How to Install GPT4All with NVIDIA GPU on Ubuntu

Introduction

GPT4All is an open-source project that allows you to run large language models (LLMs) locally on your computer. This means you can use powerful LLMs like ChatGPT without having to rely on cloud services. GPT4All supports a variety of GPUs, including NVIDIA GPUs.

In this guide, we will show you how to install GPT4All and use it with an NVIDIA GPU on Ubuntu.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you will need the following:

• An Ubuntu computer with an NVIDIA GPU
• NVIDIA drivers installed
• Python 3.8 or later

Installation

1. Clone the GPT4All repository

Bash

git clone https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all.git

2. Install the dependencies

Bash

cd gpt4all
pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Download a model

GPT4All supports a variety of models. You can find a list of available models on the GPT4All website. For this example, we will download the Llama 7B model.

Bash

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/gpt4all/models/llama-7b-hf.zip
unzip llama-7b-hf.zip

Running GPT4All

Now you can run GPT4All using the following command:

Bash

python gpt4all/example.py --model llama-7b-hf

This will start a simple text-based chat interface. You can type in a prompt and GPT4All will generate a response.

Using GPT4All with GPU

To use GPT4All with GPU, you will need to use the GPT4AllGPU class. The following code snippet shows how to do this:

Python

from nomic.gpt4all import GPT4AllGPU

# Load the model
model = GPT4AllGPU("llama-7b-hf")

# Generate a response
prompt = "What is your favorite color?"
response = model.generate(prompt)

print(response)

This code will generate a response to the prompt “What is your favorite color?”. The response will be generated using the Llama 7B model on the GPU.

Conclusion

GPT4All is a powerful tool that allows you to run LLMs locally on your computer. By using GPT4All with GPU, you can take advantage of the increased performance of GPUs to generate even more realistic and creative responses.
