How to easily download and use this model in text-generation-webui

Please make sure you're using the latest version of text-generation-webui

1. Click the Model tab.
2. Under Download custom model or LoRA, enter TheBloke/starchat-beta-GPTQ.
3. Click Download.
4. The model will start downloading. Once it's finished it will say "Done"
5. In the top left, click the refresh icon next to Model.
6. In the Model dropdown, choose the model you just downloaded: starchat-beta-GPTQ
7. The model will automatically load, and is now ready for use!
8. If you want any custom settings, set them and then click Save settings for this model followed by Reload the Model in the top right.

• Note that you do not need to set GPTQ parameters any more. These are set automatically from the file quantize_config.json.

9. Once you're ready, click the Text Generation tab and enter a prompt to get started!

How to use this GPTQ model from Python code

First make sure you have AutoGPTQ installed:

pip install auto-gptq

Then try the following example code:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, pipeline, logging
from auto_gptq import AutoGPTQForCausalLM, BaseQuantizeConfig
import argparse

model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/starchat-beta-GPTQ"
# Or to load it locally, pass the local download path
# model_name_or_path = "/path/to/models/The_Bloke_starchat-beta-GPTQ"

use_triton = False

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, use_fast=True)

model = AutoGPTQForCausalLM.from_quantized(model_name_or_path,
        use_safetensors=True,
        device="cuda:0",
        use_triton=use_triton,
        quantize_config=None)

# Prevent printing spurious transformers error when using pipeline with AutoGPTQ
logging.set_verbosity(logging.CRITICAL)

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)

prompt_template = "<|system|>\n<|end|>\n<|user|>\n{query}<|end|>\n<|assistant|>"
prompt = prompt_template.format(query="How do I sort a list in Python?")
# We use a special <|end|> token with ID 49155 to denote ends of a turn
outputs = pipe(prompt, max_new_tokens=256, do_sample=True, temperature=0.2, top_k=50, top_p=0.95, eos_token_id=49155)
# You can sort a list in Python by using the sort() method. Here's an example:\n\n```\nnumbers = [3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5]\nnumbers.sort()\nprint(numbers)\n```\n\nThis will sort the list in place and print the sorted list.
print(outputs[0]['generated_text'])

Provided files

gptq_model-4bit--1g.safetensors

This will work with AutoGPTQ and CUDA versions of GPTQ-for-LLaMa. There are reports of issues with Triton mode of recent GPTQ-for-LLaMa. If you have issues, please use AutoGPTQ instead.

It was created without group_size to lower VRAM requirements, and with --act-order (desc_act) to boost inference accuracy as much as possible.

• gptq_model-4bit--1g.safetensors
  • Works with AutoGPTQ in CUDA or Triton modes.
  • Works with text-generation-webui, including one-click-installers.
  • Does not work with GPTQ-for-LLaMa.
  • Parameters: Groupsize = -1. Act Order / desc_act = True.

Thanks, and how to contribute.

Thanks to the chirper.ai team!

I've had a lot of people ask if they can contribute. I enjoy providing models and helping people, and would love to be able to spend even more time doing it, as well as expanding into new projects like fine tuning/training.

If you're able and willing to contribute it will be most gratefully received and will help me to keep providing more models, and to start work on new AI projects.

Donaters will get priority support on any and all AI/LLM/model questions and requests, access to a private Discord room, plus other benefits.

Original model card: HuggingFaceH4's Starchat Beta

Model Card for StarChat Beta

StarChat is a series of language models that are trained to act as helpful coding assistants. StarChat Beta is the second model in the series, and is a fine-tuned version of StarCoderPlus that was trained on an "uncensored" variant of the openassistant-guanaco dataset. We found that removing the in-built alignment of the OpenAssistant dataset boosted performance on the Open LLM Leaderboard and made the model more helpful at coding tasks. However, this means that model is likely to generate problematic text when prompted to do so and should only be used for educational and research purposes.

Model Details

Model Description

• Model type: A 16B parameter GPT-like model fine-tuned on an "uncensored" variant of the openassistant-guanaco dataset.
• Language(s) (NLP): Primarily English and 80+ programming languages.
• License: BigCode Open RAIL-M v1
• Finetuned from model: bigcode/starcoderplus

Model Sources [optional]

• Repository: https://github.com/bigcode-project/starcoder
• Demo: https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/starchat-playground

Intended uses & limitations

The model was fine-tuned on a variant of the OpenAssistant/oasst1 dataset, which contains a diverse range of dialogues in over 35 languages. As a result, the model can be used for chat and you can check out our demo to test its coding capabilities.

Here's how you can run the model using the pipeline() function from 🤗 Transformers:

import torch
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="HuggingFaceH4/starchat-beta", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")

prompt_template = "<|system|>\n<|end|>\n<|user|>\n{query}<|end|>\n<|assistant|>"
prompt = prompt_template.format(query="How do I sort a list in Python?")
# We use a special <|end|> token with ID 49155 to denote ends of a turn
outputs = pipe(prompt, max_new_tokens=256, do_sample=True, temperature=0.2, top_k=50, top_p=0.95, eos_token_id=49155)
# You can sort a list in Python by using the sort() method. Here's an example:\n\n```\nnumbers = [3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5]\nnumbers.sort()\nprint(numbers)\n```\n\nThis will sort the list in place and print the sorted list.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

StarChat Alpha has not been aligned to human preferences with techniques like RLHF or deployed with in-the-loop filtering of responses like ChatGPT, so the model can produce problematic outputs (especially when prompted to do so). Models trained primarily on code data will also have a more skewed demographic bias commensurate with the demographics of the GitHub community, for more on this see the StarCoder dataset which is derived from The Stack.

Since the base model was pretrained on a large corpus of code, it may produce code snippets that are syntactically valid but semantically incorrect. For example, it may produce code that does not compile or that produces incorrect results. It may also produce code that is vulnerable to security exploits. We have observed the model also has a tendency to produce false URLs which should be carefully inspected before clicking.

StarChat Alpha was fine-tuned from the base model StarCoder Base, please refer to its model card's Limitations Section for relevant information. In particular, the model was evaluated on some categories of gender biases, propensity for toxicity, and risk of suggesting code completions with known security flaws; these evaluations are reported in its technical report.
