Andrew Phillips 436ce752da Support more common tool variables in templates (tools, message.tool_calls) (#308)
* Add non-JSON version of `tools` and `functions` to `template_vars`.

Increase the compatibility with VLLM templates which use a non-JSON tools object.

* Add list of tool template variables to the documentation

* Use Jinja templates to provide `tools_json` and `functions_json`

This should be functionally equivelant, but the JSON won't be produced
unless it's needed.

* Make message.tool_calls match the JSON from ToolCallProcessor

* Log something when generating tool calls

* Add template for Qwen QwQ 32b

* Only log if tool calls have been detected

* API: Fix tool call variable assignments

Jinja functions do not run when variables are called. Use json.dumps
instead. In addition, log the request ID when stating that a tool
call was fired.

* Add `ToolCallProcessor.dump()` to get the list of processed dicts

* Remove qwen_qwq_32b.jinja

This will be added to the following repository at a later date:
https://github.com/theroyallab/llm-prompt-templates

TabbyAPI

Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12 License: AGPL v3 Discord Server

Developer facing API documentation

Support on Ko-Fi

Important

In addition to the README, please read the Wiki page for information about getting started!

Note

Need help? Join the Discord Server and get the Tabby role. Please be nice when asking questions.

Note

Want to run GGUF models? Take a look at YALS, TabbyAPI's sister project.

A FastAPI based application that allows for generating text using an LLM (large language model) using the Exllamav2 backend

TabbyAPI is also the official API backend server for ExllamaV2.

Disclaimer

This project is marked as rolling release. There may be bugs and changes down the line. Please be aware that you might need to reinstall dependencies if needed.

TabbyAPI is a hobby project made for a small amount of users. It is not meant to run on production servers. For that, please look at other solutions that support those workloads.

Features

  • OpenAI compatible API
  • Loading/unloading models
  • HuggingFace model downloading
  • Embedding model support
  • JSON schema + Regex + EBNF support
  • AI Horde support
  • Speculative decoding via draft models
  • Multi-lora with independent scaling (ex. a weight of 0.9)
  • Inbuilt proxy to override client request parameters/samplers
  • Flexible Jinja2 template engine for chat completions that conforms to HuggingFace

And much more. If something is missing here, PR it in!

Supported Model Types

TabbyAPI uses Exllamav2 as a powerful and fast backend for model inference, loading, etc. Therefore, the following types of models are supported:

  • Exl2 (Highly recommended)

  • GPTQ

  • FP16 (using Exllamav2's loader)

In addition, TabbyAPI supports parallel batching using paged attention for Nvidia Ampere GPUs and higher.
