using llama_index with mac m1

Question #1:

Is there a way of using Mac with M1 CPU and llama_index together?

I cannot pass the bellow assertion:

AssertionError: Torch not compiled with CUDA enabled

Obviously I've no Nvidia card, but I've read Pytorch is now supporting Mac M1 as well

I'm trying to run the below example:

from llama_index import SimpleDirectoryReader, LangchainEmbedding, GPTListIndex,GPTSimpleVectorIndex, PromptHelper
from langchain.embeddings.huggingface import HuggingFaceEmbeddings
from llama_index import LLMPredictor, ServiceContext
import torch
from langchain.llms.base import LLM
from transformers import pipeline

class customLLM(LLM):
    model_name = "google/flan-t5-large"
    pipeline = pipeline("text2text-generation", model=model_name, device=0, model_kwargs={"torch_dtype":torch.bfloat16})

    def _call(self, prompt, stop=None):
        return self.pipeline(prompt, max_length=9999)[0]["generated_text"]
 
    def _identifying_params(self):
        return {"name_of_model": self.model_name}

    def _llm_type(self):
        return "custom"


llm_predictor = LLMPredictor(llm=customLLM())

Question #2:

Assuming the answer for the above is no - I don't mind using Google Colab with GPU, but once the index will be made, will it be possible to download it and use it on my Mac?

i.e. something like:

on Google Colab:

service_context = ServiceContext.from_defaults(llm_predictor=llm_predictor, embed_model=embed_model)
index = GPTSimpleVectorIndex.from_documents(documents, service_context=service_context)
index.save_to_disk('index.json')

... and later on my Mac use load_from_file

Why are you passing device=0? If isinstance(device, int), PyTorch will assume device is the index of a CUDA device, hence the error. Try device="cpu" (or maybe simply removing the device kwarg), and this issue should disappear.
