# Run Large Language Model on Intel NPU
In this directory, you will find examples on how you could apply IPEX-LLM INT4 or INT8 optimizations on LLM models on [Intel NPUs](../../../README.md). See the table blow for verified models.

## 0. Requirements
To run these examples with IPEX-LLM on Intel NPUs, make sure to install the newest driver version of Intel NPU.
Go to https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/794734/intel-npu-driver-windows.html to download and unzip the driver.
Then go to **Device Manager**, find **Neural Processors** -> **Intel(R) AI Boost**.
Right click and select **Update Driver**. And then manually select the folder unzipped from the driver.
## Example 1: Predict Tokens using `generate()` API
In the example [generate.py](./generate.py), we show a basic use case for a Llama2 model to predict the next N tokens using `generate()` API, with IPEX-LLM INT4 optimizations on Intel NPUs.
### 1. Install
#### 1.1 Installation on Windows
We suggest using conda to manage environment:
```bash
conda create -n llm python=3.10
conda activate llm
# install ipex-llm with 'npu' option
pip install --pre --upgrade ipex-llm[npu]
```
### 2. Runtime Configurations
For optimal performance, it is recommended to set several environment variables. Please check out the suggestions based on your device.
#### 2.1 Configurations for Windows
> [!NOTE]
> For optimal performance, we recommend running code in `conhost` rather than Windows Terminal:
> - Press Win+R and input `conhost`, then press Enter to launch `conhost`.
> - Run following command to use conda in `conhost`. Replace `` with your conda install location.
> ```
> call \Scripts\activate
> ```
**Following envrionment variables are required**:
```cmd
set BIGDL_USE_NPU=1
```
### 3. Running examples
```
python ./generate.py
```
Arguments info:
- `--repo-id-or-model-path REPO_ID_OR_MODEL_PATH`: argument defining the huggingface repo id for the Llama2 model (e.g. `meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf` and `meta-llama/Llama-2-13b-chat-hf`) to be downloaded, or the path to the huggingface checkpoint folder. It is default to be `'meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf'`, and more verified models please see the list in [Verified Models](#verified-models).
- `--prompt PROMPT`: argument defining the prompt to be infered (with integrated prompt format for chat). It is default to be `'Once upon a time, there existed a little girl who liked to have adventures. She wanted to go to places and meet new people, and have fun'`.
- `--n-predict N_PREDICT`: argument defining the max number of tokens to predict. It is default to be `32`.
- `--load_in_low_bit`: argument defining the `load_in_low_bit` format used. It is default to be `sym_int8`, `sym_int4` can also be used.
#### Sample Output

## Example 2: Predict Tokens using `generate()` API using multi processes
In the example [llama2.py](./llama2.py) and [qwen2.py](./qwen2.py), we show an experimental support for a Llama2 / Qwen2 model to predict the next N tokens using `generate()` API, with IPEX-LLM INT4 optimization and fused decoderlayer optimization on Intel NPUs.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> To run Qwen2 and Llama2 with IPEX-LLM on Intel NPUs, we recommend using version **32.0.100.2540** for the Intel NPU.
> 
> Go to https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/794734/825735/intel-npu-driver-windows.html to download and unzip the driver. Then follow the same steps on [Requirements](#0-requirements).

### 3. Running examples
```
# to run Llama-2-7b-chat-hf
python  llama2.py
# to run Qwen2-1.5B-Instruct
python qwen2.py
```
Arguments info:
- `--repo-id-or-model-path REPO_ID_OR_MODEL_PATH`: argument defining the huggingface repo id for the Llama2 model (i.e. `meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf`) to be downloaded, or the path to the huggingface checkpoint folder. It is default to be `'meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf'`.
- `--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`.
- `--max-output-len MAX_OUTPUT_LEN`: Defines the maximum sequence length for both input and output tokens. It is default to be `1024`.
- `--max-prompt-len MAX_PROMPT_LEN`: Defines the maximum number of tokens that the input prompt can contain. It is default to be `512`.
- `--disable-transpose-value-cache`: Disable the optimization of transposing value cache.
### 4. Troubleshooting
If you encounter output problem, please try to disable the optimization of transposing value cache with following command:
```bash
# to run Llama-2-7b-chat-hf
python  llama2.py --disable-transpose-value-cache
# to run Qwen2-1.5B-Instruct
python qwen2.py --disable-transpose-value-cache
```
