LoLLMs Server provides a Flask-based API and WebSocket interface for generating text using various large language models. It's designed for developers and researchers to easily integrate LLM capabilities into applications, offering features like multiple personalities, real-time generation, and local data handling.

How It Works

The server acts as a unified interface to different LLM bindings, allowing users to select and load models from Hugging Face or local storage. It supports multiple "personalities" to influence generation style and uses WebSockets for real-time communication, enabling interactive chat applications. The safe_generate method handles context window management, preventing overflow.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install via pip: pip install --upgrade lollms or pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/ParisNeo/lollms_legacy.git
• GPU support requires CUDA, installable via Conda: conda create --name lollms python=3.10, conda activate lollms, conda install -c anaconda cudatoolkit.
• Configuration is done via lollms-settings.
• Models are loaded from Hugging Face URLs or local paths.
• Official documentation and examples are available in the repository.

Highlighted Details

• Supports multiple LLM bindings (e.g., llama_cpp_official).
• Enables custom personalities for varied text generation styles.
• Offers real-time text generation via WebSockets.
• Allows sending files to personalities for context.
• Can run on multiple nodes for distributed generation.
