Installation

Requirements

• Python 3.11 was used (best to create a virtual environment using conda on venv)
• run pip install -r requirements.txt
• run your own local open source LLM api endpoint server (for this project i used textgen-webui). You will need to start your textgen-webui server with the --api flag to generate an api endpoint that the bot will call to generate responses. Refer to the textgen-webui repo for more details.
• create a .env file and update your variables with your own telegram bot token, your own name, your own LLM api endpoint. refer to .env.example for the variables you need to set. Your final .env file should look like the .env.example except with your own variables.
• refer to this to get your own telegram bot token

Running the bot

run the following command

python run_bot.py

Fine Tuning

Refer more to furiousteabag repo and blog to see how he got his telegram messages and prepared the dataset for fine tuning. The methods used for fine tuning he also discussed and evaluated in his blog. Brilliant stuff!

Libraries used

• tiktoken (to calculate tokens)
• langchain (easy api to connect llm endpoints in python)
• pyTelegramBotAPI (python api to interface with telegram)
