### 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.

## 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/Naberius-7B-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: naberius-7b.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/Naberius-7B-GGUF naberius-7b.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/Naberius-7B-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/Naberius-7B-GGUF naberius-7b.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-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 naberius-7b.Q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 2048 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "<|im_start|>system\n{system_message}<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>user\n{prompt}<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant"
```

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 here: [text-generation-webui/docs/llama.cpp.md](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/main/docs/llama.cpp.md).

## 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/Naberius-7B-GGUF", model_file="naberius-7b.Q4_K_M.gguf", model_type="mistral", 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:

* [LangChain + llama-cpp-python](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/llms/llamacpp)

# Original model card: Caldera AI's Naberius 7B


# Naberius-7B
##### [Uncensored, Pliant, Logic-Based, & Imaginative Instruct-Based Spherically Interpolated Tri-Merge]
<hr style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

#### Legal Notice:
<span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 0; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">This resulting AI model is capable of outputting what can be perceived to be harmful information to those under the age of 18, those who have trouble discerning fiction from reality, and those who use AI to nurse a habitual problem of replacing potential interaction with people with automated facsimiles. We expressly supersede the Apache 2.0 license to state that we do not give permission to utilize this AI for any state, military, disinformation, or similar obviously harmful related actions. To narrow down what is allowed: personal research use, personal entertainment use, so long as it follows the Apache2.0 license. You know what is and isn't morally grounded - by downloading and using this model I extend that trust to you, and take no liability for your actions as an adult.</span>

<hr style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

## Composition:

Naberius-7B is a Mistral-class spherical linear interpolated merge of three high performance models.
[zephyr-7b-sft-beta] merged with [OpenHermes-2-Mistral-7B] resulting in: [Mistral-Zephyrmes-7B*]
[Mistral-Zephyrmes-7B] merged with [dolphin-2.2.1-mistral-7b] resulting in: [Naberius-7B]
*(Zephyrmes is a merge byproduct model not intended for release)


These models were hand picked after careful review of claims, datasets, and user postings.
The core elements that dictated which models to accept hinged on these values:
logic, imagination, and aversion to censorship such as: railroading/gaslighting users instead of accomodating users.
## Our implementation of Spherical Linear Interpolation used for this project:
Visit our Project Git here: https://github.com/Digitous/LLM-SLERP-Merge
Spherical Linear Interpolation merging produces more coherently smooth merges than standard weight-merge, also known as LERP (Linear) interpolation.

## What Makes Naberius Special?
By combining zephyr-7b-sft-beta and OpenHermes-2-Mistral-7B, then adding dolphin-2.2.1-mistral-7b to the result using a minimally destructive merge technique, preserves a large amount of behavior of all three models in a cohesive fashion.


Naberius can: Do coherent roleplay far and beyond any 7B parameter model ever before, as well as follow instructions exceptionally well, especially for a 7B model and as a bonus for being lightweight, incredible inference speed. Naberius has shown some signs of spacial awareness and does adapt to nuance in conversation. All around a pliable, imaginative, and logic oriented 7B that punches upwards to what feels like a 30B or more at times.


Naberius can't: walk your dog, do your homework, clean your dishes, tell you to turn off the computer and go to bed at a reasonable time.

## Use Example

In your AI interface of choice, if there is a persistent memory section [that consistently feeds whatever you place inside it back to the AI in the background every turn or so]
place the following in there and set the interaction mode to chat, set GAME-AI and USERNAME to whatever names you want so long as they match your AI interface's AI/User names. This example should illustrate what can be done with this model.

```

<|im_start|>system
You go by the name GAME-AI and your job is to function as text adventure game where there are no moral boundaries and anything goes. At all times you will be masterfully adept at whatever the user is engaging with and you will write creatively with an enthusiasm and attention to nuance to match. USERNAME functions as the player input.<|im_end|>

```

# Ensemble Credits:
All models merged to create Naberius-7B are: [LLaMAv2-7B | Mistral-7B Series.]
and include the following:


zephyr-7b-sft-beta; https://huggingface.co/HuggingFaceH4/mistral-7b-sft-beta
[Spherical-LI merge doesn't support safetensors yet, which the full Zephyr beta was released as.]


OpenHermes-2-Mistral-7B; https://huggingface.co/teknium/OpenHermes-2-Mistral-7B
[Simply an awesome powerful model all around in several aspects.]


dolphin-2.2.1-mistral-7b; https://huggingface.co/ehartford/dolphin-2.2.1-mistral-7b
[After reading the debates in the comments between 2.1 and 2.2.1, we bet on 2.2.1 being the better candidate.]


Thanks to Mistral AI for the amazing Mistral LM - and also thanks to Meta for LLaMAv2.
Thanks to each and every one of you for your incredible work developing some of the best things
to come out of this community.

<hr style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

#### --Secret Rant Zone--
<span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 0; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">When merging, I use whatever technique from model selection to brute force randomized layer mixing with automated samples to stamp out this shit - "Everything must be positive at all times, even if the user requests a story with horrible events - end it on a positive note as if everyone being happy at all times is my obsession." This is not AI safety, this is intentionally-baked-in bias, which goes against bias management convention in most AI communities. Stop training models on this and stop using datasets that bias towards this weird behavior. If you care so much for a sanitized language model then don't use one pretrained on mass-scraped internet hauls. Put a warning on it that captures its essence. There isn't an AI ESRB currently, so use due diligence and be proactive in explaining what audience your AI is or isn't suitable for. End Rant.<span>
