# VMware's Open Llama 7B v2 Open Instruct GGML
These files are GGML format model files for [VMware's Open Llama 7B v2 Open Instruct](https://huggingface.co/VMware/open-llama-7b-v2-open-instruct).
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:
* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp), a powerful GGML web UI with full GPU acceleration out of the box. Especially good for story telling.
* [LoLLMS Web UI](https://github.com/ParisNeo/lollms-webui), a great web UI with GPU acceleration via the c_transformers backend.
* [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/), a fully featured local GUI. Supports full GPU accel on macOS. Also supports Windows, without GPU accel.
* [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), the most popular web UI. Requires extra steps to enable GPU accel via llama.cpp backend.
* [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers), a Python library with LangChain support and OpenAI-compatible AI server.
* [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python), a Python library with OpenAI-compatible API server.

## Prompt template: Alpaca
```
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction: {prompt}
### Response:
```
## Compatibility
### Original llama.cpp quant methods: `q4_0, q4_1, q5_0, q5_1, q8_0`
These are guaranteed to be compatible with any UIs, tools and libraries released since late May. They may be phased out soon, as they are largely superseded by the new k-quant methods.
### New k-quant methods: `q2_K, q3_K_S, q3_K_M, q3_K_L, q4_K_S, q4_K_M, q5_K_S, q6_K`
These new quantisation methods are compatible with llama.cpp as of June 6th, commit `2d43387`.
They are now also compatible with recent releases of text-generation-webui, KoboldCpp, llama-cpp-python, ctransformers, rustformers and most others. For compatibility with other tools and libraries, please check their documentation.
## 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`
I use the following command line; adjust for your tastes and needs:
```
./main -t 10 -ngl 32 -m open-llama-7b-v2-open-instruct.ggmlv3.q4_0.bin --color -c 2048 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "### Instruction: Write a story about llamas\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`.
Change `-ngl 32` to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.
If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the `-p ` argument with `-i -ins`
## How to run in `text-generation-webui`

Sure, I can help you with that!
Attention mechanisms in transformer models are typically implemented using the attention mechanism in the self-attention layer. Self-attention allows the model to focus on different parts of the input sequence when processing it. This is achieved by computing a set of attention weights, which are used to weigh the contribution of each input element to the output.
Here's an example code using NumPy to illustrate how attention works in a transformer model:
```python
import numpy as np
def attention_weights(query, key, value, mask):
# Query, key, and value are input tensors. Mask is a tensor of zeros and ones that represents the attention mask.
# It is used to prevent the model from attending to certain positions in the input sequence if they are not relevant.
# The attention weights are the element-wise product of the query, key, and mask tensors.
# The result is a tensor of the same shape as the query tensor.
# Compute the dot product between the query tensor and the key tensor
dot = np.matmul(query, key)
# Compute the element-wise softmax of the dot product tensor
exp_dot = np.exp(dot)
# Multiply the dot product and the softmax of the dot product tensors
weights = dot * exp_dot
# Return the attention weights as a NumPy tensor
return weights
# Define the input sequence
query = np.array([[0.1, 0.2, 0.3], [0.4, 0.5, 0.6]])
key = np.array([[0.1, 0.2], [0.3, 0.4]])
value = np.array([[0.1, 0.2, 0.3], [0.4, 0.5, 0.6]])
mask = np.array([[False, True, True], [False, True, True]])
# Compute the attention weights
weights = attention_weights(query, key, value, mask)
# Print the attention weights
print(weights)
```
In this example, the `attention_weights` function takes as input the query tensor, key tensor, value tensor, and mask tensor. It computes the dot product between the query and key tensors using the `np.matmul` function, and then applies a softmax function using the `np.exp` function to the element-wise dot product tensor. It then multiplies the dot product and softmax tensors using the `np.matmul` function, and returns the result as a NumPy tensor.
The `query`, `key`, and `value` tensors represent the input sequence to the transformer model. The `mask` tensor represents the attention mask, which is used to prevent the model from attending to certain positions in the input sequence if they are not relevant.
The output of the `attention_weights` function is a NumPy tensor that represents the attention weights for the input sequence. These weights are used by the transformer model to weigh the contribution of each input element to the output.
I hope this helps!
