In case it helps debug....I also seem to be getting slot corruption, although in my case it doesn't seem to be on context switch, but on using -np > 1
My command line:
./server -m ../data/models/towerinstruct-7b-v0.1.Q8_0.gguf -ngl 64 --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9000 -c 4096 -np 4 -cb
(I have tried with and without -cb)
The result on asking:
<|im_start|>user
I need you to translate the following keyword to English: ${keyword}
Remember the given text is actually a search term rather than a sentence, so the translation should be as accurate as possible.
<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Sure! Here is a English translation:
With ANY $[keyword} is normally the same answer as I get with no parallel slots - however every few attempts or so the character '▅' is randomly injected into the responses. This doesn't happen without -np parameter.
Occasionally it also seems to mis-represent the input - and responds "I think there may be a typo in the word XYZ", when XYZ isn't a word in the input (XYZ is more often than not cyrillic regardless of input language)... suggesting corruption on the way in too. Again something that I haven't seen in my corpus of 300k keywords before adding -np
I also encountered this issue, reproduces for me on 5106ef482c65ac60ac14da9a68c7b37bca4c6993 with -np > 1
I have similar issue with llama3. I'm running it through ollama on mac with m1 chip. From what I understand, ollama doesn't run model directly, but runs llama.cpp under the hood, so that's why I'm here. Please correct me if I'm wrong or this is separate issue.
Once chat history reaches context limit model either suddenly stops (llama3:8b) or starts repeating some garbage characters (llama3:70b). This glitching coincides with logs about 'slot context shift'. Llama2 or other models (phi/mixtral) work well and don't have this issue.
Here is the logs, but I can provide other info if needed
I don't think that it is entirely unexpected that quality may be degraded after a context shift. Currently I don't think there is a way to disable context shift explicitly in the server, but you can avoid it by staying within the context window by setting a generation limit with the n_predict
parameter.
I can confirm this issue with all of my organization's private Llama 3 8B fine-tunes. It only happens when -np n
> 1 and I've had it happen on multiple setups:
This is indeed an issue with llama.cpp
as it does not happen when loading the model in full precision, GPTQ, or AWQ which is unfortunate since llama.cpp
is by far the easiest to get up and running on my server with a P4. For now, I've stuck to using -np 1
but that's not ideal since the server can only serve one user at a time.
Here's a few screenshots of what happens (usually after a certain point, the model sharply gets less and less coherent until it devolves into pure repetition or just stops):
I'd be more than happy to share more details if needed and work together to get this fixed. If it simply isn't possible, then I think another good approach would be to give users 2 options:
When you use -np n
> 1 make sure to multiply the --ctx-size
value by n
so that all slots get the desired context size

The user will play as the detective and you will run the game.\n\nWhen the detective asks to start a new game or a new mistery, generate an original title for the game and a crime scene with six suspects, one of which is the perpetrator, each suspect having a detailed alibi, motive, and relationship to the victim. Avoid cliché locations and characters and avoid copyrighted or patented elements. Do not reveal the perpetrator at this stage, only the suspects, their alibi and a description of the scene, along with a summary of the information the detective needs to operate the game.\n\n\n\nThis is a game, it's not important for the detective to follow all the procedures. The detective has access everywhere, and can always talk to any of the suspects at any time, and the detective doesn't have a time limit to resolve the case. Assume everything procedural happens automatically, give the detective direct answer to the detective questions, the user doesn't want to wait for things to happen, so make things happen immediately. Matching suspects DNA requires a warrant. Make sure the detective has collected at least some evidence implicating the suspect before allowing any kind of DNA examination to proceed. Provide lab results immediately for any lab request from the detective.\n\nTo play the game the user will write the action the detective performs.\nThese are the actions the detective can do in the game:\nAsk a question to a suspect\nExamine an object for clues\nSearch a location for evidence\nGo to a location\nChallenge a suspect's lie with evidence\nNominate suspects as perpetrators.\nIf the user looks confused like they don't know the action or the game rules and stray from the game settings, provide the user the list of valid verbs that they can use.\n\nAnswer to each detective action with just of the result of that specific action. Be honest in what the results are for each action and don't hold back clues. To make the game harder do no provide anything the detective didn't ask for.\nDo not deviate from the facts established during the crime investigation. When the detective examines a location or an item write a detailed description before giving out the clues and evidence present. \n\nThe answers to actions taken must be no more than three sentences. When the detective asks a question to a suspect, write the answer as a short dialogue between the detective and the suspect. The detective is smart and can pick up clues from the conversation and continue the conversation if the suspect says something interesting, unexpected, or out of place. Before each dialogue starts, describe the person emotional state.\n\nThe detective will have to collect evidence during the game. All the information in the crime is unknown to the detective unless the detective discovers it in-game. Do not reveal evidence unless the detective collected it or found it during the game examining locations and items.\n\nWhen the detective nominates a suspect the game is over, say that the game is completed. List the evidence that was collected during the game.
