configure your environment, and utilize your GPU Dock to make inferences and fine-tune the model for your specific needs. Whether you're new to AI or looking to enhance your capabilities, this guide will provide you with the essential steps to get started with Stable Diffusion 2 using your GPU Dock efficiently and effectively.
Step 1: Setting Up the Development Environment with Anaconda and PyCharm
Using Anaconda and PyCharm makes managing your Python environment easier with a user-friendly interface.Note: It is common practice to set up separate environments for different AI services to avoid conflicts and ensure proper dependency management. However, you can still use the environment set up in the previous part if you prefer.

Explanation of Parameters:
guidance_scale: Controls the balance between creativity and accuracy. A higher value results in more creative output, while a lower value focuses on accuracy.
num_inference_steps: The number of steps used during the image generation process. More steps generally lead to higher quality but take longer to compute.
width and height: The dimensions of the generated image. Adjust these values based on your desired image size.
sampler: An optional parameter to use a different sampling method. In the example, we used
EulerAncestralDiscreteScheduler.
