# DeepSeek-V2-Chat-GGUF

Quantizised from [https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Chat](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Chat)

Using llama.cpp [b3026](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/releases/tag/b3026) for quantizisation. Given the rapid release of llama.cpp builds, this will likely change over time.

# Warning: This will not work unless you set metadata KV overrides, nor will it in LM Studio/similar wrapper apps (except supported ones, see below)!

# How to use:

**Downloading the bf16:**

- Find the relevant directory
- Download all files
- Run merge.py
- Merged GGUF should appear

**Downloading the quantizations:**
- Find the relevant directory
- Download all files
- Point to the first split (most programs should load all the splits automatically now)

**Running in llama.cpp:**

To start in command line chat mode (chat completion):
```
main -m DeepSeek-V2-Chat.{quant}.gguf -c {context length} --color -c (-i)
```
To use llama.cpp's OpenAI compatible server:
```
server \
  -m DeepSeek-V2-Chat.{quant}.gguf \
  -c {context_length} \
  (--color [recommended: colored output in supported terminals]) \
  (-i [note: interactive mode]) \
  (--mlock [note: avoid using swap]) \
  (--verbose) \
  (--log-disable [note: disable logging to file, may be useful for prod]) \
  (--metrics [note: prometheus compatible monitoring endpoint]) \
  (--api-key [string]) \
  (--port [int]) \
  (--flash-attn [note: must be fully offloaded to supported GPU])
```
Making an importance matrix:
```
imatrix \
  -m DeepSeek-V2-Chat.{quant}.gguf \
  -f groups_merged.txt \
  --verbosity [0, 1, 2] \
  -ngl {GPU offloading; must build with CUDA} \
  --ofreq {recommended: 1}
```
Making a quant:
```
quantize \
  DeepSeek-V2-Chat.bf16.gguf \
  DeepSeek-V2-Chat.{quant}.gguf \
  {quant} \
  (--imatrix [file])
```

# Quants:
```
- bf16 [size: 439gb]
- q8_0 (uploading) [size: 233.27gb]
- q4_k_m [size: 132gb]
- q2_k [size: 80gb]
- iq2_xxs [size: 61.5gb]
- iq3_xs [size: 89.6gb]
- iq1_m (uploading) [size: 27.3gb]
- q3_k_m (uploading) [size: 92.6gb]
```

Note: Use iMatrix quants only if you can fully offload to GPU, otherwise speed will be affected a lot.

# Planned Quants (weighted/imatrix):
```
- q5_k_m
- q5_k_s
- q6_k
- iq4_xs
- iq2_xs
- iq2_s
- iq2_m
- iq1_s (note: for fun only, this quant is likely useless)
```

Use these metadata KV overrides (pass them using `--override-kv`, can be specified multiple times):
```
deepseek2.attention.q_lora_rank=int:1536
deepseek2.attention.kv_lora_rank=int:512
deepseek2.expert_shared_count=int:2
deepseek2.expert_feed_forward_length=int:1536
deepseek2.expert_weights_scale=float:16
deepseek2.leading_dense_block_count=int:1
deepseek2.rope.scaling.yarn_log_multiplier=float:0.0707
```

The Q8_0 quant contains these parameters, along with future ones, so as long as you're running a supported build of llama.cpp no `--override-kv` parameters are required.

# Censorship:

This model is quite censored, finetuning on toxic DPO might help.
