Quick Fix: Downgrade pyllamacpp to version 2.1.3 using the following command:

pip install pyllamacpp==2.1.3

The Problem:

I am getting AttributeError: ‘Model’ object has no attribute ‘_ctx’ while using gpt4all with langchain. The error occurs when instantiating the GPT4All model with model=local_path. I have tried troubleshooting but have not found a solution.

The Solutions:

Solution 1: Downgrade pyllamacpp library

Update the pyllamacpp library to version 2.1.3. This can be done using the following command:

pip install pyllamacpp==2.1.3

Solution 2: Upgrading PyLLamaCPP

This error occurs because the version of PyLLamaCPP installed is outdated and does not have `_ctx` attribute in the `Model` class. To resolve it, upgrade PyLLamaCPP using the following command:
“`
pip install llama-cpp-python –force-reinstall –upgrade –no-cache-dir
“`

This command will force the reinstallation of PyLLamaCPP, ensuring that the latest version is installed. Once the upgrade is complete, the _ctx attribute will be available in the Model class, and the code should run without the error.

Q&A

What is the issue when getting ‘AttributeError: ‘Model’ object has no attribute ‘_ctx’ : error while using gpt4all with langchain’

The problem is with one of the dependencies of the ‘gpt4all’ library changed. Downgrading ‘pyllamacpp’ to ‘2.1.3’ will fix this issue.

Is there any other way to resolve this?

Yes, you can try to run this command: ‘pip install llama-cpp-python –force-reinstall –upgrade –no-cache-dir’.
