+## Licensing
+
+The creator of the source model has listed its license as `cc-by-nc-4.0`, and this quantization has therefore used that same license.
+
+As this model is based on Llama 2, it is also subject to the Meta Llama 2 license terms, and the license files for that are additionally included. It should therefore be considered as being claimed to be licensed under both licenses. I contacted Hugging Face for clarification on dual licensing but they do not yet have an official position. Should this change, or should Meta provide any feedback on this situation, I will update this section accordingly.
+
+In the meantime, any questions regarding licensing, and in particular how these two licenses might interact, should be directed to the original model repository: [KoboldAI's Llama2 13B Estopia](https://huggingface.co/KoboldAI/LLaMA2-13B-Estopia).

+## 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/LLaMA2-13B-Estopia-GPTQ` in the "Download model" box.
+
+To download from another branch, add `:branchname` to the end of the download name, eg `TheBloke/LLaMA2-13B-Estopia-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 `LLaMA2-13B-Estopia-GPTQ`:
+
+```shell
+mkdir LLaMA2-13B-Estopia-GPTQ
+huggingface-cli download TheBloke/LLaMA2-13B-Estopia-GPTQ --local-dir LLaMA2-13B-Estopia-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False
+```
+
+To download from a different branch, add the `--revision` parameter:
+
+```shell
+mkdir LLaMA2-13B-Estopia-GPTQ
+huggingface-cli download TheBloke/LLaMA2-13B-Estopia-GPTQ --revision gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True --local-dir LLaMA2-13B-Estopia-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 LLaMA2-13B-Estopia-GPTQ
+HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/LLaMA2-13B-Estopia-GPTQ --local-dir LLaMA2-13B-Estopia-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/LLaMA2-13B-Estopia-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.)

+# Original model card: KoboldAI's Llama2 13B Estopia
+
+# Introduction
+- Estopia is a model focused on improving the dialogue and prose returned when using the instruct format. As a side benefit, character cards and similar seem to have also improved, remembering details well in many cases.
+- It focuses on "guided narratives" - using instructions to guide or explore fictional stories, where you act as a guide for the AI to narrate and fill in the details.
+- It has primarily been tested around prose, using instructions to guide narrative, detail retention and "neutrality" - in particular with regards to plot armour. Unless you define different rules for your adventure / narrative with instructions, it should be realistic in the responses provided.
+- It has been tested using different modes, such as instruct, chat, adventure and story modes - and should be able to do them all to a degree, with it's strengths being instruct and adventure, with story being a close second.
+# Usage
+- The Estopia model has been tested primarily using the Alpaca format, but with the range of models included likely has some understanding of others. Some examples of tested formats are below:
+    - ```\n### Instruction:\nWhat colour is the sky?\n### Response:\nThe sky is...```
+    - ```<Story text>\n***\nWrite a summary of the text above\n***\nThe story starts by...```
+    - Using the Kobold Lite AI adventure mode
+    - ```User:Hello there!\nAssistant:Good morning...\n```
+- For settings, the following are recommended for general use:
+    - Temperature: 0.8-1.2
+    - Min P: 0.05-0.1
+    - Max P: 0.92, or 1 if using a Min P greater than 0
+    - Top K: 0
+    - Response length: Higher than your usual amount most likely - for example a common value selected is 512.
+        - Note: Response lengths are not guaranteed to always be this length. On occasion, responses may be shorter if they convey the response entirely, other times they could be upwards of this value. It depends mostly on the character card, instructions, etc.
+    - Rep Pen: 1.1
+    - Rep Pen Range: 2 or 3x your response length
+    - Stopping tokens (Not needed, but can help if the AI is writing too much):
+        - ```##||$||---||$||ASSISTANT:||$||[End||$||</s>``` - A single string for Kobold Lite combining the ones below
+        - ```##```
+        - ```---```
+        - ```ASSISTANT:```
+        - ```[End```
+        - ```</s>```
+- The settings above should provide a generally good experience balancing instruction following and creativity. Generally the higher you set the temperature, the greater the creativity and higher chance of logical errors when providing responses from the AI.
+# Recipe
+This model was made in three stages, along with many experimental stages which will be skipped for brevity. The first was internally referred to as EstopiaV9, which has a high degree of instruction following and creativity in responses, though they were generally shorter and a little more restricted in the scope of outputs, but conveyed nuance better.

+The second part of the merge was known as EstopiaV13. This produced responses which were long, but tended to write beyond good stopping points for further instructions to be added as it leant heavily on novel style prose. It did however benefit from a greater degree of neutrality as described above, and retained many of the detail tracking abilities of V9.

+The third step was a merge between the two to retain the benefits of both as much as possible. This was performed using the dare merging technique.
+```yaml

+    parameters:
+      weight: 1
+      density: 1

+# Model selection
+- Undi95/UtopiaXL-13B
+    - Solid all around base for models, with the ability to write longer responses and generally good retension to detail.
+- Doctor-Shotgun/cat-v1.0-13b
+    - A medical focused model which is added to focus a little more on the human responses, such as for psycology.
+- PygmalionAI/mythalion-13b
+    - A roleplay and instruct focused model, which improves attentiveness to character card details and the variety of responses
+- Undi95/Emerhyst-13B
+    - A roleplay but also longer form response model. It can be quite variable, but helps add to the depth and possible options the AI can respond with during narratives.
+- CalderaAI/13B-Thorns-l2
+    - A neutral and very attentive model. It is good at chat and following instructions, which help benefit these modes.
+- KoboldAI/LLaMA2-13B-Tiefighter
+    - A solid all around model, focusing on story writing and adventure modes. It provides all around benefits to creativity and the prose in models, along with adventure mode support.
+- chargoddard/rpguild-chatml-13b
+    - A roleplay model, which introduces new data and also improves the detail retention in longer narratives.
+# Notes
+- With the differing models inside, this model will not have perfect end of sequence tokens which is a problem many merges can share. While attempts have been made to minimise this, you may occasionally get oddly behaving tokens - this should be possible to resolve with a quick manual edit once and the model should pick up on it.
+- Chat is one of the least tested areas for this model. It works fairly well, but it can be quite character card dependant.
+- This is a narrative and prose focused model. As a result, it can and will talk for you if guided to do so (such as asking it to act as a co-author or narrator) within instructions or other contexts. This can be mitigated mostly by adding instructions to limit this, or using chat mode instead.
+# Future areas
+- Llava
+    - Some success has been had with merging the llava lora on this. While no in depth testing has been performed, more narrative responses based on the images could be obtained - though there were drawbacks in the form of degraded performance in other areas, and hallucinations due to the fictional focus of this model.
+- Stheno
+    - A merge which has similar promise from Sao. Some merge attempts have been made between the two and were promising, but not entirely consistent at the moment. With some possible refinement, this could produce an even stronger model.
+- DynamicFactor
+    - All the merges used have been based on llama two in this merge, but a dare merge with dynamic factor (an attempted refinement of llama two) showed a beneficial improvement to the instruction abilities of the model, along with lengthy responses. It lost a little of the variety of responses, so perhaps if a balance of it could be added the instruction abilities and reasoning could be improved even further.
