# Hermes LLongMA 2 13B 8K - GGML
- Model creator: [conceptofmind](https://huggingface.co/conceptofmind)
- Original model: [Hermes LLongMA 2 13B 8K](https://huggingface.co/conceptofmind/Hermes-LLongMA-2-13b-8k)
## Description
This repo contains GGML format model files for [conceptofmind's Hermes LLongMA 2 13B 8K](https://huggingface.co/conceptofmind/Hermes-LLongMA-2-13b-8k).
### Important note regarding GGML files.
The GGML format has now been superseded by GGUF. As of August 21st 2023, [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) no longer supports GGML models. Third party clients and libraries are expected to still support it for a time, but many may also drop support.
Please use the GGUF models instead.
### About GGML
GGML files are for CPU + GPU inference using [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) and libraries and UIs which support this format, such as:
* [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), the most popular web UI. Supports NVidia CUDA GPU acceleration.
* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp), a powerful GGML web UI with GPU acceleration on all platforms (CUDA and OpenCL). Especially good for story telling.
* [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/), a fully featured local GUI with GPU acceleration on both Windows (NVidia and AMD), and macOS.
* [LoLLMS Web UI](https://github.com/ParisNeo/lollms-webui), a great web UI with CUDA GPU acceleration via the c_transformers backend.
* [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.
## Repositories available
* [GPTQ models for GPU inference, with multiple quantisation parameter options.](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Hermes-LLongMA-2-13B-8K-GPTQ)
* [2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8-bit GGUF models for CPU+GPU inference](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Hermes-LLongMA-2-13B-8K-GGUF)
* [2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8-bit GGML models for CPU+GPU inference (deprecated)](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Hermes-LLongMA-2-13B-8K-GGML)

## Compatibility
These quantised GGML files are compatible with llama.cpp between June 6th (commit `2d43387`) and August 21st 2023.
For support with latest llama.cpp, please use GGUF files instead.
The final llama.cpp commit with support for GGML was: [dadbed99e65252d79f81101a392d0d6497b86caa](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/dadbed99e65252d79f81101a392d0d6497b86caa)
As of August 23rd 2023 they are still compatible with all UIs, libraries and utilities which use GGML. This may change in the future.
## Explanation of the new k-quant methods
Click to see details
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
* GGML_TYPE_Q8_K - "type-0" 8-bit quantization. Only used for quantizing intermediate results. The difference to the existing Q8_0 is that the block size is 256. All 2-6 bit dot products are implemented for this quantization type.

**Note**: the above RAM figures assume no GPU offloading. If layers are offloaded to the GPU, this will reduce RAM usage and use VRAM instead.
## How to run in `llama.cpp`
Make sure you are using `llama.cpp` from commit [dadbed99e65252d79f81101a392d0d6497b86caa](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/dadbed99e65252d79f81101a392d0d6497b86caa) or earlier.
For compatibility with latest llama.cpp, please use GGUF files instead.
```
./main -t 10 -ngl 32 -m hermes-llongma-2-13b-8k.ggmlv3.q4_K_M.bin --color -c 2048 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.\n\n### Instruction:\nWrite a story about llamas\n\n### Response:"
```
Change `-t 10` to the number of physical CPU cores you have. For example if your system has 8 cores/16 threads, use `-t 8`.
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 this model. For example, `-c 4096` for a Llama 2 model. For models that use RoPE, add `--rope-freq-base 10000 --rope-freq-scale 0.5` for doubled context, or `--rope-freq-base 10000 --rope-freq-scale 0.25` for 4x context.
If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the `-p ` 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)
