## 3ib0n's RKLLM Guide
These models and binaries require an RK3588 board running rknpu driver version 0.9.7 or above

## Steps to reproduce conversion
```shell
# Download and setup miniforge3
curl -L -O "https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh"
bash Miniforge3-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh

# activate the base environment
source ~/miniforge3/bin/activate

# create and activate a python 3.8 environment
conda create -n rknn-llm-1.1.4 python=3.8
conda activate rknn-llm-1.1.4

# clone the lastest rknn-llm toolkit
git clone https://github.com/airockchip/rknn-llm.git

# intstall dependencies for the toolkit
pip install transformers accelerate torchvision rknn-toolkit2==2.2.1
pip install --upgrade torch pillow

# install rkllm
pip install ../../rkllm-toolkit/packages/rkllm_toolkit-1.1.4-cp38-cp38-linux_x86_64.whl

# edit or create a script to export rkllm models
cd rknn-llm/examples/rkllm_multimodal_demo
nano export/export_rkllm.py # update input and output paths 
python export/export_rkllm.py 
```

Example export_rkllm.py modified from https://github.com/airockchip/rknn-llm/blob/main/examples/rkllm_multimodel_demo/export/export_rkllm.py
```python
import os
from rkllm.api import RKLLM
from datasets import load_dataset
from transformers import  AutoTokenizer
from tqdm import tqdm
import torch
from torch import nn

modelpath = "~/models/Qwen/Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct/" ## UPDATE HERE
savepath = './Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct.rkllm' ## UPDATE HERE
llm = RKLLM()

# Load model
# Use 'export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=2' to specify GPU device
ret = llm.load_huggingface(model=modelpath, device='cpu')
if ret != 0:
    print('Load model failed!')
    exit(ret)

# Build model
qparams = None

## Do not use the dataset parameter as we are converting a pure text model, not a multimodal
ret = llm.build(do_quantization=True, optimization_level=1, quantized_dtype='w8a8',
                quantized_algorithm='normal', target_platform='rk3588', num_npu_core=3, extra_qparams=qparams)

if ret != 0:
    print('Build model failed!')
    exit(ret)

# # Export rkllm model
ret = llm.export_rkllm(savepath)
if ret != 0:
    print('Export model failed!')
    exit(ret)
```

## Steps to build and run demo

```shell
# Dwonload the correct toolchain for working with rkllm
# Documentation here: https://github.com/airockchip/rknn-llm/blob/main/doc/Rockchip_RKLLM_SDK_EN_1.1.0.pdf
wget https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu-a/10.2-2020.11/binrel/gcc-arm-10.2-2020.11-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu.tar.xz
tar -xz gcc-arm-10.2-2020.11-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu.tar.xz

# ensure that the gcc compiler path is set to the location where the toolchain dowloaded earlier is unpacked
nano deploy/build-linux.sh # update the gcc compiler path

# compile the demo app
cd delpoy/
./build-linux.sh 
```

## Steps to run the app
More information and original guide: https://github.com/airockchip/rknn-llm/tree/main/examples/rkllm_multimodel_demo
```shell
# push install dir to device
adb push ./install/demo_Linux_aarch64 /data
# push model file to device
adb push Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct.rkllm /data/models

adb shell
cd /data/demo_Linux_aarch64
# export lib path
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib
# soft link models dir
ln -s /data/models .
# run llm(Pure Text Example)
./llm models/Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct.rkllm 128 512
