# dolly-v2-7b: sharded checkpoint 

This is a sharded checkpoint (with ~4GB shards) of the `databricks/dolly-v2-7b` model. Refer to the [original model](https://huggingface.co/databricks/dolly-v2-7b) for all details.

- this enables low-RAM loading, i.e. Colab :)

## Basic Usage


install `transformers`, `accelerate`, and `bitsandbytes`.

```bash
pip install -U -q transformers bitsandbytes accelerate
```

Load the model in 8bit, then [run inference](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/generation_strategies#contrastive-search):

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model_name = "ethzanalytics/dolly-v2-7b-sharded"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
          model_name, load_in_8bit=True, device_map="auto",
        )
```
