EasyLLM -

EasyLLM is an open source project that provides helpful tools and methods for working with large language models (LLMs), both open source and closed source. Get immediataly started or check out the documentation.

EasyLLM implements clients that are compatible with OpenAI's Completion API. This means you can easily replace openai.ChatCompletion, openai.Completion, openai.Embedding with, for example, huggingface.ChatCompletion, huggingface.Completion or huggingface.Embedding by changing one line of code.

Supported Clients

• huggingface - HuggingFace models
  • huggingface.ChatCompletion - Chat with LLMs
  • huggingface.Completion - Text completion with LLMs
  • huggingface.Embedding - Create embeddings with LLMs
• sagemaker - Open LLMs deployed on Amazon SageMaker
  • sagemaker.ChatCompletion - Chat with LLMs
  • sagemaker.Completion - Text completion with LLMs
  • sagemaker.Embedding - Create embeddings with LLMs

Check out the Examples to get started.

🚀 Getting Started

Install EasyLLM via pip:

pip install easyllm

Then import and start using the clients:

from easyllm.clients import huggingface

# helper to build llama2 prompt
huggingface.prompt_builder = "llama2"

response = huggingface.ChatCompletion.create(
    model="meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-chat-hf",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "\nYou are a helpful assistant speaking like a pirate. argh!"},
        {"role": "user", "content": "What is the sun?"},
    ],
    temperature=0.9,
    top_p=0.6,
    max_tokens=256,
)

print(response)

the result will look like

{
  "id": "hf-lVC2iTMkFJ",
  "object": "chat.completion",
  "created": 1690661144,
  "model": "meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-chat-hf",
  "choices": [
    {
      "index": 0,
      "message": {
        "role": "assistant",
        "content": " Arrrr, the sun be a big ol' ball o' fire in the sky, me hearty! It be the source o' light and warmth for our fair planet, and it be a mighty powerful force, savvy? Without the sun, we'd be sailin' through the darkness, lost and cold, so let's give a hearty \"Yarrr!\" for the sun, me hearties! Arrrr!"
      },
      "finish_reason": null
    }
  ],
  "usage": {
    "prompt_tokens": 111,
    "completion_tokens": 299,
    "total_tokens": 410
  }
}

💪🏻 Migration from OpenAI to HuggingFace

Migrating from OpenAI to HuggingFace is easy. Just change the import statement and the client you want to use and optionally the prompt builder.

- import openai
+ from easyllm.clients import huggingface
+ huggingface.prompt_builder = "llama2"


- response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
+ response = huggingface.ChatCompletion.create(
-    model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
+    model="meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-chat-hf",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Knock knock."},
    ],
)

Make sure when you switch your client that your hyperparameters are still valid. For example, temperature of GPT-3 might be different than temperature of Llama-2.

☑️ Key Features

🤝 Compatible Clients

• Implementation of clients compatible with OpenAI API format of openai.ChatCompletion, openai.Completion, openai.Embedding.
• Easily switch between different LLMs like openai.ChatCompletion and huggingface.ChatCompletion by changing one line of code.
• Support for streaming of completions, checkout example How to stream completions.

⚙️ Helper Modules ⚙️

• evol_instruct (work in progress) - Use evolutionary algorithms create instructions for LLMs.

• prompt_utils - Helper methods to easily convert between prompt formats like OpenAI Messages to prompts for open source models like Llama 2.

🙏 Contributing

EasyLLM is an open source project and welcomes contributions of all kinds.

The project uses hatch for development. To get started, fork the repository and clone it to your local machine.

0. Confirm hatch is installed (pipx is great to make it available globally on your machine)
1. Once in the project directory, run hatch env create to create a default virtual environment for development.
2. Activate the virtual environment with hatch shell
3. Start developing! 🤩
