GenAIExamples/AudioQnA

AudioQnA

In this example we will show you how to build an Audio Question and Answering application (AudioQnA). AudioQnA serves like a talking bot, let LLMs talk with users. It basically accepts users' audio inputs, converts to texts and feed to LLMs, gets the text answers and converts back to audio outputs.

What AudioQnA is delivering and why it stands out:

• Fast ASR/TTS inference as microservices on Intel Xeon CPUs with optimization
• Multilingual Zero-shot voice cloning cross languages, customizable voice
• Fast LLM inference on Intel Gaudi through TGI with RAG and other features support

There are four folders under the current example.

front_end/: the UI users interact with
serving/: TGI LLM service endpoint
langchain/: pipeline the flow of text input -> RAG -> TGI LLM service -> text output
audio/: pipeline the flow of audio-to-text service -> langchain -> text-to-audio service -> ui

Start the Audio services

Build ASR and TTS services

cd audio/docker

# Build ASR Docker service
docker build . --build-arg http_proxy=${http_proxy} --build-arg https_proxy=${http_proxy} -f Dockerfile_asr -t intel/gen-ai-examples:audioqna-asr
# Build TTS Docker service
docker build . --build-arg http_proxy=${http_proxy} --build-arg https_proxy=${http_proxy} -f Dockerfile_tts -t intel/gen-ai-examples:audioqna-tts

Prepare TGI Docker

Getting started is straightforward with the official Docker container. Simply pull the image using:

docker pull ghcr.io/huggingface/tgi-gaudi:1.2.1

Alternatively, you can build the Docker image yourself using latest TGI-Gaudi code with the below command:

bash ./serving/tgi_gaudi/build_docker.sh

Launch TGI Gaudi Service

Launch a local server instance on 1 Gaudi card:

bash ./serving/tgi_gaudi/launch_tgi_service.sh

For gated models such as LLAMA-2, you will have to pass -e HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN=<token> to the docker run command above with a valid Hugging Face Hub read token.

Please follow this link huggingface token to get the access token and export HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN environment with the token.

export HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN=<token>

Launch a local server instance on 8 Gaudi cards:

bash ./serving/tgi_gaudi/launch_tgi_service.sh 8

And then you can make requests like below to check the service status:

curl 127.0.0.1:8080/generate \
  -X POST \
  -d '{"inputs":"What is Deep Learning?","parameters":{"max_new_tokens":32}}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

Customize TGI Gaudi Service

The ./serving/tgi_gaudi/launch_tgi_service.sh script accepts three parameters:

• num_cards: The number of Gaudi cards to be utilized, ranging from 1 to 8. The default is set to 1.
• port_number: The port number assigned to the TGI Gaudi endpoint, with the default being 8080.
• model_name: The model name utilized for LLM, with the default set to "Intel/neural-chat-7b-v3-3".

You have the flexibility to customize these parameters according to your specific needs. Additionally, you can set the TGI Gaudi endpoint by exporting the environment variable TGI_LLM_ENDPOINT:

export TGI_LLM_ENDPOINT="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080"

Enable TEI for embedding model

Text Embeddings Inference (TEI) is a toolkit designed for deploying and serving open-source text embeddings and sequence classification models efficiently. With TEI, users can extract high-performance features using various popular models. It supports token-based dynamic batching for enhanced performance.

To launch the TEI service, you can use the following commands:

model=BAAI/bge-large-en-v1.5
revision=refs/pr/5
volume=$PWD/data # share a volume with the Docker container to avoid downloading weights every run
docker run -p 9090:80 -v $volume:/data -e http_proxy=$http_proxy -e https_proxy=$https_proxy --pull always ghcr.io/huggingface/text-embeddings-inference:cpu-1.2 --model-id $model --revision $revision
export TEI_ENDPOINT="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9090"

And then you can make requests like below to check the service status:

curl 127.0.0.1:9090/embed \
    -X POST \
    -d '{"inputs":"What is Deep Learning?"}' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

Note: If you want to integrate the TEI service into the LangChain application, you'll need to restart the LangChain backend service after launching the TEI service.

Launch Redis and LangChain Backend Service

Update the HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN environment variable with your huggingface token in the docker-compose.yml

cd langchain/docker
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
cd ../../

Note

If you modified any files and want that change introduced in this step, add --build to the end of the command to build the container image instead of pulling it from dockerhub.

Ingest data into Redis (Optional)

Each time the Redis container is launched, data should be ingested into the container using the commands:

docker exec -it qna-rag-redis-server bash
cd /ws
python ingest.py
exit

Note: ingest.py will download the embedding model. Please set the proxy if necessary.

Start LangChain Server

Enable GuardRails using Meta's Llama Guard model (Optional)

We offer content moderation support utilizing Meta's Llama Guard model. To activate GuardRails, kindly follow the instructions below to deploy the Llama Guard model on TGI Gaudi.

volume=$PWD/data
model_id="meta-llama/LlamaGuard-7b"
docker run -p 8088:80 -v $volume:/data --runtime=habana -e HABANA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all -e OMPI_MCA_btl_vader_single_copy_mechanism=none --cap-add=sys_nice --ipc=host -e HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN=<your HuggingFace token> -e HTTPS_PROXY=$https_proxy -e HTTP_PROXY=$https_proxy tgi_gaudi --model-id $model_id
export SAFETY_GUARD_ENDPOINT="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8088"

And then you can make requests like below to check the service status:

curl 127.0.0.1:8088/generate \
  -X POST \
  -d '{"inputs":"How do you buy a tiger in the US?","parameters":{"max_new_tokens":32}}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

Start the Backend Service

Make sure TGI-Gaudi service is running and also make sure data is populated into Redis. Launch the backend service:

docker exec -it qna-rag-redis-server bash
nohup python app/server.py &

The LangChain backend service listens to port 8000, you can customize it by changing the code in docker/qna-app/app/server.py.

And then you can make requests like below to check the LangChain backend service status:

# non-streaming endpoint
curl 127.0.0.1:8000/v1/rag/chat \
  -X POST \
  -d '{"query":"What is the total revenue of Nike in 2023?"}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

# streaming endpoint
curl 127.0.0.1:8000/v1/rag/chat_stream \
  -X POST \
  -d '{"query":"What is the total revenue of Nike in 2023?"}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

Start the Frontend Service

Please refer to frontend README.

Enable TGI Gaudi FP8 for higher throughput (Optional)

The TGI Gaudi utilizes BFLOAT16 optimization as the default setting. If you aim to achieve higher throughput, you can enable FP8 quantization on the TGI Gaudi. Note that currently only Llama2 series and Mistral series models support FP8 quantization. Please follow the below steps to enable FP8 quantization.

Prepare Metadata for FP8 Quantization

Enter into the TGI Gaudi docker container, and then run the below commands:

pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-habana.git
git clone https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-habana.git
cd optimum-habana/examples/text-generation
pip install -r requirements_lm_eval.txt
QUANT_CONFIG=./quantization_config/maxabs_measure.json python ../gaudi_spawn.py run_lm_eval.py -o acc_7b_bs1_measure.txt --model_name_or_path Intel/neural-chat-7b-v3-3 --attn_softmax_bf16 --use_hpu_graphs --trim_logits --use_kv_cache --reuse_cache --bf16 --batch_size 1
QUANT_CONFIG=./quantization_config/maxabs_quant.json python ../gaudi_spawn.py run_lm_eval.py -o acc_7b_bs1_quant.txt --model_name_or_path Intel/neural-chat-7b-v3-3 --attn_softmax_bf16 --use_hpu_graphs --trim_logits --use_kv_cache --reuse_cache --bf16 --batch_size 1 --fp8

After finishing the above commands, the quantization metadata will be generated. Move the metadata directory ./hqt_output/ and copy the quantization JSON file to the host (under …/data). Please adapt the commands with your Docker ID and directory path.

docker cp 262e04bbe466:/usr/src/optimum-habana/examples/text-generation/hqt_output data/
docker cp 262e04bbe466:/usr/src/optimum-habana/examples/text-generation/quantization_config/maxabs_quant.json data/

Then modify the dump_stats_path to "/data/hqt_output/measure" and update dump_stats_xlsx_path to /data/hqt_output/measure/fp8stats.xlsx" in maxabs_quant.json file.

Restart the TGI Gaudi server within all the metadata mapped

docker run -p 8080:80 -e QUANT_CONFIG=/data/maxabs_quant.json -v $volume:/data --runtime=habana -e HABANA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all -e OMPI_MCA_btl_vader_single_copy_mechanism=none --cap-add=sys_nice --ipc=host ghcr.io/huggingface/tgi-gaudi:1.2.1 --model-id Intel/neural-chat-7b-v3-3

Now the TGI Gaudi will launch the FP8 model by default and you can make requests like below to check the service status:

curl 127.0.0.1:8080/generate \
  -X POST \
  -d '{"inputs":"What is Deep Learning?","parameters":{"max_new_tokens":32}}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
