# ALMA 7B - AWQ
- Model creator: [Haoran Xu](https://huggingface.co/haoranxu)
- Original model: [ALMA 7B](https://huggingface.co/haoranxu/ALMA-7B)
## Description
This repo contains AWQ model files for [Haoran Xu's ALMA 7B](https://huggingface.co/haoranxu/ALMA-7B).
### About AWQ
AWQ is an efficient, accurate and blazing-fast low-bit weight quantization method, currently supporting 4-bit quantization. Compared to GPTQ, it offers faster Transformers-based inference.
It is also now supported by continuous batching server [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm), allowing use of Llama AWQ models for high-throughput concurrent inference in multi-user server scenarios.
As of September 25th 2023, preliminary Llama-only AWQ support has also been added to [Huggingface Text Generation Inference (TGI)](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference).
Note that, at the time of writing, overall throughput is still lower than running vLLM or TGI with unquantised models, however using AWQ enables using much smaller GPUs which can lead to easier deployment and overall cost savings. For example, a 70B model can be run on 1 x 48GB GPU instead of 2 x 80GB.

## Licensing
The creator of the source model has listed its license as `mit`, and this quantization has therefore used that same license.
As this model is based on Llama 2, it is also subject to the Meta Llama 2 license terms, and the license files for that are additionally included. It should therefore be considered as being claimed to be licensed under both licenses. I contacted Hugging Face for clarification on dual licensing but they do not yet have an official position. Should this change, or should Meta provide any feedback on this situation, I will update this section accordingly.
In the meantime, any questions regarding licensing, and in particular how these two licenses might interact, should be directed to the original model repository: [Haoran Xu's ALMA 7B](https://huggingface.co/haoranxu/ALMA-7B).
## Provided files, and AWQ parameters
For my first release of AWQ models, I am releasing 128g models only. I will consider adding 32g as well if there is interest, and once I have done perplexity and evaluation comparisons, but at this time 32g models are still not fully tested with AutoAWQ and vLLM.
Models are released as sharded safetensors files.
| Branch | Bits | GS | AWQ Dataset | Seq Len | Size |

## Serving this model from vLLM
Documentation on installing and using vLLM [can be found here](https://vllm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
Note: at the time of writing, vLLM has not yet done a new release with AWQ support.
If you try the vLLM examples below and get an error about `quantization` being unrecognised, or other AWQ-related issues, please install vLLM from Github source.
- When using vLLM as a server, pass the `--quantization awq` parameter, for example:
```shell
python3 python -m vllm.entrypoints.api_server --model TheBloke/ALMA-7B-AWQ --quantization awq --dtype half
```
When using vLLM from Python code, pass the `quantization=awq` parameter, for example:
```python
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
prompts = [
"Hello, my name is",
"The president of the United States is",
"The capital of France is",
"The future of AI is",
]
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)
llm = LLM(model="TheBloke/ALMA-7B-AWQ", quantization="awq", dtype="half")
outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)
# Print the outputs.
for output in outputs:
prompt = output.prompt
generated_text = output.outputs[0].text
print(f"Prompt: {prompt!r}, Generated text: {generated_text!r}")
```
## Serving this model from Text Generation Inference (TGI)
Use TGI version 1.1.0 or later. The official Docker container is: `ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:1.1.0`
Example Docker parameters:
```shell
--model-id TheBloke/ALMA-7B-AWQ --port 3000 --quantize awq --max-input-length 3696 --max-total-tokens 4096 --max-batch-prefill-tokens 4096
```
Example Python code for interfacing with TGI (requires huggingface-hub 0.17.0 or later):
```shell
pip3 install huggingface-hub
```
```python
from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient
endpoint_url = "https://your-endpoint-url-here"
prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''Translate this from Chinese to English:
Chinese: {prompt}
English:
'''
client = InferenceClient(endpoint_url)
response = client.text_generation(prompt,
max_new_tokens=128,
do_sample=True,
temperature=0.7,
top_p=0.95,
top_k=40,
repetition_penalty=1.1)
print(f"Model output: {response}")
```
## How to use this AWQ model from Python code
### Install the necessary packages
Requires: [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) 0.1.1 or later
```shell
pip3 install autoawq
```
If you have problems installing [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) using the pre-built wheels, install it from source instead:
```shell
pip3 uninstall -y autoawq
git clone https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ
cd AutoAWQ
pip3 install .
```
### You can then try the following example code
```python
from awq import AutoAWQForCausalLM
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/ALMA-7B-AWQ"
# Load model
model = AutoAWQForCausalLM.from_quantized(model_name_or_path, fuse_layers=True,
trust_remote_code=False, safetensors=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, trust_remote_code=False)
prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''Translate this from Chinese to English:
Chinese: {prompt}
English:
'''
print("\n\n*** Generate:")
tokens = tokenizer(
prompt_template,
return_tensors='pt'
).input_ids.cuda()
# Generate output
generation_output = model.generate(
tokens,
do_sample=True,
temperature=0.7,
top_p=0.95,
top_k=40,
max_new_tokens=512
)
print("Output: ", tokenizer.decode(generation_output[0]))
"""
# Inference should be possible with transformers pipeline as well in future
# But currently this is not yet supported by AutoAWQ (correct as of September 25th 2023)
from transformers import pipeline
print("*** Pipeline:")
pipe = pipeline(
"text-generation",
model=model,
tokenizer=tokenizer,
max_new_tokens=512,
do_sample=True,
temperature=0.7,
top_p=0.95,
top_k=40,
repetition_penalty=1.1
)
print(pipe(prompt_template)[0]['generated_text'])
"""
```

# Original model card: Haoran Xu's ALMA 7B
**ALMA** (**A**dvanced **L**anguage **M**odel-based tr**A**nslator) is an LLM-based translation model, which adopts a new translation model paradigm: it begins with fine-tuning on monolingual data and is further optimized using high-quality parallel data. This two-step fine-tuning process ensures strong translation performance.
Please find more details in our [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.11674).

We release four translation models presented in the paper:
- **ALMA-7B**: Full-weight Fine-tune LLaMA-2-7B on 20B monolingual tokens and then **Full-weight** fine-tune on human-written parallel data
- **ALMA-7B-LoRA**: Full-weight Fine-tune LLaMA-2-7B on 20B monolingual tokens and then **LoRA** fine-tune on human-written parallel data
- **ALMA-13B**: Full-weight Fine-tune LLaMA-2-7B on 12B monolingual tokens and then **Full-weight** fine-tune on human-written parallel data
- **ALMA-13B-LoRA** (Our best system): Full-weight Fine-tune LLaMA-2-7B on 12B monolingual tokens and then **LoRA** fine-tune on human-written parallel data
Model checkpoints are released at huggingface:

**Note that `ALMA-7B-Pretrain` and `ALMA-13B-Pretrain` are NOT translation models. They only experience stage 1 monolingual fine-tuning (20B tokens for the 7B model and 12B tokens for the 13B model), and should be utilized in conjunction with their LoRA models for translation purposes.**
A quick start to use our best system (ALMA-13B-LoRA) for translation. An example of translating "我爱机器翻译。" into English:
```
import torch
from peft import PeftModel
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
from transformers import LlamaTokenizer
# Load base model and LoRA weights
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("haoranxu/ALMA-13B-Pretrain", torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto")
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, "haoranxu/ALMA-13B-Pretrain-LoRA")
tokenizer = LlamaTokenizer.from_pretrained("haoranxu/ALMA-13B-Pretrain", padding_side='left')
# Add the source setence into the prompt template
prompt="Translate this from Chinese to English:\nChinese: 我爱机器翻译。\nEnglish:"
input_ids = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt", padding=True, max_length=40, truncation=True).input_ids.cuda()
# Translation
with torch.no_grad():
generated_ids = model.generate(input_ids=input_ids, num_beams=5, max_new_tokens=20, do_sample=True, temperature=0.6, top_p=0.9)
outputs = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
print(outputs)
```
