Generate text with distributed **Llama 3.1** (up to 405B), **Mixtral** (8x22B), **Falcon** (40B+) or **BLOOM** (176B) and fine‑tune them for your own tasks &mdash; right from your desktop computer or Google Colab:

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from petals import AutoDistributedModelForCausalLM

# Choose any model available at https://health.petals.dev
model_name = "meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-405B-Instruct"

# Connect to a distributed network hosting model layers
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoDistributedModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)

# Run the model as if it were on your computer
inputs = tokenizer("A cat sat", return_tensors="pt")["input_ids"]
outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=5)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))  # A cat sat on a mat...
```

🦙 **Want to run Llama?** [Request access](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-405B-Instruct) to its weights, then run `huggingface-cli login` in the terminal before loading the model. Or just try it in our [chatbot app](https://chat.petals.dev).

🔏 **Privacy.** Your data will be processed with the help of other people in the public swarm. Learn more about privacy [here](https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/petals/wiki/Security,-privacy,-and-AI-safety). For sensitive data, you can set up a [private swarm](https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/petals/wiki/Launch-your-own-swarm) among people you trust.

## Connect your GPU and increase Petals capacity

Petals is a community-run system &mdash; we rely on people sharing their GPUs. You can help serving one of the [available models](https://health.petals.dev) or host a new model from 🤗 [Model Hub](https://huggingface.co/models)!

As an example, here is how to host a part of [Llama 3.1 (405B) Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-405B-Instruct) on your GPU:

🦙 **Want to host Llama?** [Request access](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-405B-Instruct) to its weights, then run `huggingface-cli login` in the terminal before loading the model.

🐧 **Linux + Anaconda.** Run these commands for NVIDIA GPUs (or follow [this](https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/petals/wiki/Running-on-AMD-GPU) for AMD):

```bash
conda install pytorch pytorch-cuda=11.7 -c pytorch -c nvidia
pip install git+https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/petals
python -m petals.cli.run_server meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-405B-Instruct
```

🪟 **Windows + WSL.** Follow [this guide](https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/petals/wiki/Run-Petals-server-on-Windows) on our Wiki.

🐋 **Docker.** Run our [Docker](https://www.docker.com) image for NVIDIA GPUs (or follow [this](https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/petals/wiki/Running-on-AMD-GPU) for AMD):

```bash
sudo docker run -p 31330:31330 --ipc host --gpus all --volume petals-cache:/cache --rm \
    learningathome/petals:main \
    python -m petals.cli.run_server --port 31330 meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-405B-Instruct
```

🍏 **macOS + Apple M1/M2 GPU.** Install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/), then run these commands:

```bash
brew install python
python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/petals
python3 -m petals.cli.run_server meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-405B-Instruct
```

📚 &nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/petals/wiki/FAQ:-Frequently-asked-questions#running-a-server">Learn more</a> (how to use multiple GPUs, start the server on boot, etc.)

🔒 **Security.** Hosting a server does not allow others to run custom code on your computer. Learn more [here](https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/petals/wiki/Security,-privacy,-and-AI-safety).

💬 **Any questions?** Ping us in [our Discord](https://discord.gg/X7DgtxgMhc)!

🏆 **Thank you!** Once you load and host 10+ blocks, we can show your name or link on the [swarm monitor](https://health.petals.dev) as a way to say thanks. You can specify them with `--public_name YOUR_NAME`.

## How does it work?

- You load a small part of the model, then join a [network](https://health.petals.dev) of people serving the other parts. Single‑batch inference runs at up to **6 tokens/sec** for **Llama 2** (70B) and up to **4 tokens/sec** for **Falcon** (180B) — enough for [chatbots](https://chat.petals.dev) and interactive apps.
- You can employ any fine-tuning and sampling methods, execute custom paths through the model, or see its hidden states. You get the comforts of an API with the flexibility of **PyTorch** and **🤗 Transformers**.
