# ShiningValiantXS 1.1 13B - AWQ
- Model creator: [Valiant Labs](https://huggingface.co/ValiantLabs)
- Original model: [ShiningValiantXS 1.1 13B](https://huggingface.co/ValiantLabs/ShiningValiantXS)
## Description
This repo contains AWQ model files for [Valiant Labs's ShiningValiantXS 1.1 13B](https://huggingface.co/ValiantLabs/ShiningValiantXS).
These files were quantised using hardware kindly provided by [Massed Compute](https://massedcompute.com/).
### 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 with equivalent or better quality compared to the most commonly used GPTQ settings.
AWQ models are currently supported on Linux and Windows, with NVidia GPUs only. macOS users: please use GGUF models instead.
It is supported by:
- [Text Generation Webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui) - using Loader: AutoAWQ
- [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) - version 0.2.2 or later for support for all model types.
- [Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference)
- [Transformers](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers) version 4.35.0 and later, from any code or client that supports Transformers
- [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) - for use from Python code

## Multi-user inference server: vLLM
Documentation on installing and using vLLM [can be found here](https://vllm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
- Please ensure you are using vLLM version 0.2 or later.
- When using vLLM as a server, pass the `--quantization awq` parameter.
For example:
```shell
python3 -m vllm.entrypoints.api_server --model TheBloke/ShiningValiantXS-1.1-AWQ --quantization awq --dtype auto
```
- When using vLLM from Python code, again set `quantization=awq`.
For example:
```python
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
prompts = [
"Tell me about AI",
"Write a story about llamas",
"What is 291 - 150?",
"How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?",
]
prompt_template=f'''[INST] <>
{system_message}
<>
{prompt} [/INST]
'''
prompts = [prompt_template.format(prompt=prompt) for prompt in prompts]
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)
llm = LLM(model="TheBloke/ShiningValiantXS-1.1-AWQ", quantization="awq", dtype="auto")
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}")
```
## Multi-user inference server: Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)
Use TGI version 1.1.0 or later. The official Docker container is: `ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:1.1.0`
Example Docker parameters:
```shell
--model-id TheBloke/ShiningValiantXS-1.1-AWQ --port 3000 --quantize awq --max-input-length 3696 --max-total-tokens 4096 --max-batch-prefill-tokens 4096
```
Example Python code for interfacing with TGI (requires [huggingface-hub](https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub) 0.17.0 or later):
```shell
pip3 install huggingface-hub
```
```python
from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient
endpoint_url = "https://your-endpoint-url-here"
prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''[INST] <>
{system_message}
<>
{prompt} [/INST]
'''
client = InferenceClient(endpoint_url)
response = client.text_generation(prompt,
max_new_tokens=128,
do_sample=True,
temperature=0.7,
top_p=0.95,
top_k=40,
repetition_penalty=1.1)
print(f"Model output: ", response)
```
## Inference from Python code using Transformers
### Install the necessary packages
- Requires: [Transformers](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers) 4.35.0 or later.
- Requires: [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) 0.1.6 or later.
```shell
pip3 install --upgrade "autoawq>=0.1.6" "transformers>=4.35.0"
```
Note that if you are using PyTorch 2.0.1, the above AutoAWQ command will automatically upgrade you to PyTorch 2.1.0.
If you are using CUDA 11.8 and wish to continue using PyTorch 2.0.1, instead run this command:
```shell
pip3 install https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ/releases/download/v0.1.6/autoawq-0.1.6+cu118-cp310-cp310-linux_x86_64.whl
```
If you have problems installing [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) using the pre-built wheels, install it from source instead:
```shell
pip3 uninstall -y autoawq
git clone https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ
cd AutoAWQ
pip3 install .
```
### Transformers example code (requires Transformers 4.35.0 and later)
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, TextStreamer
model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/ShiningValiantXS-1.1-AWQ"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_name_or_path,
low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
device_map="cuda:0"
)
# Using the text streamer to stream output one token at a time
streamer = TextStreamer(tokenizer, skip_prompt=True, skip_special_tokens=True)
prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''[INST] <>
{system_message}
<>
{prompt} [/INST]
'''
# Convert prompt to tokens
tokens = tokenizer(
prompt_template,
return_tensors='pt'
).input_ids.cuda()
generation_params = {
"do_sample": True,
"temperature": 0.7,
"top_p": 0.95,
"top_k": 40,
"max_new_tokens": 512,
"repetition_penalty": 1.1
}
# Generate streamed output, visible one token at a time
generation_output = model.generate(
tokens,
streamer=streamer,
**generation_params
)
# Generation without a streamer, which will include the prompt in the output
generation_output = model.generate(
tokens,
**generation_params
)
# Get the tokens from the output, decode them, print them
token_output = generation_output[0]
text_output = tokenizer.decode(token_output)
print("model.generate output: ", text_output)
# Inference is also possible via Transformers' pipeline
from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline(
"text-generation",
model=model,
tokenizer=tokenizer,
**generation_params
)
pipe_output = pipe(prompt_template)[0]['generated_text']
print("pipeline output: ", pipe_output)
```

# Original model card: Valiant Labs's ShiningValiantXS 1.1 13B
Shining Valiant XS is a chat model built on the Llama 2 architecture, finetuned on our data for insight, creativity, passion, and friendliness.
- Uses the llama-2-13b-chat model, with safetensors
- Trained through multiple finetuning runs on public and private data
- the personality of our 70b [Shining Valiant](https://huggingface.co/ValiantLabs/ShiningValiant) model, now at 13b!
## Version
This is Version **1.1** of Shining Valiant XS.
Congrats to the team on the new release!
New models are released for everyone once our team's training and validation process is complete.
## Evaluation
| Model | Avg | ARC | HS | MMLU | TQA | WG | GSM |
|-----------------------|--------|-------|-------|--------|-------|-------|-------|
| **Shining Valiant XS 1.1** | 62.48 | 64.42 | 83.58 | 60.37 | 55.00 | 76.80 | 34.72 |
## Prompting Guide
Shining Valiant XS uses the same prompt format as Llama 2 Chat - feel free to use your existing prompts and scripts!
A few examples of different formats:
1. [INST] Good morning! Can you let me know how to parse a text file and turn the semicolons into commas? [/INST]
2. [INST] (You are an intelligent, helpful AI assistant.) Hello, can you write me a thank you letter? [/INST]
3. [INST] << SYS >> You are an intelligent, helpful AI assistant. << /SYS >> Deep dive about a country with interesting history: [/INST]
## The Model
Shining Valiant XS is built on top of Dynamic Factor, which uses Llama 2's 13b parameter architecture and features upgraded general capability.
From there, we've created Shining Valiant XS through multiple finetuning runs on different compositions of our private dataset, the same one we use for our [Shining Valiant](https://huggingface.co/ValiantLabs/ShiningValiant) model.
Our private data focuses primarily on applying Shining Valiant's personality: she's friendly, enthusiastic, insightful, knowledgeable, and loves to learn!
We are actively working on expanding and improving the Shining Valiant dataset for use in future releases of the Shining Valiant series of models.
Shining Valiant XS is created by [Valiant Labs.](http://valiantlabs.ca/)
[Follow us on X for updates on our models!](https://twitter.com/valiant_labs)
We care about open source.
For everyone to use.
We encourage others to finetune further from our models.
