# SOLAR
In this directory, you will find examples on how you could apply IPEX-LLM INT4 optimizations on SOLAR models on [Intel GPUs](../../../README.md). For illustration purposes, we utilize the [upstage/SOLAR-10.7B-Instruct-v1.0](https://huggingface.co/upstage/SOLAR-10.7B-Instruct-v1.0) as a reference SOLAR model.
## 0. Requirements
To run these examples with IPEX-LLM on Intel GPUs, we have some recommended requirements for your machine, please refer to [here](../../../README.md#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 SOLAR model to predict the next N tokens using `generate()` API, with IPEX-LLM INT4 optimizations on Intel GPUs.
### 1. Install
#### 1.1 Installation on Linux
We suggest using conda to manage environment:
```bash
conda create -n llm python=3.11
conda activate llm
# below command will install intel_extension_for_pytorch==2.1.10+xpu as default
pip install --pre --upgrade ipex-llm[xpu] --extra-index-url https://pytorch-extension.intel.com/release-whl/stable/xpu/us/
```
#### 1.2 Installation on Windows
We suggest using conda to manage environment:
```bash
conda create -n llm python=3.11 libuv
conda activate llm
# below command will install intel_extension_for_pytorch==2.1.10+xpu as default
pip install --pre --upgrade ipex-llm[xpu] --extra-index-url https://pytorch-extension.intel.com/release-whl/stable/xpu/us/
```
### 2. Configures OneAPI environment variables for Linux
> [!NOTE]
> Skip this step if you are running on Windows.
This is a required step on Linux for APT or offline installed oneAPI. Skip this step for PIP-installed oneAPI.
```bash
source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
```
### 3. Runtime Configurations
For optimal performance, it is recommended to set several environment variables. Please check out the suggestions based on your device.
#### 3.1 Configurations for Linux
For Intel Arc™ A-Series Graphics and Intel Data Center GPU Flex Series
```bash
export USE_XETLA=OFF
export SYCL_PI_LEVEL_ZERO_USE_IMMEDIATE_COMMANDLISTS=1
export SYCL_CACHE_PERSISTENT=1
```
 
For Intel Data Center GPU Max Series
```bash
export LD_PRELOAD=${LD_PRELOAD}:${CONDA_PREFIX}/lib/libtcmalloc.so
export SYCL_PI_LEVEL_ZERO_USE_IMMEDIATE_COMMANDLISTS=1
export SYCL_CACHE_PERSISTENT=1
export ENABLE_SDP_FUSION=1
```
> Note: Please note that `libtcmalloc.so` can be installed by `conda install -c conda-forge -y gperftools=2.10`.
 
For Intel iGPU
```bash
export SYCL_CACHE_PERSISTENT=1
```
 
#### 3.2 Configurations for Windows
For Intel iGPU and Intel Arc™ A-Series Graphics
```cmd
set SYCL_CACHE_PERSISTENT=1
```
 
> [!NOTE]
> For the first time that each model runs on Intel iGPU/Intel Arc™ A300-Series or Pro A60, it may take several minutes to compile.
### 4. Running examples
```bash
python ./generate.py --repo-id-or-model-path REPO_ID_OR_MODEL_PATH --prompt PROMPT --n-predict N_PREDICT
```
Arguments info:
- `--repo-id-or-model-path REPO_ID_OR_MODEL_PATH`: argument defining the huggingface repo id for the SOLAR model (e.g `upstage/SOLAR-10.7B-Instruct-v1.0`) to be downloaded, or the path to the huggingface checkpoint folder. It is default to be `'upstage/SOLAR-10.7B-Instruct-v1.0'`.
- `--prompt PROMPT`: argument defining the prompt to be infered (with integrated prompt format for chat). It is default to be `'What is AI?'`.
- `--n-predict N_PREDICT`: argument defining the max number of tokens to predict. It is default to be `32`.
