### About GGUF

GGUF is a new format introduced by the llama.cpp team on August 21st 2023. It is a replacement for GGML, which is no longer supported by llama.cpp.

Here is an incomplete list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF:

* [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp). The source project for GGUF. Offers a CLI and a server option.
* [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), the most widely used web UI, with many features and powerful extensions. Supports GPU acceleration.
* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp), a fully featured web UI, with GPU accel across all platforms and GPU architectures. Especially good for story telling.
* [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/), an easy-to-use and powerful local GUI for Windows and macOS (Silicon), with GPU acceleration.
* [LoLLMS Web UI](https://github.com/ParisNeo/lollms-webui), a great web UI with many interesting and unique features, including a full model library for easy model selection.
* [Faraday.dev](https://faraday.dev/), an attractive and easy to use character-based chat GUI for Windows and macOS (both Silicon and Intel), with GPU acceleration.
* [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers), a Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible AI server.
* [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python), a Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible API server.

## Compatibility

These quantised GGUFv2 files are compatible with llama.cpp from August 27th onwards, as of commit [d0cee0d](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/d0cee0d36d5be95a0d9088b674dbb27354107221)

They are also compatible with many third party UIs and libraries - please see the list at the top of this README.

## Explanation of quantisation methods

<details>
  <summary>Click to see details</summary>

The new methods available are:

* GGML_TYPE_Q2_K - "type-1" 2-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 16 blocks, each block having 16 weight. Block scales and mins are quantized with 4 bits. This ends up effectively using 2.5625 bits per weight (bpw)
* GGML_TYPE_Q3_K - "type-0" 3-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 6 bits. This end up using 3.4375 bpw.
* GGML_TYPE_Q4_K - "type-1" 4-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 8 blocks, each block having 32 weights. Scales and mins are quantized with 6 bits. This ends up using 4.5 bpw.
* GGML_TYPE_Q5_K - "type-1" 5-bit quantization. Same super-block structure as GGML_TYPE_Q4_K resulting in 5.5 bpw
* GGML_TYPE_Q6_K - "type-0" 6-bit quantization. Super-blocks with 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 8 bits. This ends up using 6.5625 bpw

## How to download GGUF files

**Note for manual downloaders:** You almost never want to clone the entire repo! Multiple different quantisation formats are provided, and most users only want to pick and download a single file.

The following clients/libraries will automatically download models for you, providing a list of available models to choose from:

* LM Studio
* LoLLMS Web UI
* Faraday.dev

### In `text-generation-webui`

Under Download Model, you can enter the model repo: TheBloke/Claire-7B-0.1-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: claire-7b-0.1.Q4_K_M.gguf.

Then click Download.

### On the command line, including multiple files at once

I recommend using the `huggingface-hub` Python library:

```shell
pip3 install huggingface-hub
```

Then you can download any individual model file to the current directory, at high speed, with a command like this:

```shell
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Claire-7B-0.1-GGUF claire-7b-0.1.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```

<details>
  <summary>More advanced huggingface-cli download usage</summary>

You can also download multiple files at once with a pattern:

```shell
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Claire-7B-0.1-GGUF --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False --include='*Q4_K*gguf'
```

For more documentation on downloading with `huggingface-cli`, please see: [HF -> Hub Python Library -> Download files -> Download from the CLI](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/guides/download#download-from-the-cli).

To accelerate downloads on fast connections (1Gbit/s or higher), install `hf_transfer`:

```shell
pip3 install hf_transfer
```

And set environment variable `HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER` to `1`:

```shell
HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Claire-7B-0.1-GGUF claire-7b-0.1.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```

Windows Command Line users: You can set the environment variable by running `set HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1` before the download command.
</details>
<!-- README_GGUF.md-how-to-download end -->

<!-- README_GGUF.md-how-to-run start -->
## Example `llama.cpp` command

Make sure you are using `llama.cpp` from commit [d0cee0d](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/d0cee0d36d5be95a0d9088b674dbb27354107221) or later.

```shell
./main -ngl 32 -m claire-7b-0.1.Q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 2048 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "- Bonjour BotName, {prompt}\n- Bonjour UserName,"
```

Change `-ngl 32` to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.

Change `-c 2048` to the desired sequence length. For extended sequence models - eg 8K, 16K, 32K - the necessary RoPE scaling parameters are read from the GGUF file and set by llama.cpp automatically.

If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the `-p <PROMPT>` argument with `-i -ins`

For other parameters and how to use them, please refer to [the llama.cpp documentation](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/examples/main/README.md)

## How to run in `text-generation-webui`

Further instructions can be found in the text-generation-webui documentation, here: [text-generation-webui/docs/04 ‐ Model Tab.md](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/main/docs/04%20%E2%80%90%20Model%20Tab.md#llamacpp).

## How to run from Python code

You can use GGUF models from Python using the [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python) or [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers) libraries.

### How to load this model in Python code, using ctransformers

#### First install the package

Run one of the following commands, according to your system:

```shell
# Base ctransformers with no GPU acceleration
pip install ctransformers
# Or with CUDA GPU acceleration
pip install ctransformers[cuda]
# Or with AMD ROCm GPU acceleration (Linux only)
CT_HIPBLAS=1 pip install ctransformers --no-binary ctransformers
# Or with Metal GPU acceleration for macOS systems only
CT_METAL=1 pip install ctransformers --no-binary ctransformers
```

#### Simple ctransformers example code

```python
from ctransformers import AutoModelForCausalLM

# Set gpu_layers to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Set to 0 if no GPU acceleration is available on your system.
llm = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("TheBloke/Claire-7B-0.1-GGUF", model_file="claire-7b-0.1.Q4_K_M.gguf", model_type="falcon", gpu_layers=50)

print(llm("AI is going to"))
```

## How to use with LangChain

Here are guides on using llama-cpp-python and ctransformers with LangChain:

# Original model card: OpenLLM France's Claire 7B 0.1


# Claire-7B-0.1

**Claire-7B-0.1 is a 7B parameter causal decoder-only model built by [LINAGORA](https://labs.linagora.com/) and [OpenLLM-France](https://github.com/OpenLLM-France)**
**adapted from [Falcon-7b](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b) on French conversational data.**

Claire-7B-0.1 is a pretrained language model designed to be attuned to the dynamics of linguistic interactions in dialogue. Without further training, its expected use is to generate continuations of dialogues. Its main purpose is to serve as a base model for fine-tuning on dialogue generation (e.g., chat) and dialogue understanding (e.g., meeting summarization) tasks. Please note that due to its training, the model is prone to generate dialogues with disfluencies and other constructions common to spoken language.

## Typical usage

```python
import transformers
import torch

model_name = "OpenLLM-France/Claire-7B-0.1"

tokenizer = transformers.AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = transformers.AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name,
    device_map="auto",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    load_in_4bit=True                          # For efficient inference, if supported by the GPU card
)

pipeline = transformers.pipeline("text-generation", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
generation_kwargs = dict(
    num_return_sequences=1,                    # Number of variants to generate.
    return_full_text= False,                   # Do not include the prompt in the generated text.
    max_new_tokens=200,                        # Maximum length for the output text.
    do_sample=True, top_k=10, temperature=1.0, # Sampling parameters.
    pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,       # Just to avoid a harmless warning.
)

prompt = """\
- Bonjour Dominique, qu'allez-vous nous cuisiner aujourd'hui ?
- Bonjour Camille,\
"""
completions = pipeline(prompt, **generation_kwargs)
for completion in completions:
    print(prompt + " […]" + completion['generated_text'])
```
This will print something like:
```
- Bonjour Dominique, qu'allez-vous nous cuisiner aujourd'hui ?
- Bonjour Camille, […] je vous prépare un plat de saison, une daube provençale.
- Ah je ne connais pas cette recette.
- C'est très facile à préparer, vous n'avez qu'à mettre de l'eau dans une marmite, y mettre de l'oignon émincé, des carottes coupées en petits morceaux, et vous allez mettre votre viande de bœuf coupé en petits morceaux également.
- Je n'ai jamais cuisiné de viande de bœuf, mais c'est vrai que ça a l'air bien facile.
- Vous n'avez plus qu'à laisser mijoter, et ensuite il sera temps de servir les clients.
- Très bien.
```

You will need at least 6GB of VRAM to run inference using 4bit quantization (16GB of VRAM without 4bit quantization).

If you have trouble running this code, make sure you have recent versions of `torch`, `transformers` and `accelerate` (see [requirements.txt](requirements.txt)).

### Typical prompts

Claire-7B-0.1 was trained on diarized French conversations. During training, the dialogues were normalized in several formats. The possible formats for expected prompts are as follows:

A monologue can be specified as a single line prompt (though keep in mind that Claire might still return a dialogue because of its training):
```python
prompt = "Mesdames et messieurs les députés, chers collègues, bonsoir. Vous l'aurez peut-être remarqué, je cite rarement"
```

A dialogue between two speakers can be specified with one line per speech turn starting with a dash:
```python
prompt = """\
- Bonjour Dominique, qu'allez-vous nous cuisiner aujourd'hui ?
- Bonjour Camille,\
"""
```

A dialogue or multilogue (with two or more speakers) can be specified with lines that start with `[Intervenant X:]` where `X` is a number:
```python
prompt = """\
[Intervenant 1:] Bonjour Dominique, qu'allez-vous nous cuisiner aujourd'hui ?
[Intervenant 2:] Bonjour Camille,\
"""
```

A dialogue or multilogue with named speakers can be specified with lines that start with `[SpeakerName:]`
where `SpeakerName` can be a first name, a first and a last name, a nickname, a title…
```python
prompt = """\
[Mme Camille Durand:] Bonjour Dominique, qu'allez-vous nous cuisiner aujourd'hui ?
[Mr. Dominique Petit:] Bonjour Camille,\
"""
```

Training data was augmented with the following techniques:
* varying the format used to indicate speech turns (dashes or [XXX:])
* substituting [Intervenant X:] for [SpeakerName:] or vice versa, where [SpeakerName:] might be a real name or a randomly generated name
* removing punctuation marks and/or casing (to prepare the model for transcripts produced by some Automatic Speech Recognition systems)

Long conversations were truncated at a maximum of 2048 tokens. Where possible, they were split between speaker turns.

While the model has been trained and evaluated only on French dialogues, it may be able to generate conversations in other languages from the original Falcon-7b training data.


### Training Procedure

Claire-7B-0.1 is a causal decoder-only model trained on a causal language modeling task (i.e., predict the next token).
See [Falcon-7b](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b) for more details.

Claire-7B-0.1 was trained on 1 A100 80GB GPU for about 50 GPU hours.

Hyperparameters were the following:
| **Hyperparameter** | **Value**  |
|--------------------|------------|
| Precision          | `bfloat16` |
| Optimizer          | AdamW      |
| Learning rate      | 1e-4       |
| Weight decay       | 1e-2       |
| Batch size         | 132        |
| LoRA rank          | 16         |
| LoRA alpha         | 32         |
| Dropout            | 0.05       |
| gradient clipping  | 1          |

## Evaluation

To evaluate Claire-7B-0.1’s ability to generate natural sounding, French conversations, we compared its responses to a variety of prompts with those of three other models:
* [Falcon-7b](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b),
* [Mistral-7B-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1)
* [Claire-Mistral-7B-0.1](https://huggingface.co/OpenLLM-France/Claire-Mistral-7B-0.1) (a version of Mistral-7B-v0.1 adapted in the same fashion as Claire-7B-0.1)

We tested an even mixture of monologue and dialogue-style prompts.
Each of the four generated responses was evaluated along three dimensions:
Interaction, Fluency and Relevance.
Evaluators were also asked to rank the four responses by preference.

Our results confirm that continual pre-training of Falcon-7b and Mistral-7B-v0.1 leads to improvement (relative to the base models) along all three evaluation dimensions and that Claire-7B-0.1 outperforms the adapted Mistral counterpart in the Fluency and Relevance categories
(and in the Interaction category if we focus on dialogue-style prompts).

Ranking results also reveal a clear subjective preference for Claire-7B-0.1,
as shown in the following table:
<!--|                               | **Claire-Falcon** | **Claire-Mistral** | **Falcon** | **Mistral** | -->

|--------------------------------------|----------------------|-----------------------|---------------|---------------------|
| prefer<br /> **Claire-Falcon** ...  |                      | **62.2%**             | **63.9%**     | **83.8%**           |
| prefer<br /> **Claire-Mistral** ... | _34.8%_              |                       | **56.2%**     | **75.3%**           |
| prefer<br /> **Falcon** ...         | _36.1%_              | _43.8%_               |               | **81.4%**           |
| prefer<br /> **Mistral** ...        | _16.2%_              | _24.7%_               | _18.6%_       |                     |

(In this table,
"Claire-Falcon" stands for Claire-7B-0.1,
"Falcon", for [Falcon-7b](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b),
"Mistral", for [Mistral-7B-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1)
and "Claire-Mistral", for [Claire-Mistral-7B-0.1](https://huggingface.co/OpenLLM-France/Claire-Mistral-7B-0.1).)

Please note that the model can generate disfluencies and humorous responses as a result of its training on spoken and theatrical text.
