Best Practice: Create a Chatbot with LLM and AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL on Alibaba Cloud

This article explains multiple ways to create chatbots (with examples and code).

This article provides a general overview of using Terraform to achieve the goal. If you prefer using a graphical interface, you can refer to the following article:

Starter Guide | Build a RAG Service on Compute Nest with LLM on PAI-EAS and AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL in One Click

1. Deploy ECS and AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL Using Terraform Scripts

To build a chatbot, you will need to use ECS Resources with GPU and AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL with vector database capabilities. In this article, we will use terraform scripts to launch required resources, so please ensure to install a terraform environment before you start.

1.1. Develop Terraform Scripts

The 'ap-southeast-1' in the script stands for Singapore region on Alibaba Cloud. You can refer to the following blog to get all region codes of Alibaba Cloud.

Blog: What are the region code and Availability Zone (AZ) code of Alibaba Cloud ApsaraDB?

Terraform:main.tf:

provider "alicloud" {
access_key = "Your AK ID"
secret_key = "Your AK secret"

#Configure a region to deploy the resources
region = "ap-southeast-1"
}

Terraform:alicloud_llm_adb.tf:

variable "name" {
default = "auto_provisioning_group"
}

#Create a new ECS instance for a VPC
resource "alicloud_security_group" "group" {

}

  }
}

1.2. Check Scripts and Deploy Resources

Execute the following commands to deploy resources defined in the terraform scripts.

shell:

terraform plan
terraform apply
  • terraform plan: Show changes required by the current configuration.
  • terraform apply: Create or update infrastructure.

2. Install Dependencies on ECS

Log on to the ECS and execute following commands to install dependencies of ChatBot (the application layer). Then export the AK and SK of your Alibaba Cloud account.

shell:

apt-get update
add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
apt-get install nvidia-driver-525
apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-all
pip3.10 install   langchain==0.0.146
pip3.10 install   transformers==4.27.1
pip3.10 install   unstructured
pip3.10 install   layoutparser
pip3.10 install   nltk
pip3.10 install   sentence-transformers
pip3.10 install   beautifulsoup4
pip3.10 install   icetk
pip3.10 install   cpm_kernels
pip3.10 install   faiss-cpu
pip3.10 install   accelerate
pip3.10 install   gradio==3.28.3
pip3.10 install   fastapi
pip3.10 install   uvicorn
pip3.10 install   peft
pip3.10 install   alibabacloud-bpstudio20210931==1.0.11
pip3.10 install   alibabacloud-gpdb20160503==1.1.21
pip3.10 install   psycopg2cffi

#Export AK and SK
export ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID="Your AK ID";
export ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET="Your AK SECRET"

3. Deploy Large Language Model on ECS

3.1. Develop Python Scripts to Run the Application

Create a Python file and develop startup scripts to run the ChatBot application.

shell:

vim /root/chatbot.py

Copy all of the following scripts and edit line #187 to line #189, replace values accordingly with your environment. The instance ID of AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL, the private IP of ECS, and the public IP of ECS are needed.

In this article, we will load Large Language Model (LLM) ChatGLM-6B to the ChatBot. ChatGLM-6B was developed by the Tsinghua University Deep Learning Research Group. It is a 6.2 billion-parameter, open-source, multilingual version of the Generic Language Model (GLM) framework that supports both Chinese and English. You can edit the script around line #231 to use other Large Language Models, such as Dolly, GPT, and etc.
