Description

I am trying to put the Nemo guardrail in front of our self hosted LLM. Having read document like https://python.langchain.com/v0.1/docs/integrations/llms/, it's still not clear to me what are the engine values to use. If I use the values listed, e.g. Llamafile, I would get Exception: Unknown LLM engine: Llamafile. Here is my config.yml.

models:
  - type: main
    engine: vllm_openai
    model: meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
    parameters:
      base_url:  https://meta-llama-instruct31-http-triton-inf-srv.xyz.com/v2/models/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct/generate
      stream: false
      temperature: 0

rails:
  input:
    flows:
      - self check input

I run the server with this command.
nemoguardrails server --config=.

It gives me the errors, which uses the model name gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct.

Thank you @rickcoup for opening this issue. Yes, the document needs improvements. But in the mean time have a look at the following

https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Guardrails/blob/develop/examples/configs/patronusai/lynx_config.yml

it should help you resolve your problem. Pay close attentio to the endpoint value and also where to place model_name.

Also vllm_openai from langchain to see the supported params.

[rickcoup]

Thanks @Pouyanpi. By moving the model name under the parameters works.

parameters:

       model: meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
