### About GGUF |
|
|
|
GGUF is a new format introduced by the llama.cpp team on August 21st 2023. It is a replacement for GGML, which is no longer supported by llama.cpp. |
|
|
|
Here is an incomplete list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF: |
|
|
|
* [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp). The source project for GGUF. Offers a CLI and a server option. |
|
* [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), the most widely used web UI, with many features and powerful extensions. Supports GPU acceleration. |
|
* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp), a fully featured web UI, with GPU accel across all platforms and GPU architectures. Especially good for story telling. |
|
* [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/), an easy-to-use and powerful local GUI for Windows and macOS (Silicon), with GPU acceleration. |
|
* [LoLLMS Web UI](https://github.com/ParisNeo/lollms-webui), a great web UI with many interesting and unique features, including a full model library for easy model selection. |
|
* [Faraday.dev](https://faraday.dev/), an attractive and easy to use character-based chat GUI for Windows and macOS (both Silicon and Intel), with GPU acceleration. |
|
* [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. |
|

## Compatibility |
|
|
|
These quantised GGUFv2 files are compatible with llama.cpp from August 27th onwards, as of commit [d0cee0d](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/d0cee0d36d5be95a0d9088b674dbb27354107221) |
|
|
|
They are also compatible with many third party UIs and libraries - please see the list at the top of this README. |
|
|
|
## Explanation of quantisation methods |
|
|
|
<details> |
|
<summary>Click to see details</summary> |
|
|
|
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 |

## How to download GGUF files |
|
|
|
**Note for manual downloaders:** You almost never want to clone the entire repo! Multiple different quantisation formats are provided, and most users only want to pick and download a single file. |
|
|
|
The following clients/libraries will automatically download models for you, providing a list of available models to choose from: |
|
|
|
* LM Studio |
|
* LoLLMS Web UI |
|
* Faraday.dev |
|
|
|
### In `text-generation-webui` |
|
|
|
Under Download Model, you can enter the model repo: TheBloke/Writing_Partner_Mistral_7B-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: writing_partner_mistral_7b.Q4_K_M.gguf. |
|
|
|
Then click Download. |
|
|
|
### On the command line, including multiple files at once |
|
|
|
I recommend using the `huggingface-hub` Python library: |
|
|
|
```shell |
|
pip3 install huggingface-hub |
|
``` |
|
|
|
Then you can download any individual model file to the current directory, at high speed, with a command like this: |
|
|
|
```shell |
|
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Writing_Partner_Mistral_7B-GGUF writing_partner_mistral_7b.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False |
|
``` |
|
|
|
<details> |
|
<summary>More advanced huggingface-cli download usage</summary> |
|
|
|
You can also download multiple files at once with a pattern: |
|
|
|
```shell |
|
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Writing_Partner_Mistral_7B-GGUF --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False --include='*Q4_K*gguf' |
|
``` |
|
|
|
For more documentation on downloading with `huggingface-cli`, please see: [HF -> Hub Python Library -> Download files -> Download from the CLI](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/guides/download#download-from-the-cli). |
|
|
|
To accelerate downloads on fast connections (1Gbit/s or higher), install `hf_transfer`: |
|
|
|
```shell |
|
pip3 install hf_transfer |
|
``` |
|
|
|
And set environment variable `HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER` to `1`: |
|
|
|
```shell |
|
HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Writing_Partner_Mistral_7B-GGUF writing_partner_mistral_7b.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False |
|
``` |
|
|
|
Windows Command Line users: You can set the environment variable by running `set HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1` before the download command. |
|

|
<!-- README_GGUF.md-how-to-run start --> |
|
## Example `llama.cpp` command |
|
|
|
Make sure you are using `llama.cpp` from commit [d0cee0d](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/d0cee0d36d5be95a0d9088b674dbb27354107221) or later. |
|
|
|
```shell |
|
./main -ngl 32 -m writing_partner_mistral_7b.Q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 2048 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "<|im_start|>system\n{system_message}<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>user\n{prompt}<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant" |
|
``` |
|
|
|
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 extended sequence models - eg 8K, 16K, 32K - the necessary RoPE scaling parameters are read from the GGUF file and set by llama.cpp automatically. |
|
|
|
If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the `-p <PROMPT>` 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) |
|
|
|
## How to run in `text-generation-webui` |
|
|
|
Further instructions can be found in the text-generation-webui documentation, here: [text-generation-webui/docs/04 ‐ Model Tab.md](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/main/docs/04%20%E2%80%90%20Model%20Tab.md#llamacpp). |
|
|
|
## How to run from Python code |
|
|
|
You can use GGUF models from Python using the [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python) or [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers) libraries. |
|
|
|
### How to load this model in Python code, using ctransformers |
|
|
|
#### First install the package |
|
|
|
Run one of the following commands, according to your system: |
|
|
|
```shell |
|
# Base ctransformers with no GPU acceleration |
|
pip install ctransformers |
|
# Or with CUDA GPU acceleration |
|
pip install ctransformers[cuda] |
|
# Or with AMD ROCm GPU acceleration (Linux only) |
|
CT_HIPBLAS=1 pip install ctransformers --no-binary ctransformers |
|
# Or with Metal GPU acceleration for macOS systems only |
|
CT_METAL=1 pip install ctransformers --no-binary ctransformers |
|
``` |
|
|
|
#### Simple ctransformers example code |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from ctransformers import AutoModelForCausalLM |
|
|
|
# Set gpu_layers to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Set to 0 if no GPU acceleration is available on your system. |
|
llm = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("TheBloke/Writing_Partner_Mistral_7B-GGUF", model_file="writing_partner_mistral_7b.Q4_K_M.gguf", model_type="mistral", gpu_layers=50) |
|
|
|
print(llm("AI is going to")) |
|
``` |
|
|
|

Hi there! I'm your writing assistant. |
|
|
|
Think of me as your partner in crime---or rather, your partner in writing. When you hit a wall (and trust me, you will), I'll be there to knock it down for you. |
|
|
|
If you find yourself stumped, I can help you think outside the box, whether you need to figure out what happens next, develop interesting sidekicks, or create a believable love interest. And if you get stuck on names for people or places, well, that's my specialty. |
|
|
|
Just give me a shout if you have questions, need advice, or want to bounce an idea off someone. Together, we'll turn your novel into a best seller! |
|
|
|
# Intended Use |
|
|
|
The purpose of this model isn't to write content for you (although it can), but rather to engage in a conversation about your writing process. |
|

Example 1: (I had ChatGPT generate a paragraph for a sci-fi story.) |
|
|
|
Here is an opening of my story: |
|
|
|
In the distant reaches of the cosmos, where starlight weaves a tapestry of unknown wonders, Captain Alara Voss navigated her spacecraft, the Celestial Serenity, through the interstellar currents. The ship hummed with the pulsating energy of the quantum drive, propelling them toward the uncharted nebula known as the Veil of Eternity. Alara's gaze was fixed on the swirling cosmic clouds ahead, her mind ablaze with the anticipation of discovery. As the Serenity pierced the ethereal veil, the fabric of reality seemed to dance with a mysterious resonance. Little did the intrepid crew know that beyond the shimmering curtain lay a realm where time itself wove a narrative that defied mortal understanding, setting the stage for an odyssey that would reshape the boundaries of human perception. |
|
|
|
>I like this opening! It sets up some interesting questions and intrigue right off the bat. But I do think you might want to reconsider your point of view in the first paragraph. Right now it sounds more like a summary than an actual scene because there isn't any dialogue or action. Consider starting with something more immediate, perhaps from Alara's perspective. You could even begin with her looking out at the stars, thinking about what she sees. This will give us a chance to get to know her better before you launch into the big picture stuff. Here's an example: |

>Alara Voss leaned against the cold metal railing of the observation deck, staring out into the infinite expanse of blackness that surrounded her ship. Stars dotted the night sky like scattered diamonds, each one a potential destination, each one a mystery waiting to be solved. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, savoring the feeling of freedom that washed over her. It had been months since they'd left Earth, and already their journey had taken them light-years away from everything they knew. Her thoughts were interrupted by the low hum of the quantum drive kicking in, signaling that they were ready to make another jump. She watched as the stars began to blur together, forming a shimmering pathway that led the way to their next adventure. |

>"Captain," came the voice of her second-in-command over the intercom. "We're entering the Veil of Eternity." |

|
>"Thank you, Ensign," Alara replied, not taking her eyes off the swirling vortex ahead. "Let's see what lies beyond." |

How to write proper dialogue? |
|
|
|
>Dialogue is a very important part of writing fiction. It's the way characters speak, and it helps define who they are. It also moves the story forward and adds tension, humor, or emotion. Dialogue must be realistic and natural-sounding, but it doesn't have to be boring. You want your readers to pay attention to what the characters are saying, so make sure that each line of dialogue counts. |
|

|
>Here are some tips on how to write good dialogue: |
|
> |
|
>- Keep it short. Long speeches get tedious quickly. If one character talks for more than two sentences, break up his speech with an action or interjection from another character. |
|
> |
|
>- Use contractions (I'm, he'll). They sound more like real conversation than formal language does. |
|
> |
|
>- Vary sentence structure. This makes dialogue easier to read and understand. |
|
> |
|
>- Don't use slang unless it fits the setting or character perfectly. Slang dates easily and may not mean anything to future generations. |
|
> |
|
>- Avoid using too many adverbs in dialogue tags. Instead of "he said loudly," try something like "he bellowed." Or "she whispered." |
|
> |
|
>- Be careful not to give away too much information in dialogue tags. For example, if you say "Sarah laughed nervously," you're telling the reader she was nervous rather than showing her anxiety through her words or actions. |
|
> |
|
>- Make sure your characters don't all talk alike. Each person should have a unique voice, based on his background, education, age, gender, etc. |
|
> |
|
>- Don't forget about body language. The way someone holds himself, sits, stands, fidgets, or looks at others can add depth to a scene. |
|
> |
|
>- Use dialogue to reveal character traits and motivations. Listen carefully to people around you, and then translate those conversations onto paper. |
|
> |
|
>- Finally, remember that dialogue needs to serve a purpose in your story. Whether it advances the plot, sets the mood, or creates conflict, every word spoken by your characters should move the narrative along. |
