Getting models

There are 2 ways to get models with mistral.rs:

  • From Hugging Face Hub (easiest)
  • From local files
    • Running a GGUF model
    • Specify local paths

Getting models from Hugging Face Hub

Mistral.rs can automatically download models from HF Hub. To access gated models, you should provide a token source. They may be one of:

  • literal:<value>: Load from a specified literal
  • env:<value>: Load from a specified environment variable
  • path:<value>: Load from a specified file
  • cache: default: Load from the HF token at ~/.cache/huggingface/token or equivalent.
  • none: Use no HF token

This is passed in the following ways:

  • Command line:
./mistralrs-server --token-source none -i plain -m microsoft/Phi-3-mini-128k-instruct -a phi3
  • Python:

Here is an example of setting the token source.

If token cannot be loaded, no token will be used (i.e. effectively using none).

Loading models from local files:

You can also instruct mistral.rs to load models fully locally by modifying the *_model_id arguments or options:

./mistralrs-server --port 1234 plain -m . -a mistral

Throughout mistral.rs, any model ID argument or option may be a local path and should contain the following files for each model ID option:

  • --model-id (server) or model_id (python/rust) or --tok-model-id (server) or tok_model_id (python/rust):
    • config.json
    • tokenizer_config.json
    • tokenizer.json (if not specified separately)
    • .safetensors/.bin/.pth/.pt files (defaults to .safetensors)
    • preprocessor_config.json (required for vision models).
    • processor_config.json (optional for vision models).
  • --quantized-model-id (server) or quantized_model_id (python/rust):
    • Specified .gguf or .ggml file.
  • --x-lora-model-id (server) or xlora_model_id (python/rust):
    • xlora_classifier.safetensors
    • xlora_config.json
    • Adapters .safetensors and adapter_config.json files in their respective directories
  • --adapters-model-id (server) or adapters_model_id (python/rust):
    • Adapters .safetensors and adapter_config.json files in their respective directories

Running GGUF models

To run GGUF models, the only mandatory arguments are the quantized model ID and the quantized filename. The quantized model ID can be a HF model ID.

GGUF models contain a tokenizer. However, mistral.rs allows you to run the model with a tokenizer from a specified model, typically the official one. This means there are two options:

  1. With a specified tokenizer
  2. With the builtin tokenizer

With a specified tokenizer

Running with a tokenizer model ID enables you to specify the model ID to source the tokenizer from:

./mistralrs-server gguf -m bartowski/Phi-3.5-mini-instruct-GGUF -f Phi-3.5-mini-instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf -t microsoft/Phi-3.5-mini-instruct

If the specified tokenizer model ID contains a tokenizer.json, then it will be used over the GGUF tokenizer.

With the builtin tokenizer

Using the builtin tokenizer:

./mistralrs-server gguf -m bartowski/Phi-3.5-mini-instruct-GGUF -f Phi-3.5-mini-instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf

(or using a local file):

./mistralrs-server gguf -m path/to/files -f Phi-3.5-mini-instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf

There are a few more ways to configure:

Chat template:

The chat template can be automatically detected and loaded from the GGUF file if no other chat template source is specified including the tokenizer model ID.

If that does not work, you can either provide a tokenizer (recommended), or specify a custom chat template.

./mistralrs-server --chat-template <chat_template> gguf -m . -f Phi-3.5-mini-instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf

Tokenizer

The following tokenizer model types are currently supported. If you would like one to be added, please raise an issue. Otherwise, please consider using the method demonstrated in examples below, where the tokenizer is sourced from Hugging Face.

Supported GGUF tokenizer types

  • llama (sentencepiece)
  • gpt2 (BPE)

Run with the CLI

Mistral.rs uses subcommands to control the model type. They are generally of format <XLORA/LORA>-<QUANTIZATION>. Please run ./mistralrs-server --help to see the subcommands.

Architecture for plain models

Note: for plain models, you can specify the data type to load and run in. This must be one of f32, f16, bf16 or auto to choose based on the device. This is specified in the --dype/-d parameter after the model architecture (plain).

If you do not specify the architecture, an attempt will be made to use the model's config. If this fails, please raise an issue.

Architecture for vision models

Note: for vision models, you can specify the data type to load and run in. This must be one of f32, f16, bf16 or auto to choose based on the device. This is specified in the --dype/-d parameter after the model architecture (vision-plain).

Interactive mode

You can launch interactive mode, a simple chat application running in the terminal, by passing -i:

./mistralrs-server -i plain -m microsoft/Phi-3-mini-128k-instruct -a phi3

Vision models work too:

./mistralrs-server -i vision-plain -m lamm-mit/Cephalo-Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct-128k -a vllama

And even diffusion models:

./mistralrs-server -i diffusion-plain -m black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell -a flux

OpenAI HTTP server

You can an HTTP server

./mistralrs-server --port 1234 plain -m microsoft/Phi-3.5-MoE-instruct -a phi3.5moe

Structured selection with a .toml file

We provide a method to select models with a .toml file. The keys are the same as the command line, with no_kv_cache and tokenizer_json being "global" keys.

Example:

./mistralrs-server --port 1234 toml -f toml-selectors/gguf.toml

Using derivative model

To use a derivative model, select the model architecture using the correct subcommand. To see what can be passed for the architecture, pass --help after the subcommand. For example, when using a different model than the default, specify the following for the following types of models:

  • Plain: Model id
  • Quantized: Quantized model id, quantized filename, and tokenizer id
  • X-LoRA: Model id, X-LoRA ordering
  • X-LoRA quantized: Quantized model id, quantized filename, tokenizer id, and X-LoRA ordering
  • LoRA: Model id, LoRA ordering
  • LoRA quantized: Quantized model id, quantized filename, tokenizer id, and LoRA ordering
  • Vision Plain: Model id

See this section to determine if it is necessary to prepare an X-LoRA/LoRA ordering file, it is always necessary if the target modules or architecture changed, or if the adapter order changed.

It is also important to check the chat template style of the model. If the HF hub repo has a tokenizer_config.json file, it is not necessary to specify. Otherwise, templates can be found in chat_templates and should be passed before the subcommand. If the model is not instruction tuned, no chat template will be found and the APIs will only accept a prompt, no messages.

For example, when using a Zephyr model:

./mistralrs-server --port 1234 --log output.txt gguf -t HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta -m TheBloke/zephyr-7B-beta-GGUF -f zephyr-7b-beta.Q5_0.gguf

Adapter model support: X-LoRA and LoRA

An adapter model is a model with X-LoRA or LoRA. X-LoRA support is provided by selecting the x-lora-* architecture, and LoRA support by selecting the lora-* architecture. Please find docs for adapter models here. Examples may be found here.

Chat Templates and Tokenizer

Mistral.rs will attempt to automatically load a chat template and tokenizer. This enables high flexibility across models and ensures accurate and flexible chat templating. However, this behavior can be customized. Please find detailed documentation here.
