Here's what you need to know: **Original Falcon Models:** I am diligently working to provide updated quantized versions of the four original Falcon models to ensure their compatibility with the new llama.cpp versions. Please keep an eye on my Hugging Face Model pages for updates on the availability of these models. Promptly downloading them is essential to maintain compatibility with the latest llama.cpp releases. **Derived Falcon Models:** It's important to note that the derived Falcon-Models cannot be re-converted without adjustments from the original model creators. Therefore, the compatibility of these derived models with the new llama.cpp versions depends on the actions of the original model creators. So far, these models cannot be used in recent llama.cpp versions at all. **Stay Informed:** Application software using llama.cpp libraries will follow soon. Keep an eye on the release schedules of your favorite software applications that rely on llama.cpp. They will likely provide instructions on how to integrate the new models. **Monitor Upload Times:** Please keep a close watch on the upload times of the available files on my Hugging Face Model pages. This will help you identify which files have already been updated and are ready for download, ensuring you have the most current Falcon models at your disposal. **Download Promptly:** Once the updated Falcon models are available on my Hugging Face page, be sure to download them promptly to ensure compatibility with the latest [llama.cpp]([ggerganov/llama.cpp: Port of Facebook's LLaMA model in C/C++ (github.com)](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) versions. Please understand that this change specifically affects Falcon and Starcoder models, other models remain unaffected. Consequently, software providers may not emphasize this change as prominently. As a solo operator of this page, I'm doing my best to expedite the process, but please bear with me as this may take some time. OpenBuddy provides strong multiligual Model variants. On their Huggingface Organization Card they say: > Our mission with OpenBuddy is to provide a free, open, and offline-capable AI model that operates on users' devices, irrespective of their language or cultural background. We strive to empower individuals worldwide to access and benefit from AI technology. # About GGUF format `gguf` is the current file format used by the [`ggml`](https://github.com/ggerganov/ggml) library. A growing list of Software is using it and can therefore use this model. The core project making use of the ggml library is the [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) project by Georgi Gerganov # Quantization variants There is a bunch of quantized files available. How to choose the best for you: # legacy quants Q4_0, Q4_1, Q5_0, Q5_1 and Q8 are `legacy` quantization types. Nevertheless, they are fully supported, as there are several circumstances that cause certain model not to be compatible with the modern K-quants. Falcon 7B models cannot be quantized to K-quants. # K-quants K-quants are based on the idea that the quantization of certain parts affects the quality in different ways. If you quantize certain parts more and others less, you get a more powerful model with the same file size, or a smaller file size and lower memory load with comparable performance. So, if possible, use K-quants. With a Q6_K you should find it really hard to find a quality difference to the original model - ask your model two times the same question and you may encounter bigger quality differences. # Original Model Card: # OpenBuddy - Open Multilingual Chatbot GitHub and Usage Guide: [https://github.com/OpenBuddy/OpenBuddy](https://github.com/OpenBuddy/OpenBuddy) Website and Demo: [https://openbuddy.ai](https://openbuddy.ai) ![Demo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenBuddy/OpenBuddy/main/media/demo.png) # Copyright Notice License: Apache 2.0. ## Disclaimer All OpenBuddy models have inherent limitations and may potentially produce outputs that are erroneous, harmful, offensive, or otherwise undesirable.
