+# CodeShell-7B
+
+In this directory, you will find examples on how you could apply BigDL-LLM INT4 optimizations on CodeShell models. For illustration purposes, we utilize the [WisdomShell/CodeShell-7B](https://huggingface.co/WisdomShell/CodeShell-7B) as a reference CodeShell model.
+
+> **Note**: If you want to download the Hugging Face *Transformers* model, please refer to [here](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/models-downloading#using-git).
+>
+> BigDL-LLM optimizes the *Transformers* model in INT4 precision at runtime, and thus no explicit conversion is needed.
+
+## Requirements
+To run these examples with BigDL-LLM, we have some recommended requirements for your machine, please refer to [here](../README.md#recommended-requirements) for more information.
+
+## Example: Predict Tokens using `generate()` API
+In the example [generate.py](./generate.py), we show a basic use case for a CodeShell model to predict the next N tokens using `generate()` API, with BigDL-LLM INT4 optimizations.
+### 1. Install
+We suggest using conda to manage the Python environment. For more information about conda installation, please refer to [here](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html#).
+
+After installing conda, create a Python environment for BigDL-LLM:
+```bash
+conda create -n llm python=3.9 # recommend to use Python 3.9
+conda activate llm
+
+pip install --pre --upgrade bigdl-llm[all] # install the latest bigdl-llm nightly build with 'all' option
+```
+
+### 2. Run
+After setting up the Python environment, you could run the example by following steps.
+
+> **Note**: When loading the model in 4-bit, BigDL-LLM converts linear layers in the model into INT4 format. In theory, a *X*B model saved in 16-bit will requires approximately 2*X* GB of memory for loading, and ~0.5*X* GB memory for further inference.
+>
+> Please select the appropriate size of the CodeShell model based on the capabilities of your machine.
+
+#### 2.1 Client
+On client Windows machines, it is recommended to run directly with full utilization of all cores:
+```powershell
+python ./generate.py --prompt 'def print_hello_world():'
+```
+More information about arguments can be found in [Arguments Info](#23-arguments-info) section. The expected output can be found in [Sample Output](#24-sample-output) section.
+
+#### 2.2 Server
+For optimal performance on server, it is recommended to set several environment variables (refer to [here](../README.md#best-known-configuration-on-linux) for more information), and run the example with all the physical cores of a single socket.
+
+E.g. on Linux,
+```bash
+# set BigDL-Nano env variables
+source bigdl-nano-init
+
+# e.g. for a server with 48 cores per socket
+export OMP_NUM_THREADS=48
+numactl -C 0-47 -m 0 python ./generate.py --prompt 'def print_hello_world():'
+```
+More information about arguments can be found in [Arguments Info](#23-arguments-info) section. The expected output can be found in [Sample Output](#24-sample-output) section.
+
+#### 2.3 Arguments Info
+In the example, several arguments can be passed to satisfy your requirements:
+
+- `--repo-id-or-model-path`: str, argument defining the huggingface repo id for the CodeShell model to be downloaded, or the path to the huggingface checkpoint folder. It is default to be `'WisdomShell/CodeShell-7B'`.
+- `--prompt`: str, argument defining the prompt to be inferred (with integrated prompt format for code). It is default to be `def print_hello_world():`.
+- `--n-predict`: int, argument defining the max number of tokens to predict. It is default to be `50`.
+
+#### 2.4 Sample Output
+#### [WisdomShell/CodeShell-7B ](https://huggingface.co/WisdomShell/CodeShell-7B )
+```log
+Inference time: xxxx s
+-------------------- Prompt --------------------
+def print_hello_world():
+-------------------- Output --------------------
+def print_hello_world():
+    print("Hello World")
+
+print_hello_world()
+
+# Function with parameters
+def print_hello_name(name):
+    print("Hello " + name)
+
+print_hello_name("John")
+print
+
+```
