ONNX Runtime generate() API

Run Llama, Phi, Gemma, Mistral with ONNX Runtime.

This API gives you an easy, flexible and performant way of running LLMs on device.

It implements the generative AI loop for ONNX models, including pre and post processing, inference with ONNX Runtime, logits processing, search and sampling, and KV cache management.

You can call a high level generate() method to generate all of the output at once, or stream the output one token at a time.

See documentation at https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/genai.

Support matrix	Supported now	Under development	On the roadmap
Model architectures	Gemma Llama * Mistral + Phi (language + vision) Qwen	Whisper	Stable diffusion
API	Python C# C/C++ Java ^	Objective-C
Platform	Linux Windows Mac ^ Android ^		iOS
Architecture	x86 x64 Arm64 ^
Hardware Acceleration	CUDA DirectML	QNN ROCm	OpenVINO
Features		Interactive decoding Customization (fine-tuning)	Speculative decoding

* The Llama model architecture supports similar model families such as CodeLlama, Vicuna, Yi, and more.

+ The Mistral model architecture supports similar model families such as Zephyr.

^ Requires build from source

Installation

See https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/genai/howto/install

Sample code for Phi-3 in Python

1. Download the model

   huggingface-cli download microsoft/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-onnx --include cpu_and_mobile/cpu-int4-rtn-block-32-acc-level-4/* --local-dir .

2. Install the API

   pip install numpy
   pip install --pre onnxruntime-genai

3. Run the model

   import onnxruntime_genai as og
   
   model = og.Model('cpu_and_mobile/cpu-int4-rtn-block-32-acc-level-4')
   tokenizer = og.Tokenizer(model)
   tokenizer_stream = tokenizer.create_stream()
    
   # Set the max length to something sensible by default,
   # since otherwise it will be set to the entire context length
   search_options = {}
   search_options['max_length'] = 2048
   
   chat_template = '<|user|>\n{input} <|end|>\n<|assistant|>'
   
   text = input("Input: ")
   if not text:
      print("Error, input cannot be empty")
      exit
   
   prompt = f'{chat_template.format(input=text)}'
   
   input_tokens = tokenizer.encode(prompt)
   
   params = og.GeneratorParams(model)
   params.set_search_options(**search_options)
   params.input_ids = input_tokens
   generator = og.Generator(model, params)
   
   print("Output: ", end='', flush=True)
   
   try:
      while not generator.is_done():
        generator.compute_logits()
        generator.generate_next_token()
   
        new_token = generator.get_next_tokens()[0]
        print(tokenizer_stream.decode(new_token), end='', flush=True)
   except KeyboardInterrupt:
       print("  --control+c pressed, aborting generation--")
   
   print()
   del generator
