LangChain + Falcon-40B-Instruct on RunPod with Text Generation Inference

Today, I will show you how to operate Falcon-40B-Instruct, currently ranked as the best open LLM according to the Open LLM Leaderboard

We will be running Falcon on a service called RunPod.

For hardware, we are going to use 2x NVIDIA A100 80GB GPUs.

To fully utilize the GPUs, we will use HuggingFace's Text Generation Inference. They use it in production to power LLMs widgets. I encourage you to get familiar with its features to get an idea of what you might need.

We are mounting 195Gi of storage to the /data directory. This will allow us to stop and start the pod when we need it. When the pod is stopped you will pay only for the storage.

For prompting we are going to use LangChain, which has HuggingFaceTextGenInference class.

We will ask LLM to generate responses for 50 prompts. We will then measure the time it takes to get responses. Then we will count total_tokens (the sum of tokens in all the responses and calculate the tokens_per_second  metric to get an idea about E2E performance.

Note: you can optimize this metric by adding more VRAM, passing different parameters to LLM, and the text-generation-inference server.

Then we are displaying what we generated with some markdown.

After you are done don't forget to stop and terminate the pod. And to be 100% certain check your RunPod console to make sure that you don't have any non-terminated pods.

The code is listed below and in a Colab.

Write a letter from the perspective of an old, forgotten book in a dusty library.

Dear Reader, I am an old, forgotten book in a dusty library. I have been here for years, collecting dust and waiting for someone to pick me up and read me. I have so many stories to tell, so many adventures to share, but no one seems to notice me anymore. I feel like I am slowly fading away, my pages yellowing and my spine cracking.
