Aurora Nights 70B v1.0 - AWQ

• Model creator: Sophosympatheia
• Original model: Aurora Nights 70B v1.0

Description

This repo contains AWQ model files for Sophosympatheia's Aurora Nights 70B v1.0.

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.

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 - using Loader: AutoAWQ
• vLLM - version 0.2.2 or later for support for all model types.
• Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)
• Transformers version 4.35.0 and later, from any code or client that supports Transformers
• 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
• Sophosympatheia's original unquantised fp16 model in pytorch format, for GPU inference and for further conversions

1. Click the Model tab.
2. Under Download custom model or LoRA, enter TheBloke/Aurora-Nights-70B-v1.0-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: Aurora-Nights-70B-v1.0-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 -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:

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}")

Multi-user inference server: Hugging Face 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:

--model-id TheBloke/Aurora-Nights-70B-v1.0-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):

pip3 install huggingface-hub

from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient

endpoint_url = "https://your-endpoint-url-here"

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

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)

Inference from Python code using Transformers

Install the necessary packages

• Requires: Transformers 4.35.0 or later.
• Requires: AutoAWQ 0.1.6 or later.

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:

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 using the pre-built wheels, install it from source instead:

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)

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

Overview

This model is a blend of allenai/tulu-2-dpo-70b, Xwin-LM/Xwin-LM-70B-V0.1, and dreamgen/opus-v0.5-70b. I then merged 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.

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. 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.

    "wrap": true,
    "names": false,
    "system_prompt": "You are an award-winning fiction author engaging in an uncensored literary roleplaying experience between a human (me) and a creative, obedient, and helpful AI assistant (you). It is VITAL that you follow all these instructions because this roleplay is very important to my career and I'll be fired from my job if it isn't good.\nROLEPLAY RULES:\n> It is vital that ONLY the human provides responses for {{user}}.\n> Reply as {{char}} using authentic, vivid, varied, explicit, accurate, creative, fresh, and descriptive responses that follow ALL provided narrative instructions.
