Thanks for checking out the KoboldAI Client!

[ABOUT]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a test release of a quickly-assembled front-end for multiple local & remote AI models.
|
||
|
|
The purpose is to provide a smoother, web-based UI experience than the various command-line AI apps.
|
||
|
|
I'm pushing this out now that the major quality-of-life fearures have been roughed in (generate,
|
||
|
|
undo, edit-by-line, memory, save/load, etc), which means there will probably be bugs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This application uses Transformers (https://huggingface.co/transformers/) to interact with the AI models
|
||
|
|
via Tensorflow. Tensorflow has CUDA/GPU support for shorter generation times, but I do not have anything
|
||
|
|
in this test release to set up CUDA/GPU support on your system. If you have a high-end GPU with
|
||
|
|
sufficient VRAM to run your model of choice, see (https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu) for
|
||
|
|
instructions on enabling GPU support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Transformers/Tensorflow can still be used on CPU if you do not have high-end hardware, but generation
|
||
|
|
times will be much longer. Alternatively, KoboldAI also supports InferKit (https://inferkit.com/).
|
||
|
|
This will allow you to send requests to a remotely hosted Megatron-11b model for fast generation times
|
||
|
|
on any hardware. This is a paid service, but signing up for a free account will let you generate up
|
||
|
|
to 40,000 characters, and the free account will work with KoboldAI.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[SETUP]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Install Python. (https://www.python.org/downloads/)
|
||
|
|
(Development was done on 3.7, I have not tested newer versions)
|
||
|
|
2. When installing Python make sure "pip" is selected under Optional features.
|
||
|
|
(If pip isn't working, run the installer again and choose Modify to choose Optional fearures.)
|
||
|
|
3. Run install_requirements.bat.
|
||
|
|
(This will install the necessary python packages via pip)
|
||
|
|
4. Run play.bat
|
||
|
|
5. Select a model from the list. Flask will start and give you a message that it's ready to connect.
|
||
|
|
6. Open a web browser and enter http://127.0.0.1:5000/
|
||
|

[FOR INFERKIT INTEGRATION]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you would like to use InferKit's Megatron-11b model, sign up for a free account on their website.
|
||
|
|
https://inferkit.com/
|
||
|
|
After verifying your email address, sign in and click on your profile picture in the top right.
|
||
|
|
In the drop down menu, click "API Key".
|
||
|
|
On the API Key page, click "Reveal API Key" and copy it. When starting KoboldAI and selecting the
|
||
|
|
InferKit API model, you will be asked to paste your API key into the terminal. After entering,
|
||
|
|
the API key will be stored in the client.settings file for future use.
|
||
|
|
You can see your remaining budget for generated characters on their website under "Billing & Usage".
