ChatGLM

This document explains how to build the ChatGLM-6B models using TensorRT LLM and run on a single GPU, a single node with multiple GPUs or multiple nodes with multiple GPUs.

ChatGLM

Overview

The TensorRT LLM ChatGLM implementation can be found in tensorrt_llm/models/chatglm/model.py. The TensorRT LLM ChatGLM example code is located in examples/models/contrib/chatglm-6b. There is one main file:

examples/models/core/glm-4-9b/convert_checkpoint.py to convert a checkpoint from the HuggingFace (HF) Transformers format to the TensorRT LLM format.

In addition, there are two shared files in the parent folder examples for inference and evaluation:

../../../run.py to run the inference on an input text;
../../../summarize.py to summarize the articles in the cnn_dailymail dataset.

Model comparison

Name	nL	nAH	nKH	nHW	nH	nF	nMSL	nV	bP2D	bBQKV	bBDense	Comments
chatglm_6b	28	32	32	128	4096	16384	2048	130528	Y	Y	Y
glm_10b	48	64	32	64	4096	16384	1024	50304	Y	Y	Y

nL: number of layers
nAH: number of attention heads
nKH: number of kv heads (less than nAH if multi_query_attention is used)
nHW: head width
nH: hidden size
nF: FFN hidden size
nMSL: max sequence length (input + output)
nV: vocabulary size
bP2D: use position_encoding_2d (Y: Yes, N: No)
bBQKV: use bias for QKV multiplication in self-attention
bBDense: use bias for Dense multiplication in self-attention

Tokenizer and special tokens comparison

Usage

The next section describe how to build the engine and run the inference demo.

1. Download repo and weights from HuggingFace Transformers

pip install -r requirements.txt
apt-get update
apt-get install git-lfs
rm -rf chatglm*

# clone one or more models we want to build
git clone https://huggingface.co/THUDM/chatglm-6b       chatglm_6b
git clone https://huggingface.co/THUDM/glm-10b          glm_10b

# replace tokenization file if using transformers-4.36.1 for model ChatGLM-6B (this might be needless in the future)
cp chatglm_6b/tokenization_chatglm.py chatglm_6b/tokenization_chatglm.py-backup
cp tokenization_chatglm.py chatglm_6b
