Transformers issued an important change for the OPT models breaking their compatibility with all older versions. In order for people to be able to use all models on the menu they need 4.20.1 so this is now forced in the dependencies making the update easier.
Transformers 4.20 now requires accelerate to be installed for some of the features we use in KoboldAI. This is now a required dependency for updated users.
Makes transformers 4.20 mandatory in the dependency lists, not because the old versions are no longer supported but because it contains fixes that benefit our users and this makes it easier for them to update to it. If you stick to an older version the OPT and XGLM workarounds we have in place will remain functional, but you miss on the enhancements newer transformers versions bring.
Huggingface's repo is further behind than conda-forge so we will no longer offer it in the installer. The more is loaded from conda-forge the better. The same transformers package will still be installed, but a newer one from conda-forge is now guaranteed.
Allows model creators to customize the welcome message using Markdown and Limited HTML
Existing United users need to run install_requirements..bat again, you can leave the existing dependencies intact.
Updates dependencies, play.sh didn't work properly so removing that for now since manually running aiserver.py is superior on Linux until I can get conda to init inside the script
Allows anyone to easily create a ROCm compatible conda environment. Currently set to the newer transformers, you can edit the github link if you want the finetune one.
