- vLLM
How to use bigscience/bloom with vLLM:
Install from pip and serve model
# Install vLLM from pip: pip install vllm # Start the vLLM server: vllm serve "bigscience/bloom" # Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API): curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/completions" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data '{ "model": "bigscience/bloom", "prompt": "Once upon a time,", "max_tokens": 512, "temperature": 0.5 }'Use Docker
docker model run hf.co/bigscience/bloom

Model keeps downloading

The model keeps downloading over and over again
These are the only lines of code I've run:
from transformers import AutoTokenizer,AutoModelForCausalLM
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bigscience/bloom")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("bigscience/bloom", device_map="auto",
torch_dtype="auto")```

This is expected. The model is 350gb so we actually save it in shards, seperate smaller files. So you have to download all the shards to get it working.
Ah, didn't read the model size. Thanks
