Error running offline_inference.py

MAX
1

Hi, I’m new to modular and I’m trying to run offline inference code from Quickstart | Modular.

from max.entrypoints.llm import LLM
from max.pipelines import PipelineConfig


def main():
    model_path = "modularai/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-GGUF"
    pipeline_config = PipelineConfig(model_path=model_path)
    llm = LLM(pipeline_config)

    prompts = [
        "In the beginning, there was",
        "I believe the meaning of life is",
        "The fastest way to learn python is",
    ]

    print("Generating responses...")
    responses = llm.generate(prompts, max_new_tokens=50)
    for i, (prompt, response) in enumerate(zip(prompts, responses)):
        print(f"========== Response {i} ==========")
        print(prompt + response)
        print()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

But i got error with this log :

[2025-05-29 09:06:53] WARNING memory_estimation.py:142: Truncated model's default max_length from 131072 to 94767 to fit in memory.

I’m using ubuntu 22.04 / python 3.10 / modular == 25.3.0.
What causes this error and how can I fix it?

Ah, I found this post Quickstart Docs and giving setting to LLM fixed my problem!

Glad it was helpful.

Considering we’re seeing multiple people report the same problem I’m working to get the docs and code example updated.
