Nexusraven 13B - AWQ

• Model creator: Nexusflow
• Original model: Nexusraven 13B

Description

This repo contains AWQ model files for Nexusflow's Nexusraven 13B.

About AWQ

AWQ is an efficient, accurate and blazing-fast low-bit weight quantization method, currently supporting 4-bit quantization. Compared to GPTQ, it offers faster Transformers-based inference.

It is also now supported by continuous batching server vLLM, allowing use of Llama AWQ models for high-throughput concurrent inference in multi-user server scenarios.

As of September 25th 2023, preliminary Llama-only AWQ support has also been added to Huggingface Text Generation Inference (TGI).

Note that, at the time of writing, overall throughput is still lower than running vLLM or TGI with unquantised models, however using AWQ enables using much smaller GPUs which can lead to easier deployment and overall cost savings. For example, a 70B model can be run on 1 x 48GB GPU instead of 2 x 80GB.

Repositories available

• AWQ model(s) for GPU inference.
• GPTQ models for GPU inference, with multiple quantisation parameter options.
• 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8-bit GGUF models for CPU+GPU inference
• Nexusflow's original unquantised fp16 model in pytorch format, for GPU inference and for further conversions

Provided files, and AWQ parameters

For my first release of AWQ models, I am releasing 128g models only. I will consider adding 32g as well if there is interest, and once I have done perplexity and evaluation comparisons, but at this time 32g models are still not fully tested with AutoAWQ and vLLM.

Models are released as sharded safetensors files.

main	4	128	Evol Instruct Code	16384	7.25 GB

Serving this model from vLLM

Documentation on installing and using vLLM can be found here.

Note: at the time of writing, vLLM has not yet done a new release with AWQ support.

If you try the vLLM examples below and get an error about quantization being unrecognised, or other AWQ-related issues, please install vLLM from Github source.

• When using vLLM as a server, pass the --quantization awq parameter, for example:

python3 python -m vllm.entrypoints.api_server --model TheBloke/NexusRaven-13B-AWQ --quantization awq --dtype half

When using vLLM from Python code, pass the quantization=awq parameter, for example:

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

prompts = [
    "Hello, my name is",
    "The president of the United States is",
    "The capital of France is",
    "The future of AI is",
]
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)

llm = LLM(model="TheBloke/NexusRaven-13B-AWQ", quantization="awq", dtype="half")

outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)

# Print the outputs.
for output in outputs:
    prompt = output.prompt
    generated_text = output.outputs[0].text
    print(f"Prompt: {prompt!r}, Generated text: {generated_text!r}")

Serving this model from TGI

TGI merged support for AWQ on September 25th, 2023. At the time of writing you need to use the :latest Docker container: ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:latest

Add the parameter --quantize awq for AWQ support.

Example parameters:

--model-id TheBloke/NexusRaven-13B-AWQ --port 3000 --quantize awq --max-input-length 3696 --max-total-tokens 4096 --max-batch-prefill-tokens 4096

How to use this AWQ model from Python code

Install the necessary packages

Requires: AutoAWQ 0.0.2 or later

pip3 install autoawq

If you have problems installing AutoAWQ using the pre-built wheels, install it from source instead:

pip3 uninstall -y autoawq
git clone https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ
cd AutoAWQ
pip3 install .

You can then try the following example code

from awq import AutoAWQForCausalLM
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/NexusRaven-13B-AWQ"

# Load model
model = AutoAWQForCausalLM.from_quantized(model_name_or_path, fuse_layers=True,
                                          trust_remote_code=False, safetensors=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, trust_remote_code=False)

prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''{prompt}

'''

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

tokens = tokenizer(
    prompt_template,
    return_tensors='pt'
).input_ids.cuda()

# Generate output
generation_output = model.generate(
    tokens,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.7,
    top_p=0.95,
    top_k=40,
    max_new_tokens=512
)

print("Output: ", tokenizer.decode(generation_output[0]))

"""
# Inference should be possible with transformers pipeline as well in future
# But currently this is not yet supported by AutoAWQ (correct as of September 25th 2023)
from transformers import 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,
    top_k=40,
    repetition_penalty=1.1
)

print(pipe(prompt_template)[0]['generated_text'])
"""

Compatibility

The files provided are tested to work with:

• AutoAWQ
• vLLM
• Huggingface Text Generation Inference (TGI)

TGI merged AWQ support on September 25th, 2023: TGI PR #1054. Use the :latest Docker container until the next TGI release is made.

This model is a fine-tuned version of codellama/CodeLlama-13b-Instruct-hf.

Introducing NexusRaven-13B

NexusRaven is an open-source and commercially viable function calling LLM that surpasses the state-of-the-art in function calling capabilities.

📊 Performance Highlights: With our demonstration retrieval system, NexusRaven-13B achieves a 95% success rate in using cybersecurity tools such as CVE/CPE Search and VirusTotal, while prompting GPT-4 achieves 64%. It has significantly lower cost and faster inference speed compared to GPT-4.

🔧 Generalization to the Unseen: NexusRaven-13B generalizes to tools never seen during model training, achieving a success rate comparable with GPT-3.5 in zero-shot setting, significantly outperforming all other open-source LLMs of similar sizes.

🔥 Commercially Permissive: The training of NexusRaven-13B does not involve any data generated by proprietary LLMs such as GPT-4. You have full control of the model when deployed in commercial applications.

NexusRaven model usage

NexusRaven accepts a list of python functions. These python functions can do anything (including sending GET/POST requests to external APIs!). The two requirements include the python function signature and the appropriate docstring to generate the function call.

NexusRaven is highly compatible with langchain. See langchain_example.py. An example without langchain can be found in non_langchain_example.py

Please note that the model will reflect on the answer sometimes, so we highly recommend stopping the model generation at a stopping criteria of ["\nReflection:"], to avoid spending unnecessary tokens during inference, but the reflection might help in some rare cases. This is reflected in our langchain example.

The "Initial Answer" can be executed to run the function.

Training procedure

Training hyperparameters

The following hyperparameters were used during training:

• learning_rate: 3e-05
• train_batch_size: 1
• eval_batch_size: 1
• seed: 42
• distributed_type: multi-GPU
• num_devices: 8
• gradient_accumulation_steps: 16
• total_train_batch_size: 128
• total_eval_batch_size: 8
• optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.95) and epsilon=1e-08
• lr_scheduler_type: constant
• num_epochs: 2.0

Framework versions

• Transformers 4.33.2
• Pytorch 2.0.1+cu118
• Datasets 2.14.5
• Tokenizers 0.13.3

Limitations

1. We highly recommend using a stop criteria of ["\nReflection:"]. The model was trained to first generate an answer and then reflect on its answer to either improve the answer or keep the answer the same. However, this "chain of thought" is often not helpful, and the final answer is seldom better than the initial call. Therefore, we strongly recommend using the Initial Call as the main call to execute.
2. The model works best when it is connected with a retriever when there are a multitude of functions, as a large number of functions will saturate the context window of this model.
3. The model can be prone to generate incorrect calls. Please ensure proper guardrails to capture errant behavior is in place.

License

This model was trained on commercially viable data and is licensed under the Llama 2 community license following the original CodeLlama-13b-hf model.
