# Creative Writing Control Vectors Integration for ExLlamaV2

This project provides a wrapper to integrate [jukofyork's creative writing control vectors](https://huggingface.co./jukofyork/creative-writing-control-vectors-v3.0) with [ExLlamaV2](https://github.com/turboderp/exllamav2/). While ExLlamaV2 does not natively support control vectors, this wrapper enables loading and injecting GGUF control vectors into the model for dynamic text generation control.

## Overview

- Wrapper for using control vectors with ExLlamaV2
- Supports loading control vectors from GGUF format
- Injects vectors directly into ExLlamaV2 inference
- Enables dynamic text generation control

## Usage

1. Download model in ExLlamaV2 format
2. Create a "-vectors" directory next to model directory
3. Download the control vectors from [jukofyork's repository](https://huggingface.co./jukofyork/creative-writing-control-vectors-v3.0) and place them in the "-vectors" directory.
4. Run inference with the `--control_vectors` (`-vc`) parameter.

Example command:
```bash
python test_inference.py -m Meta-Llama-3-70B-Instruct-8bpw \
  -p "<prompt>" \
  --control_vectors language:simple:0.5,optimism:optimism:0.5
```

## Directory Structure

Ensure your directory structure follows this format to correctly load the control vectors:

```
models/
  ├── Meta-Llama-3-70B-Instruct-8bpw/
  │   └── model files...
  └── Meta-Llama-3-70B-Instruct-8bpw-vectors/
      ├── llama-3:70b-language__debias.gguf
      ├── llama-3:70b-language__simple.gguf
      ├── llama-3:70b-language__ornate.gguf 
      └── ...
```

## Limitations

- Proof of concept implementation
- May impact model performance
- Limited testing with different vector combinations
- No guarantee of exact equivalence to llama.cpp behavior
