Attempting to pass model params to ExLlama on startup causes an AttributeError

[InconsolableCellist]

Summary

It appears that self.model_config is None in ExLlama's class.py (https://github.com/0cc4m/KoboldAI/blob/exllama/modeling/inference_models/exllama/class.py#L423), and is assumed to exist when you get to that code via passing in --model_parameters.

Additionally, play.sh has an issue with parsing JSON use space as an IFS, which is how the help model param tells you to format your JSON.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Attempt to start with something like the following, which attempts to set model_parameters: /play.sh --host --model airoboros-l2-70b-gpt4-2.0 --model_backend ExLlama --model_parameters "{'0_Layers':35,'1_Layers':45,'model_ctx':4096}"

Actual Behavior:

Output:

Expected Behavior:

The model parameters can be set at startup

Environment:

$ git remote -v

origin  https://github.com/0cc4m/KoboldAI.git (push)

$ git status

Additionally, the following change should be made in play.sh:

$ git diff play.sh
  diff --git a/play.sh b/play.sh
  index 8ce7b781..3e88ae28 100755

So that you can pass in JSON as the model params with spaces between the KV pairs, as the help parameter instructs you:

$ ./play.sh --host --model airoboros-l2-70b-gpt4-2.0 --model_backend ExLlama --model_parameters help

I've faced the same situation, but I was able to get it working without using the model_backend and model path parameters. Instead, I did it manually through the web interface menu to open the model. and of course I selected the ExLlama backend on its menu.

[GrennKren]

Nvm.. I figured out a way. The issue with self.model_config.device_map.layers , model_config being None is because it was never initialized from the beginning. The only place where it gets initialized is in the is_valid() function within the KoboldAI\modeling\inference_models\exllama\class.py file. This is_valid() function is called when a user opens the model through the web interface menu.

To fix this, I made a small change to the get_requested_parameters() function in the class.py file. I added the following line at the very beginning:

if not self.model_config:
    self.model_config = ExLlamaConfig(os.path.join(model_path, "config.json"))

However, it turns out there was one more thing that needed to be changed within the same function. I removed the square brackets from

"default": [layer_count if i == 0 else 0]

and changed it to

"default": layer_count if i == 0 else 0

This is needed because in the set_input_parameters() function still in class.py file, on the line:

for i, l in enumerate(layers):
    if l > 0:

that would treat it as a list instead of an integer.
