# Yi 6B - AWQ
- Model creator: [01-ai](https://huggingface.co/01-ai)
- Original model: [Yi 6B](https://huggingface.co/01-ai/Yi-6B)
## Description
This repo contains AWQ model files for [01-ai's Yi 6B](https://huggingface.co/01-ai/Yi-6B).
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.
It is supported by:
- [Text Generation Webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui) - using Loader: AutoAWQ
- [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) - Llama and Mistral models only
- [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/Yi-6B-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'''{prompt}
'''
prompts = [prompt_template.format(prompt=prompt) for prompt in prompts]
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)
llm = LLM(model="TheBloke/Yi-6B-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/Yi-6B-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'''{prompt}
'''
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/Yi-6B-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'''{prompt}
'''
# 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: 01-ai's Yi 6B
## Introduction
The **Yi** series models are large language models trained from scratch by
developers at [01.AI](https://01.ai/). The first public release contains two
bilingual(English/Chinese) base models with the parameter sizes of 6B([`Yi-6B`](https://huggingface.co/01-ai/Yi-6B))
and 34B([`Yi-34B`](https://huggingface.co/01-ai/Yi-34B)). Both of them are trained
with 4K sequence length and can be extended to 32K during inference time.
The [`Yi-6B-200K`](https://huggingface.co/01-ai/Yi-6B-200K)
and [`Yi-34B-200K`](https://huggingface.co/01-ai/Yi-34B-200K) are base model with
200K context length.

While benchmarking open-source models, we have observed a disparity between the
results generated by our pipeline and those reported in public sources (e.g.
OpenCompass). Upon conducting a more in-depth investigation of this difference,
we have discovered that various models may employ different prompts,
post-processing strategies, and sampling techniques, potentially resulting in
significant variations in the outcomes. Our prompt and post-processing strategy
remains consistent with the original benchmark, and greedy decoding is employed
during evaluation without any post-processing for the generated content. For
scores that were not reported by the original authors (including scores reported
with different settings), we try to get results with our pipeline.
To evaluate the model's capability extensively, we adopted the methodology
outlined in Llama2. Specifically, we included PIQA, SIQA, HellaSwag, WinoGrande,
ARC, OBQA, and CSQA to assess common sense reasoning. SquAD, QuAC, and BoolQ
were incorporated to evaluate reading comprehension. CSQA was exclusively tested
using a 7-shot setup, while all other tests were conducted with a 0-shot
configuration. Additionally, we introduced GSM8K (8-shot@1), MATH (4-shot@1),
HumanEval (0-shot@1), and MBPP (3-shot@1) under the category "Math & Code". Due
to technical constraints, we did not test Falcon-180 on QuAC and OBQA; the score
is derived by averaging the scores on the remaining tasks. Since the scores for
these two tasks are generally lower than the average, we believe that
Falcon-180B's performance was not underestimated.
## Usage
Please visit our [github repository](https://github.com/01-ai/Yi) for general
guidance on how to use this model.
## Disclaimer
Although we use data compliance checking algorithms during the training process
to ensure the compliance of the trained model to the best of our ability, due to
the complexity of the data and the diversity of language model usage scenarios,
we cannot guarantee that the model will generate correct and reasonable output
in all scenarios. Please be aware that there is still a risk of the model
producing problematic outputs. We will not be responsible for any risks and
issues resulting from misuse, misguidance, illegal usage, and related
misinformation, as well as any associated data security concerns.
