## Provided files, and GPTQ parameters

Multiple quantisation parameters are provided, to allow you to choose the best one for your hardware and requirements.

Each separate quant is in a different branch.  See below for instructions on fetching from different branches.

Most GPTQ files are made with AutoGPTQ. Mistral models are currently made with Transformers.

<details>
  <summary>Explanation of GPTQ parameters</summary>

- Bits: The bit size of the quantised model.
- GS: GPTQ group size. Higher numbers use less VRAM, but have lower quantisation accuracy. "None" is the lowest possible value.
- Act Order: True or False. Also known as `desc_act`. True results in better quantisation accuracy. Some GPTQ clients have had issues with models that use Act Order plus Group Size, but this is generally resolved now.
- Damp %: A GPTQ parameter that affects how samples are processed for quantisation. 0.01 is default, but 0.1 results in slightly better accuracy.
- GPTQ dataset: The calibration dataset used during quantisation. Using a dataset more appropriate to the model's training can improve quantisation accuracy. Note that the GPTQ calibration dataset is not the same as the dataset used to train the model - please refer to the original model repo for details of the training dataset(s).
- Sequence Length: The length of the dataset sequences used for quantisation. Ideally this is the same as the model sequence length. For some very long sequence models (16+K), a lower sequence length may have to be used. Note that a lower sequence length does not limit the sequence length of the quantised model. It only impacts the quantisation accuracy on longer inference sequences.
- ExLlama Compatibility: Whether this file can be loaded with ExLlama, which currently only supports Llama and Mistral models in 4-bit.

## How to download, including from branches

### In text-generation-webui

To download from the `main` branch, enter `TheBloke/Claire-7B-0.1-GPTQ` in the "Download model" box.

To download from another branch, add `:branchname` to the end of the download name, eg `TheBloke/Claire-7B-0.1-GPTQ:gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True`

### From the command line

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

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

To download the `main` branch to a folder called `Claire-7B-0.1-GPTQ`:

```shell
mkdir Claire-7B-0.1-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Claire-7B-0.1-GPTQ --local-dir Claire-7B-0.1-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```

To download from a different branch, add the `--revision` parameter:

```shell
mkdir Claire-7B-0.1-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Claire-7B-0.1-GPTQ --revision gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True --local-dir Claire-7B-0.1-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```

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

If you remove the `--local-dir-use-symlinks False` parameter, the files will instead be stored in the central Hugging Face cache directory (default location on Linux is: `~/.cache/huggingface`), and symlinks will be added to the specified `--local-dir`, pointing to their real location in the cache. This allows for interrupted downloads to be resumed, and allows you to quickly clone the repo to multiple places on disk without triggering a download again. The downside, and the reason why I don't list that as the default option, is that the files are then hidden away in a cache folder and it's harder to know where your disk space is being used, and to clear it up if/when you want to remove a download model.

The cache location can be changed with the `HF_HOME` environment variable, and/or the `--cache-dir` parameter to `huggingface-cli`.

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
mkdir Claire-7B-0.1-GPTQ
HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Claire-7B-0.1-GPTQ --local-dir Claire-7B-0.1-GPTQ --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>

### With `git` (**not** recommended)

To clone a specific branch with `git`, use a command like this:

```shell
git clone --single-branch --branch gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Claire-7B-0.1-GPTQ
```

Note that using Git with HF repos is strongly discouraged. It will be much slower than using `huggingface-hub`, and will use twice as much disk space as it has to store the model files twice (it stores every byte both in the intended target folder, and again in the `.git` folder as a blob.)

## Python code example: inference from this GPTQ model

### Install the necessary packages

Requires: Transformers 4.33.0 or later, Optimum 1.12.0 or later, and AutoGPTQ 0.4.2 or later.

```shell
pip3 install --upgrade transformers optimum
# If using PyTorch 2.1 + CUDA 12.x:
pip3 install --upgrade auto-gptq
# or, if using PyTorch 2.1 + CUDA 11.x:
pip3 install --upgrade auto-gptq --extra-index-url https://huggingface.github.io/autogptq-index/whl/cu118/
```

If you are using PyTorch 2.0, you will need to install AutoGPTQ from source. Likewise if you have problems with the pre-built wheels, you should try building from source:

```shell
pip3 uninstall -y auto-gptq
git clone https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ
cd AutoGPTQ
git checkout v0.5.1
pip3 install .
```

### Example Python code

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

model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/Claire-7B-0.1-GPTQ"
# To use a different branch, change revision
# For example: revision="gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path,
                                             device_map="auto",
                                             trust_remote_code=False,
                                             revision="main")

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, use_fast=True)

prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''- Bonjour BotName, {prompt}
- Bonjour UserName,
'''

print("\n\n*** Generate:")

input_ids = tokenizer(prompt_template, return_tensors='pt').input_ids.cuda()
output = model.generate(inputs=input_ids, temperature=0.7, do_sample=True, top_p=0.95, top_k=40, max_new_tokens=512)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0]))

# Inference can also be done using transformers' 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,

# 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 /> **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.
