This guide provides a comprehensive introduction to installing, making inferences, and fine-tuning AI models locally using a Web3 GPU Dock. It covers the installation of necessary software, setup procedures, and detailed steps for running and fine-tuning AI models. By following this guide, users will be able to leverage their local GPU capabilities to achieve efficient and powerful AI implementations.
Before we begin, ensure you have the following:
A computer with a modern processor and at least 8GB of RAM (16GB recommended).
An internet connection for downloading necessary software and models.
GPU dock attached to your machine.
If you have an NVIDIA GPU, installing the NVIDIA driver and CUDA toolkit will enable you to leverage GPU acceleration for faster model training and inference.
Check Your GPU:
Ensure your computer has an NVIDIA GPU. You can check this by going to Device Manager (Windows) or System Information (macOS).
Download and Install NVIDIA Driver:
Visit the .
Select your GPU model and operating system, then download and install the appropriate driver.
Download and Install CUDA Toolkit:
Visit the .
Select your operating system, architecture, and CUDA version (the latest version is recommended).
Follow the installation instructions provided on the website.
Verify CUDA Installation:
Open your command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS/Linux).
Type nvcc --version
and press Enter. You should see the CUDA version information.
Python is a popular programming language that we will use to run our models.
Download and Install Python:
Download the latest version (or any LTS version higher than 3.8) of Python for your operating system.
Follow the installation instructions. Ensure you check the option to add Python to your PATH during installation.
Verify Python Installation:
Open your command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS/Linux).
Type python --version
and press Enter. You should see the version of Python you installed.
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.
Using Anaconda and PyCharm makes managing your Python environment easier with a user-friendly interface.
Using Anaconda
Download and Install Anaconda:
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 Environments
tab on the left.
Click the Create
button.
Name your environment (e.g., llm_env
) and select Python version 3.8 or higher. Click Create
.
Activate the Environment:
In the Environments tab, select the environment you just created and click Open Terminal
.
Using PyCharm
Download and Install PyCharm:
Download and install the Community edition of PyCharm.
Create a New Project:
Open PyCharm and click on New Project
.
In the New Project
window, select Pure Python
.
Choose a location for your project and set the Base Interpreter
to the Python interpreter from your Anaconda environment. You can find it under your Anaconda installation directory, inside the envs
folder and then your environment folder (e.g., C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Anaconda3\envs\llm_env\python.exe
).
Click Create
.
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).
Install Transformers Library:
In the same terminal, type the following command and press Enter:
Install Other Dependencies:
If needed, install additional dependencies using pip:
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
, then Python File
) and name it run_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.py
file and select Run 'run_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.txt
with 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.py
and add the above code.
Right-click on the train_model.py
file and select Run 'train_model'
.
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.
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
.
