+# rwkv
+
+Example of how to run rwkv models.
+
+## Run models
+
+Setup:
+
+```bash
+# Clone LocalAI
+git clone https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI
+
+cd LocalAI/examples/rwkv
+
+# (optional) Checkout a specific LocalAI tag
+# git checkout -b build <TAG>
+
+# build the tooling image to convert an rwkv model locally:
+docker build -t rwkv-converter -f Dockerfile.build .
+
+# download and convert a model (one-off) - it's going to be fast on CPU too!
+docker run -ti --name converter -v $PWD:/data rwkv-converter https://huggingface.co/BlinkDL/rwkv-4-raven/resolve/main/RWKV-4-Raven-1B5-v11-Eng99%25-Other1%25-20230425-ctx4096.pth /data/models/rwkv
+
+# Get the tokenizer
+wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/saharNooby/rwkv.cpp/5eb8f09c146ea8124633ab041d9ea0b1f1db4459/rwkv/20B_tokenizer.json -O models/rwkv.tokenizer.json
+
+# start with docker-compose
+docker-compose up -d --build
+```
+
+Test it out:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8080/v1/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
+    "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
+    "prompt": "A long time ago, in a galaxy far away",
+    "max_tokens": 100,
+    "temperature": 0.9, "top_p": 0.8, "top_k": 80
+  }'
+
+# {"object":"text_completion","model":"gpt-3.5-turbo","choices":[{"text":", there was a small group of five friends: Annie, Bryan, Charlie, Emily, and Jesse."}],"usage":{"prompt_tokens":0,"completion_tokens":0,"total_tokens":0}}
+
+curl http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
+     "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",            
+     "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "How are you?"}],
+     "temperature": 0.9, "top_p": 0.8, "top_k": 80
+   }'
+
+# {"object":"chat.completion","model":"gpt-3.5-turbo","choices":[{"message":{"role":"assistant","content":" Good, thanks. I am about to go to bed. I' ll talk to you later.Bye."}}],"usage":{"prompt_tokens":0,"completion_tokens":0,"total_tokens":0}}
+```
