# Aeala's VicUnlocked Alpaca 65B QLoRA GGML

These files are GGML format model files for [Aeala's VicUnlocked Alpaca 65B QLoRA](https://huggingface.co./Aeala/VicUnlocked-alpaca-65b-QLoRA).

GGML files are for CPU + GPU inference using [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) and libraries and UIs which support this format, such as:
* [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui)
* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp)
* [ParisNeo/GPT4All-UI](https://github.com/ParisNeo/gpt4all-ui)

## Compatibility

### Original llama.cpp quant methods: `q4_0, q4_1, q5_0, q5_1, q8_0`

I have quantized these 'original' quantisation methods using an older version of llama.cpp so that they remain compatible with llama.cpp as of May 19th, commit `2d5db48`.

They should be compatible with all current UIs and libraries that use llama.cpp, such as those listed at the top of this README.

### New k-quant methods: `q2_K, q3_K_S, q3_K_M, q3_K_L, q4_K_S, q4_K_M, q5_K_S, q6_K`

These new quantisation methods are only compatible with llama.cpp as of June 6th, commit `2d43387`.

They will NOT be compatible with koboldcpp, text-generation-ui, and other UIs and libraries yet. Support is expected to come over the next few days.

## Explanation of the new k-quant methods

The new methods available are:
* GGML_TYPE_Q2_K - "type-1" 2-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 16 blocks, each block having 16 weight. Block scales and mins are quantized with 4 bits. This ends up effectively using 2.5625 bits per weight (bpw)
* GGML_TYPE_Q3_K - "type-0" 3-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 6 bits. This end up using 3.4375 bpw.
* GGML_TYPE_Q4_K - "type-1" 4-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 8 blocks, each block having 32 weights. Scales and mins are quantized with 6 bits. This ends up using 4.5 bpw.
* GGML_TYPE_Q5_K - "type-1" 5-bit quantization. Same super-block structure as GGML_TYPE_Q4_K resulting in 5.5 bpw
* GGML_TYPE_Q6_K - "type-0" 6-bit quantization. Super-blocks with 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 8 bits. This ends up using 6.5625 bpw
* GGML_TYPE_Q8_K - "type-0" 8-bit quantization. Only used for quantizing intermediate results. The difference to the existing Q8_0 is that the block size is 256. All 2-6 bit dot products are implemented for this quantization type.

**Note**: the above RAM figures assume no GPU offloading. If layers are offloaded to the GPU, this will reduce RAM usage and use VRAM instead.

### q8_0 file requires expansion from archive

**Note:** HF does not support uploading files larger than 50GB. Therefore I have uploaded the q8_0 file in a multi-part ZIP file. The ZIP is not compressed, it is just storing the .bin file in two parts.

To decompress it, please download
* `VicUnlocked-Alpaca-65B.ggmlv3.q8_0.zip`
* `VicUnlocked-Alpaca-65B.ggmlv3.q8_0.z01`

and extract the .zip archive. This will will expand both parts automatically. On Linux I found I had to use `7zip` - the basic `unzip` tool did not work. Example:
```
sudo apt update -y && sudo apt install 7zip
7zz x VicUnlocked-Alpaca-65B.ggmlv3.q8_0.zip # Once the q8_0.bin is extracted you can delete the .zip and .z01
```

## How to run in `llama.cpp`

I use the following command line; adjust for your tastes and needs:

```
./main -t 10 -ngl 32 -m vicunlocked-65b.ggmlv3.q5_0.bin --color -c 2048 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "### Instruction: Write a story about llamas\n### Response:"
```
Change `-t 10` to the number of physical CPU cores you have. For example if your system has 8 cores/16 threads, use `-t 8`.

Change `-ngl 32` to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.

If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the `-p <PROMPT>` argument with `-i -ins`

## How to run in `text-generation-webui`

# Original model card: Aeala's VicUnlocked Alpaca 65B QLoRA


## LoRA Info:
Please note that this is a highly experimental LoRA model. It may do some good stuff, it might do some undesirable stuff. Training is paused for now. Feel free to try it!~

**Important Note**: While this is trained on a cleaned ShareGPT dataset like Vicuna used, this was trained in the *Alpaca* format, so prompting should be something like:

```
### Instruction:

<prompt> (without the <>)

### Response:
```

Current upload: checkpoint of a retrain at ~1000 steps with fixed QLoRA repo. (**6/4/2023**)


## Benchmarks
**wikitext2:** Coming soon...

**ptb-new:** Coming soon...

**c4-new:** Coming soon...
