This is the first in many future commits that will overhaul the API to be more robust and concurrent. The model is admin-first where the admin can do anything in-case something goes awry. Previously, calls to long running synchronous background tasks would block the entire API, making it ignore any terminal signals until generation is completed. To fix this, levrage FastAPI's run_in_threadpool to offload the long running tasks to another thread. However, signals to abort the process still kept the background thread running and made the terminal hang. This was due to an issue with Uvicorn not propegating the SIGINT signal across threads in its event loop. To fix this in a catch-all way, run the API processes in a separate thread so the main thread can still kill the process if needed. In addition, make request error logging more robust and refer to the console for full error logs rather than creating a long message on the client-side. Finally, add state checks to see if a model is fully loaded before generating a completion. Signed-off-by: kingbri <bdashore3@proton.me>

Tabbyrole. Please be nice when asking questions.
A FastAPI based application that allows for generating text using an LLM (large language model) using the Exllamav2 backend
Disclaimer
This API is considered as rolling release. There may be bugs and changes down the line. Please be aware that you might need to reinstall dependencies if needed.
Getting Started
Read the Wiki for more information. It contains user-facing documentation for installation, configuration, sampling, API usage, and so much more.
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)
Alternative Loaders/Backends
If you want to use a different model type than the ones listed above, here are some alternative backends with their own APIs:
-
GGUF + GGML - KoboldCPP
-
AWQ - Aphrodite Engine
