# Aurora Nights 70B v1.0 - AWQ
- Model creator: [Sophosympatheia](https://huggingface.co/sophosympatheia)
- Original model: [Aurora Nights 70B v1.0](https://huggingface.co/sophosympatheia/Aurora-Nights-70B-v1.0)

<!-- description start -->
## Description

This repo contains AWQ model files for [Sophosympatheia's Aurora Nights 70B v1.0](https://huggingface.co/sophosympatheia/Aurora-Nights-70B-v1.0).

These files were quantised using hardware kindly provided by [Massed Compute](https://massedcompute.com/).


### 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.

AWQ models are currently supported on Linux and Windows, with NVidia GPUs only. macOS users: please use GGUF models instead.

It is supported by:

- [Text Generation Webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui) - using Loader: AutoAWQ
- [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) - version 0.2.2 or later for support for all model types.
- [Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference)
- [Transformers](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers) version 4.35.0 and later, from any code or client that supports Transformers
- [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) - for use from Python code

## Multi-user inference server: vLLM

Documentation on installing and using vLLM [can be found here](https://vllm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

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

For example:

```shell
python3 -m vllm.entrypoints.api_server --model TheBloke/Aurora-Nights-70B-v1.0-AWQ --quantization awq --dtype auto
```

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

For example:

```python
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?",
]
prompt_template=f'''{system_message}
<|user|>
{prompt}
<|assistant|>
'''

prompts = [prompt_template.format(prompt=prompt) for prompt in prompts]

sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)

llm = LLM(model="TheBloke/Aurora-Nights-70B-v1.0-AWQ", quantization="awq", dtype="auto")

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}")
```

## Inference from Python code using Transformers

### Install the necessary packages

- Requires: [Transformers](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers) 4.35.0 or later.
- Requires: [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) 0.1.6 or later.

```shell
pip3 install --upgrade "autoawq>=0.1.6" "transformers>=4.35.0"
```

Note that if you are using PyTorch 2.0.1, the above AutoAWQ command will automatically upgrade you to PyTorch 2.1.0.

If you are using CUDA 11.8 and wish to continue using PyTorch 2.0.1, instead run this command:

```shell
pip3 install https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ/releases/download/v0.1.6/autoawq-0.1.6+cu118-cp310-cp310-linux_x86_64.whl
```

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 .
```

### Transformers example code (requires Transformers 4.35.0 and later)

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, TextStreamer

model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/Aurora-Nights-70B-v1.0-AWQ"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name_or_path,
    low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
    device_map="cuda:0"
)

# Using the text streamer to stream output one token at a time
streamer = TextStreamer(tokenizer, skip_prompt=True, skip_special_tokens=True)

prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''{system_message}
<|user|>
{prompt}
<|assistant|>
'''

# Convert prompt to tokens
tokens = tokenizer(
    prompt_template,
    return_tensors='pt'
).input_ids.cuda()

generation_params = {
    "do_sample": True,
    "temperature": 0.7,
    "top_p": 0.95,
    "top_k": 40,
    "max_new_tokens": 512,
    "repetition_penalty": 1.1
}

# Generate streamed output, visible one token at a time
generation_output = model.generate(
    tokens,
    streamer=streamer,
    **generation_params
)

# Generation without a streamer, which will include the prompt in the output
generation_output = model.generate(
    tokens,
    **generation_params
)

# Get the tokens from the output, decode them, print them
token_output = generation_output[0]
text_output = tokenizer.decode(token_output)
print("model.generate output: ", text_output)

# Inference is also possible via Transformers' pipeline
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model,
    tokenizer=tokenizer,
    **generation_params
)

pipe_output = pipe(prompt_template)[0]['generated_text']
print("pipeline output: ", pipe_output)

# Original model card: Sophosympatheia's Aurora Nights 70B v1.0

<div style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto">
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/aGUU0O9.png" alt="AuroraNights" style="width: 100%; min-width: 400px; display: block; margin: auto;">
</div>

### Overview

This model is a blend of [allenai/tulu-2-dpo-70b](https://huggingface.co/allenai/tulu-2-dpo-70b), [Xwin-LM/Xwin-LM-70B-V0.1](https://huggingface.co/Xwin-LM/Xwin-LM-70B-V0.1), and [dreamgen/opus-v0.5-70b](https://huggingface.co/dreamgen/opus-v0.5-70b). I then merged [nRuaif/fiction.live-Kimiko-V2-70B](https://huggingface.co/nRuaif/fiction.live-Kimiko-V2-70B) into the resultant blend. See the bottom of this card for the exact settings used.

This model is good at both following instructions and producing creative, uncensored storytelling and roleplaying content.
This model turned out quite uncensored. *You are responsible for whatever you do with it.*

This model was designed for roleplaying and storytelling and I think it does well at both. It *should* perform well at other tasks, but I haven't tested its capabilities in other areas.

### Sampler Tips

I recommend using the new Min-P sampler method with this model. The creator has a great [guide to it on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/17vonjo/your_settings_are_probably_hurting_your_model_why/).

I find this model performs surprisingly well at 8192 context but you will probably get better results at 4096 context.

Experiment with any and all of the settings below, but trust me on a few points:
* This model works well with Min-P.
* Frequency Penalty set to 0.01 is like adding a dash of salt to the dish. Go higher at your own peril. 0 is fine too, but gosh I like 0.01.

If you save the below settings as a .json file, you can import them directly into Silly Tavern.

### Prompt Tips

Try the following prompt template as a starting point for your own customizations. 'This is very important to my career' is from [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.11760).
I recommend the Tulu instruction format.

*This model responds to prompting!* I highly recommend playing with your system prompt to see how it reacts.

If you save this as a .json file, you can import it directly into Silly Tavern.
