## 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.
All GPTQ files are made with AutoGPTQ.
Explanation of GPTQ parameters
- 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 issues with models that use Act Order plus Group Size.
- 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 dataset used for quantisation. Using a dataset more appropriate to the model's training can improve quantisation accuracy. Note that the GPTQ 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 models in 4-bit.

# Original model card: NousResearch's Nous Hermes Llama2 70B
# Model Card: Nous-Hermes-Llama2-70b
Compute provided by PygmalionAI, thank you! Follow PygmalionAI on Twitter @pygmalion_ai.
## Model Description
Nous-Hermes-Llama2-70b is a state-of-the-art language model fine-tuned on over 300,000 instructions. This model was fine-tuned by Nous Research, with Teknium and Emozilla leading the fine tuning process and dataset curation, Pygmalion sponsoring the compute, and several other contributors.
This Hermes model uses the exact same dataset as Hermes on Llama-1. This is to ensure consistency between the old Hermes and new, for anyone who wanted to keep Hermes as similar to the old one, just more capable.
This model stands out for its long responses, lower hallucination rate, and absence of OpenAI censorship mechanisms in the synthetic training data. The fine-tuning process was performed with a 4096 sequence length on an 8x H100 80GB machine.
## Model Training
The model was trained almost entirely on synthetic GPT-4 outputs. Curating high quality GPT-4 datasets enables incredibly high quality in knowledge, task completion, and style.
This includes data from diverse sources such as GPTeacher, the general, roleplay v1&2, code instruct datasets, Nous Instruct & PDACTL (unpublished), and several others, detailed further below
## Collaborators
The model fine-tuning and the datasets were a collaboration of efforts and resources between Teknium, Karan4D, Emozilla, Huemin Art, and Pygmalion AI.
Special mention goes to @winglian for assisting in some of the training issues.
Huge shoutout and acknowledgement is deserved for all the dataset creators who generously share their datasets openly.
Among the contributors of datasets:
- GPTeacher was made available by Teknium
- Wizard LM by nlpxucan
- Nous Research Instruct Dataset was provided by Karan4D and HueminArt.
- GPT4-LLM and Unnatural Instructions were provided by Microsoft
- Airoboros dataset by jondurbin
- Camel-AI's domain expert datasets are from Camel-AI
- CodeAlpaca dataset by Sahil 2801.

## Model Usage
The model is available for download on Hugging Face. It is suitable for a wide range of language tasks, from generating creative text to understanding and following complex instructions.
