AshhLimaRP Mistral 7B - AWQ

• Model creator: Suikamelon
• Original model: AshhLimaRP Mistral 7B

Description

This repo contains AWQ model files for Suikamelon's AshhLimaRP Mistral 7B.

These files were quantised using hardware kindly provided by Massed Compute.

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 with equivalent or better quality compared to the most commonly used GPTQ settings.

It is supported by:

• Text Generation Webui - using Loader: AutoAWQ
• vLLM - Llama and Mistral models only
• Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)
• AutoAWQ - for use from Python code

Repositories available

• AWQ model(s) for GPU inference.
• GPTQ models for GPU inference, with multiple quantisation parameter options.
• 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8-bit GGUF models for CPU+GPU inference
• Suikamelon's original unquantised fp16 model in pytorch format, for GPU inference and for further conversions

Prompt template: LimaRP-Alpaca

User's persona: user character description
  
Scenario: what happens in the story

Play the role of Character. You must engage in a roleplaying chat with User below this line. Do not write dialogues and narration for User. Character should respond with messages of medium length.

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.

How to easily download and use this model in text-generation-webui

Please make sure you're using the latest version of text-generation-webui.

It is strongly recommended to use the text-generation-webui one-click-installers unless you're sure you know how to make a manual install.

1. Click the Model tab.
2. Under Download custom model or LoRA, enter TheBloke/AshhLimaRP-Mistral-7B-AWQ.
3. Click Download.
4. The model will start downloading. Once it's finished it will say "Done".
5. In the top left, click the refresh icon next to Model.
6. In the Model dropdown, choose the model you just downloaded: AshhLimaRP-Mistral-7B-AWQ
7. Select Loader: AutoAWQ.
8. Click Load, and the model will load and is now ready for use.
9. If you want any custom settings, set them and then click Save settings for this model followed by Reload the Model in the top right.
10. Once you're ready, click the Text Generation tab and enter a prompt to get started!

Multi-user inference server: vLLM

Documentation on installing and using vLLM can be found here.

• Please ensure you are using vLLM version 0.2 or later.
• When using vLLM as a server, pass the --quantization awq parameter.

For example:

python3 python -m vllm.entrypoints.api_server --model TheBloke/AshhLimaRP-Mistral-7B-AWQ --quantization awq

• When using vLLM from Python code, again set quantization=awq.

For example:

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

prompts = [
    "Tell me about AI",
    "Write a story about llamas",
    "What is 291 - 150?",
    "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?",
]

# 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}")

Original model card: Suikamelon's AshhLimaRP Mistral 7B

AshhLimaRP-Mistral-7B (Alpaca, v1)

This is a version of LimaRP with 2000 training samples up to about 9k tokens length finetuned on Ashhwriter-Mistral-7B.

LimaRP is a longform-oriented, novel-style roleplaying chat model intended to replicate the experience of 1-on-1 roleplay on Internet forums. Short-form, IRC/Discord-style RP (aka "Markdown format") is not supported. The model does not include instruction tuning, only manually picked and slightly edited RP conversations with persona and scenario data.

Ashhwriter, the base, is a model entirely finetuned on human-written lewd stories.

Available versions

• Float16 HF weights
• LoRA Adapter (adapter_config.json and adapter_model.bin)
• 4bit AWQ
• Q4_K_M GGUF
• Q6_K GGUF

Prompt format

Extended Alpaca format, with ### Instruction:, ### Input: immediately preceding user inputs and ### Response: immediately preceding model outputs. While Alpaca wasn't originally intended for multi-turn responses, in practice this is not a problem; the format follows a pattern already used by other models.

### Instruction:
Character's Persona: {bot character description}

User's Persona: {user character description}

Scenario: {what happens in the story}

Play the role of Character. You must engage in a roleplaying chat with User below this line. Do not write dialogues and narration for User.

### Input:
User: {utterance}

### Response:
Character: {utterance}

### Input
User: {utterance}

### Response:
Character: {utterance}

(etc.)

You should:

• Replace all text in curly braces (curly braces included) with your own text.
• Replace User and Character with appropriate names.

Message length control

Inspired by the previously named "Roleplay" preset in SillyTavern, with this version of LimaRP it is possible to append a length modifier to the response instruction sequence, like this:

### Input
User: {utterance}

### Response: (length = medium)
Character: {utterance}

This has an immediately noticeable effect on bot responses. The lengths using during training are: micro, tiny, short, medium, long, massive, huge, enormous, humongous, unlimited. The recommended starting length is medium. Keep in mind that the AI can ramble or impersonate the user with very long messages.

The length control effect is reproducible, but the messages will not necessarily follow lengths very precisely, rather follow certain ranges on average, as seen in this table with data from tests made with one reply at the beginning of the conversation:

Response length control appears to work well also deep into the conversation. By omitting the modifier, the model will choose the most appropriate response length (although it might not necessarily be what the user desires).

Suggested settings

You can follow these instruction format settings in SillyTavern. Replace medium with your desired response length:

Text generation settings

These settings could be a good general starting point:

• TFS = 0.90
• Temperature = 0.70
• Repetition penalty = ~1.11
• Repetition penalty range = ~2048
• top-k = 0 (disabled)
• top-p = 1 (disabled)

Training procedure

Axolotl was used for training on 2x NVidia A40 GPUs.

The A40 GPUs have been graciously provided by Arc Compute.

Training hyperparameters

A lower learning rate than usual was employed. Due to an unforeseen issue the training was cut short and as a result 3 epochs were trained instead of the planned 4. Using 2 GPUs, the effective global batch size would have been 16.

Training was continued from the most recent LoRA adapter from Ashhwriter, using the same LoRA R and LoRA alpha.

• lora_model_dir: /home/anon/bin/axolotl/OUT_mistral-stories/checkpoint-6000/
• learning_rate: 0.00005
• lr_scheduler: cosine
• noisy_embedding_alpha: 3.5
• num_epochs: 4
• sequence_len: 8750
• lora_r: 256
• lora_alpha: 16
• lora_dropout: 0.05
• lora_target_linear: True
• bf16: True
• fp16: false
• tf32: True
• load_in_8bit: True
• adapter: lora
• micro_batch_size: 2
• optimizer: adamw_bnb_8bit
• warmup_steps: 10
• optimizer: adamw_torch
• flash_attention: true
• sample_packing: true
• pad_to_sequence_len: true

Loss graphs

Values are higher than typical because the training is performed on the entire sample, similar to unsupervised finetuning.
