Set Up a Chatbot with Oobabooga on RunPod
Blog post from RunPod
Setting up a pod on RunPod using Oobabooga's Text Generation WebUI allows users to run various language models, including the Pygmalion 6B chatbot model, which can produce unfiltered outputs. The process involves creating a pod with the "RunPod Text Generation UI" template, connecting to the server on port 7860, and utilizing the interface for text generation and character context creation, which is crucial for the Pygmalion model's performance. Users can create or upload character profiles to enhance the chatbot experience, and alternative models such as GPT-J 6B can be loaded by adjusting environment variables and ensuring sufficient storage. The setup also supports a generic text generation mode, allowing users to experiment with different models and parameters to optimize their output.
