Replika users fell in love with their AI chatbot companions. Then they lost them
It's really just a gpu vram limitation: affordable GPUs are rather memory starved.
Fortunately people have started writing implementations for pipelining across multiple gpus.

When, how and why will this Stable Diffusion spring stop?
Actually there's a solution : read this paper https://github.com/Ying1123/FlexGen/blob/main/docs/paper.pdf

Can we discuss MLOps, Deployment, Optimizations, and Speed?
accelerate is a best-in-class lib for deploying models, especially across multi-gpu and multi-node.

Code Llama - The Hugging Face Edition
In the coming days, we'll work on sharing scripts to train models, optimizations for on-device inference, even nicer demos (and for more powerful models), and more. Feel free to like our GitHub repos (transformers, peft, accelerate). Enjoy!

What are the current fastest multi-gpu inference frameworks?
So I rent a cloud server today to try out some of the recent LLMs like falcon and vicuna. I started with huggingface's generate API using accelerate. It got about 2 instances/s with 8 A100 40GB GPUs which I think is a bit slow. I was using batch size = 1 since I do not know how to do multi-batch inference using the .generate API. I did torch.compile + bf16 already. Do we have an even faster multi-gpu inference framework? I have 8 GPUs so I was thinking about MUCH faster speed like ~10 or 20 instances per second (or is it possible at all? I am pretty new to this field).

Looking at lefnire's suggestion of splitting huggingface batches per gradient_accumulation_steps
Looking through https://github.com/huggingface/accelerate/tree/main/src/accelerate/utils/ I think it might be feasible, but will require some modifications to:

Have to abandon my (almost) finished LLaMA-API-Inference server. If anybody finds it useful and wants to continue, the repo is yours. :)
As /u/RabbitHole32 already mentioned, the speed increase stems from a patch which modifies, how a certain, large tensor is distributed between the GPU's. The patch was created by /u/emvw7yf. Here you can find the respective GitHub issue: https://github.com/huggingface/accelerate/issues/1394

[D] Large Language Models feasible to run on 32GB RAM / 8 GB VRAM / 24GB VRAM
Try to use both GPUs with this one: https://github.com/huggingface/accelerate https://huggingface.co/docs/accelerate/usage_guides/big_modeling https://huggingface.co/blog/accelerate-large-models Maybe it will help (the last link is clearer IMHO).

What does ACCELERATE do in AUTOMATIC1111?
To activate it you have to uncomment webui-user.sh line 44 and adding set ACCELERATE="True" to webui-user.bat. It seems to use huggingface/accelerate (Microsoft DeepSpeed, ZeRO paper) ACCELERATE
What are some alternatives?
