Nous Puffin 70B - GGML
- Model creator: NousResearch
- Original model: Nous Puffin 70B
Description
This repo contains GGML format model files for NousResearch's Nous Puffin 70B.
Important note regarding GGML files.
The GGML format has now been superseded by GGUF. As of August 21st 2023, llama.cpp no longer supports GGML models. Third party clients and libraries are expected to still support it for a time, but many may also drop support.
Please use the GGUF models instead.
About GGML
GPU acceleration is now available for Llama 2 70B GGML files, with both CUDA (NVidia) and Metal (macOS). The following clients/libraries are known to work with these files, including with GPU acceleration:
- llama.cpp, commit
e76d630and later. - text-generation-webui, the most widely used web UI.
- KoboldCpp, version 1.37 and later. A powerful GGML web UI, especially good for story telling.
- LM Studio, a fully featured local GUI with GPU acceleration for both Windows and macOS. Use 0.1.11 or later for macOS GPU acceleration with 70B models.
- llama-cpp-python, version 0.1.77 and later. A Python library with LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible API server.
- ctransformers, version 0.2.15 and later. A Python library with LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible API server.
Repositories available
- GPTQ models for GPU inference, with multiple quantisation parameter options.
- 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8-bit GGUF models for CPU+GPU inference

To use in llama.cpp, you must add -gqa 8 argument.
For other UIs and libraries, please check the docs.
Explanation of the new k-quant 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
- GGML_TYPE_Q8_K - "type-0" 8-bit quantization. Only used for quantizing intermediate results. The difference to the existing Q8_0 is that the block size is 256. All 2-6 bit dot products are implemented for this quantization type.

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.
How to run in llama.cpp
Make sure you are using llama.cpp from commit dadbed99e65252d79f81101a392d0d6497b86caa or earlier.
For compatibility with latest llama.cpp, please use GGUF files instead.
I use the following command line; adjust for your tastes and needs:
./main -t 10 -ngl 40 -gqa 8 -m nous-puffin-70b.ggmlv3.q4_K_M.bin --color -c 4096 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "### HUMAN:\n{prompt}\n\n### RESPONSE:"
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 you are fully offloading the model to GPU, use -t 1
Change -ngl 40 to the number of GPU layers you have VRAM for. Use -ngl 100 to offload all layers to VRAM - if you have a 48GB card, or 2 x 24GB, or similar. Otherwise you can partially offload as many as you have VRAM for, on one or more GPUs.
If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the -p <PROMPT> argument with -i -ins
Remember the -gqa 8 argument, required for Llama 70B models.
Change -c 4096 to the desired sequence length for this model. For models that use RoPE, add --rope-freq-base 10000 --rope-freq-scale 0.5 for doubled context, or --rope-freq-base 10000 --rope-freq-scale 0.25 for 4x context.
For other parameters and how to use them, please refer to the llama.cpp documentation

Original model card: NousResearch's Nous Puffin 70B
Redmond-Puffin-70B
Based off Puffin 13B which was the first commercially available language model released by Nous Research!
Compute provided by PygmalionAI, thank you! Follow PygmalionAI on Twitter @pygmalion_ai.
This is a larger version of Puffin which was originally the worlds first third-party llama-2 fine-tune. leveraging a hand curated set of 3K high quality examples, many of which take full advantage of the 4096 context length of Llama 2. This model was fine-tuned by Nous Research, with LDJ leading the training and dataset curation, along with significant dataset formation contributions by J-Supha.
Special thank you to Pygmalion AI for sponsoring the compute.
Special thank you to Emozilla for assisting with training experimentations and benchmarking.
Model Training
Redmond-Puffin 70B is a new model trained for multiple epochs on a dataset of 3,000 carefully curated GPT-4 examples, most of which are long context conversations between a real human and GPT-4.
Additional data came from carefully curated sub sections of datasets such as CamelAI's Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Math.
Prompt Format
The reccomended model usage is:
### human:
### response:
Optional reccomended pre-prompt / system prompt:
### human: Interact in conversation to the best of your ability, please be concise, logical, intelligent and coherent.
### response: Sure! sounds good.
When should I use Puffin or Hermes 2?
Although full benchmarks have not completed for Puffin, Original Puffin 13B and Hermes-2 13B both beat previous SOTA for GPT4ALL benchmarks, with Hermes-2 winning by a 0.1% margin over Puffin.
Overall, for general purpose zero-shot and/or single turn instructions, Hermes will likely be the way to go. Puffin may be prefferred for creative long conversation interactions, like having Puffin play a character or help brain storm creative ideas or concepts that make contextual sense within an already deep conversation.
Thank you to the comprehensive analysis and comparison of Puffin and Hermes by reddit user WolframRavenwolf here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/158j9r9/nous_hermes_llama2_vs_redmond_puffin_13b/
Example Outputs!:
Notable Features:
The first Llama-2 based fine-tuned model released by Nous Research.
Ability to recall information upto 2023 without internet (ChatGPT cut off date is in 2021)
Pretrained on 2 trillion tokens of text. (This is double the amount of most Open LLM's)
Pretrained with a context length of 4096 tokens, and fine-tuned on a significant amount of multi-turn conversations reaching that full token limit.
The first commercially available language model released by Nous Research.
Future Plans
This is a relatively early build amongst the grand plans for the future of Puffin!
Current limitations: Some token mismatch problems have been identified, these may effect the current output quality, we plan to have this solved in Puffin V2 along with other improvements.
How you can help!
In the near future we plan on leveraging the help of domain specific expert volunteers to eliminate any mathematically/verifiably incorrect answers from our training curations.
If you have at-least a bachelors in mathematics, physics, biology or chemistry and would like to volunteer even just 30 minutes of your expertise time, please contact LDJ on discord!
Benchmarks (New benchmarks coming soon, however here are the 13B benchmarks for now)!
As of Puffins release, it achieves a new SOTA for the GPT4All benchmarks! Supplanting Hermes for the #1 position! (Rounded to nearest tenth)
Previous Sota: Hermes - 68.8 New Sota: Puffin - 69.9 (+1.1)
Puffin 13B supplants Hermes-2 for the #1 spot in Arc-E, HellaSwag and Winogrande!
Puffin also perfectly ties with Hermes in PIQA, however Hermes-2 still excels in much of Big Bench and AGIEval, so it's highly reccomended you give it a try as well!
