Text Generation WebUI

Text Generation Web UI is a Gradio web UI for Large Language Models that offers three interface modes, multiple model backends, and a dropdown menu for quickly switching between different models. It also features efficient text streaming, multimodal pipelines, and an extensions framework. The software is easy to install and update, and it offers precise instruction templates for chat mode.

Key Features:

1. Three interface modes: default (two columns), notebook, and chat

2. Multiple model backends: transformers, llama.cpp, ExLlama, ExLlamaV2, AutoGPTQ, GPTQ-for-LLaMa, CTransformers

3. Dropdown menu for quickly switching between different models

4. LoRA: load and unload LoRAs on the fly, train a new LoRA using QLoRA

5. Precise instruction templates for chat mode, including Llama-2-chat, Alpaca, Vicuna, WizardLM, StableLM, and many others

6. 4-bit, 8-bit, and CPU inference through the transformers library

7. Use llama.cpp models with transformers samplers (llamacpp_HF loader)

8. Multimodal pipelines, including LLaVA and MiniGPT-4

9. Extensions framework

10. Custom chat characters

11. Very efficient text streaming

12. Markdown output with LaTeX rendering, to use for instance with GALACTICA

13. API, including endpoints for websocket streaming

Use Cases: Text Generation Web UI can be effectively utilized in situations where large language models are needed for text generation, such as chatbots, content creation, and language translation. It is also useful for researchers and developers who need to experiment with different models and backends.

Text Generation Web UI is a powerful tool for text generation that offers a wide range of features and capabilities. Its ease of use and flexibility make it an ideal choice for anyone who needs to work with large language models. With its precise instruction templates for chat mode, multiple model backends, and efficient text streaming, Text Generation Web UI is a must-have tool for anyone working in the field of text generation.
