# LLongMA 2 7B - GGUF
- Model creator: [Enrico Shippole](https://huggingface.co/conceptofmind)
- Original model: [LLongMA 2 7B](https://huggingface.co/conceptofmind/LLongMA-2-7b)
## Description
This repo contains GGUF format model files for [ConceptofMind's LLongMA 2 7B](https://huggingface.co/conceptofmind/LLongMA-2-7b).
### 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.
The key benefit of GGUF is that it is a extensible, future-proof format which stores more information about the model as metadata. It also includes significantly improved tokenization code, including for the first time full support for special tokens. This should improve performance, especially with models that use new special tokens and implement custom prompt templates.
Here are a list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF:
* [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp).
* [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), the most widely used web UI, with many features and powerful extensions.
* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp), a fully featured web UI, with full GPU accel across multiple platforms and GPU architectures. Especially good for story telling.
* [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/), an easy-to-use and powerful 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 many interesting and unique features, including a full model library for easy model selection.
* [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.
* [candle](https://github.com/huggingface/candle), a Rust ML framework with a focus on performance, including GPU support, and ease of use.

## Compatibility
These quantised GGUF files are compatible with llama.cpp from August 21st 2023 onwards, as of commit [6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9)
They are now also compatible with many third party UIs and libraries - please see the list at the top of the README.
## Explanation of quantisation 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

**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.
## Example `llama.cpp` command
Make sure you are using `llama.cpp` from commit [6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9) or later.
For compatibility with older versions of llama.cpp, or for any third-party libraries or clients that haven't yet updated for GGUF, please use GGML files instead.
```
./main -t 10 -ngl 32 -m llongma-2-7b.q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 4096 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "{prompt}"
```
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`. If offloading all layers to GPU, set `-t 1`.
Change `-ngl 32` to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.
Change `-c 4096` to the desired sequence length for this model. 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 ` 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`

## 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 from Python using ctransformers
#### First install the package
```bash
# Base ctransformers with no GPU acceleration
pip install ctransformers>=0.2.24
# Or with CUDA GPU acceleration
pip install ctransformers[cuda]>=0.2.24

# Original model card: ConceptofMind's LLongMA 2 7B
LLongMA-2, a suite of Llama-2 models, trained at 8k context length using linear positional interpolation scaling. The model was trained in collaboration with Emozilla of NousResearch and Kaiokendev.
We worked directly with Kaiokendev, to extend the context length of the Llama-2 7b model through fine-tuning. The models pass all our evaluations and maintain the same perplexity at 8k extrapolation surpassing the performance of other recent methodologies.
The model has identical performance to LLaMA 2 under 4k context length, performance scales directly to 8k, and works out-of-the-box with the new version of transformers (4.31) or with `trust_remote_code` for <= 4.30.
A Llama-2 13b model trained at 8k will release soon on huggingface here: https://huggingface.co/conceptofmind/LLongMA-2-13b
Applying the method to the rotary position embedding requires only slight changes to the model's code by dividing the positional index, t, by a scaling factor.
The repository containing u/emozilla’s implementation of scaled rotary embeddings can be found here: https://github.com/jquesnelle/scaled-rope
If you would like to learn more about scaling rotary embeddings, I would strongly recommend reading u/kaiokendev's blog posts on his findings: https://kaiokendev.github.io/
A PR to add scaled rotary embeddings to Huggingface transformers has been added by u/joao_gante and merged: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/24653
The model was trained for ~1 billion tokens on Togethercompute's Red Pajama dataset. The context length of the examples varies: https://huggingface.co/datasets/togethercomputer/RedPajama-Data-1T
The pre-tokenized dataset will be available here for you to use soon: https://huggingface.co/datasets/conceptofmind/rp-llama-2-7b-tokenized-chunked
I would also recommend checking out the phenomenal research by Ofir Press on ALiBi which laid the foundation for many of these scaling techniques: https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.12409
It is also worth reviewing the paper, A Length-Extrapolatable Transformer, and xPos technique which also applies scaling to rotary embeddings: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.10554.pdf
We previously trained the first publicly available model with rotary embedding scaling here: https://twitter.com/EnricoShippole/status/1655599301454594049?s=20
A Llama-2 13b model trained at 8k will release soon. As well as a suite of Llama-2 models trained at 16k context lengths will be released soon.
You can find out more about the NousResearch organization here: https://huggingface.co/NousResearch
The compute for this model release is all thanks to the generous sponsorship by CarperAI, Emad Mostaque, and StabilityAI. This is not an official StabilityAI product.
If you have any questions about the data or model be sure to reach out and ask! I will try to respond promptly.
The previous suite of LLongMA model releases can be found here: https://twitter.com/EnricoShippole/status/1677346578720256000?s=20
All of the models can be found on Huggingface: https://huggingface.co/conceptofmind
