# StableBeluga 7B - GGML
- Model creator: [Stability AI](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai)
- Original model: [StableBeluga 7B](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/StableBeluga-7b)
## Description
This repo contains GGML format model files for [Stability AI's StableBeluga 7B](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/StableBeluga-7b).
### Important note regarding GGML files.
The GGML format has now been superseded by GGUF. As of August 21st 2023, [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/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
GGML files are for CPU + GPU inference using [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) and libraries and UIs which support this format, such as:
* [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), the most popular web UI. Supports NVidia CUDA GPU acceleration.
* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp), a powerful GGML web UI with GPU acceleration on all platforms (CUDA and OpenCL). Especially good for story telling.
* [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/), a fully featured local GUI with GPU acceleration on both Windows (NVidia and AMD), and macOS.
* [LoLLMS Web UI](https://github.com/ParisNeo/lollms-webui), a great web UI with CUDA GPU acceleration via the c_transformers backend.
* [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers), a Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible AI server.
* [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python), a Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible API server.
## Repositories available

## Compatibility
These quantised GGML files are compatible with llama.cpp between June 6th (commit `2d43387`) and August 21st 2023.
For support with latest llama.cpp, please use GGUF files instead.
The final llama.cpp commit with support for GGML was: [dadbed99e65252d79f81101a392d0d6497b86caa](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/dadbed99e65252d79f81101a392d0d6497b86caa)
As of August 23rd 2023 they are still compatible with all UIs, libraries and utilities which use GGML. This may change in the future.
## 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](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/dadbed99e65252d79f81101a392d0d6497b86caa) or earlier.
For compatibility with latest llama.cpp, please use GGUF files instead.
```
./main -t 10 -ngl 32 -m stablebeluga-7b.ggmlv3.q4_K_M.bin --color -c 2048 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "### System:\n{system_message}\n\n### User:\n{prompt}\n\n### Assistant:"
```
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`.
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 this model. For example, `-c 4096` for a Llama 2 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.
If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the `-p ` 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)

## Model Description
`Stable Beluga 7B` is a Llama2 7B model finetuned on an Orca style Dataset
## Usage
Start chatting with `Stable Beluga 7B` using the following code snippet:
```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, pipeline
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("stabilityai/StableBeluga-7B", use_fast=False)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("stabilityai/StableBeluga-7B", torch_dtype=torch.float16, low_cpu_mem_usage=True, device_map="auto")
system_prompt = "### System:\nYou are StableBeluga, an AI that follows instructions extremely well. Help as much as you can. Remember, be safe, and don't do anything illegal.\n\n"
message = "Write me a poem please"
prompt = f"{system_prompt}### User: {message}\n\n### Assistant:\n"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
output = model.generate(**inputs, do_sample=True, top_p=0.95, top_k=0, max_new_tokens=256)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```
Stable Beluga 7B should be used with this prompt format:
```
### System:
This is a system prompt, please behave and help the user.
### User:
Your prompt here
### Assistant:
The output of Stable Beluga 7B
```
## Model Details
* **Developed by**: [Stability AI](https://stability.ai/)
* **Model type**: Stable Beluga 7B is an auto-regressive language model fine-tuned on Llama2 7B.
* **Language(s)**: English
* **Library**: [HuggingFace Transformers](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers)
* **License**: Fine-tuned checkpoints (`Stable Beluga 7B`) is licensed under the [STABLE BELUGA NON-COMMERCIAL COMMUNITY LICENSE AGREEMENT](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/StableBeluga-7B/blob/main/LICENSE.txt)
* **Contact**: For questions and comments about the model, please email `lm@stability.ai`
### Training Dataset
` Stable Beluga 7B` is trained on our internal Orca-style dataset
### Training Procedure
Models are learned via supervised fine-tuning on the aforementioned datasets, trained in mixed-precision (BF16), and optimized with AdamW. We outline the following hyperparameters:
| Dataset | Batch Size | Learning Rate |Learning Rate Decay| Warm-up | Weight Decay | Betas |
|-------------------|------------|---------------|-------------------|---------|--------------|-------------|
| Orca pt1 packed | 256 | 3e-5 | Cosine to 3e-6 | 100 | 1e-6 | (0.9, 0.95) |
| Orca pt2 unpacked | 512 | 3e-5 | Cosine to 3e-6 | 100 | 1e-6 | (0.9, 0.95) |
## Ethical Considerations and Limitations
Beluga is a new technology that carries risks with use. Testing conducted to date has been in English, and has not covered, nor could it cover all scenarios. For these reasons, as with all LLMs, Beluga's potential outputs cannot be predicted in advance, and the model may in some instances produce inaccurate, biased or other objectionable responses to user prompts. Therefore, before deploying any applications of Beluga, developers should perform safety testing and tuning tailored to their specific applications of the model.
