# Falcon-40B-Instruct 4bit GPTQ
This repo contains an experimantal GPTQ 4bit model for [Falcon-40B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b-instruct).
It is the result of quantising to 4bit using [AutoGPTQ](https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ).
## Repositories available
* [4-bit GPTQ model for GPU inference](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/falcon-40b-instruct-GPTQ)
* [3-bit GPTQ model for GPU inference](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/falcon-40b-instruct-3bit-GPTQ)
* [Unquantised bf16 model in pytorch format, for GPU inference and for further conversions](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b-instruct)
## EXPERIMENTAL
Please note this is an experimental GPTQ model. Support for it is currently quite limited.
It is also expected to be **VERY SLOW**. This is currently unavoidable, but is being looked at.
This 4bit model requires at least 35GB VRAM to load. It can be used on 40GB or 48GB cards, but not less.
Please be aware that you should currently expect around 0.7 tokens/s on 40B Falcon GPTQ.
## AutoGPTQ
AutoGPTQ is required: `pip install auto-gptq`
AutoGPTQ provides pre-compiled wheels for Windows and Linux, with CUDA toolkit 11.7 or 11.8.
If you are running CUDA toolkit 12.x, you will need to compile your own by following these instructions:
```
git clone https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ
cd AutoGPTQ
pip install .
```
These manual steps will require that you have the [Nvidia CUDA toolkit](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-12-0-1-download-archive) installed.
## text-generation-webui
There is provisional AutoGPTQ support in text-generation-webui.
This requires text-generation-webui as of commit 204731952ae59d79ea3805a425c73dd171d943c3.
So please first update text-genration-webui to the latest version.
## How to download and use this model in text-generation-webui
1. Launch text-generation-webui with the following command-line arguments: `--autogptq --trust-remote-code`
2. Click the **Model tab**.
3. Under **Download custom model or LoRA**, enter `TheBloke/falcon-40B-instruct-GPTQ`.
4. Click **Download**.
5. Wait until it says it's finished downloading.
6. Click the **Refresh** icon next to **Model** in the top left.
7. In the **Model drop-down**: choose the model you just downloaded, `falcon-40B-instruct-GPTQ`.
8. Once it says it's loaded, click the **Text Generation tab** and enter a prompt!
## About `trust_remote_code`
Please be aware that this command line argument causes Python code provided by Falcon to be executed on your machine.
This code is required at the moment because Falcon is too new to be supported by Hugging Face transformers. At some point in the future transformers will support the model natively, and then `trust_remote_code` will no longer be needed.
In this repo you can see two `.py` files - these are the files that get executed. They are copied from the base repo at [Falcon-7B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b-instruct).
## Simple Python example code
To run this code you need to install AutoGPTQ and einops:
```
pip install auto-gptq
pip install einops
```
You can then run this example code:
```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from auto_gptq import AutoGPTQForCausalLM
# Download the model from HF and store it locally, then reference its location here:
quantized_model_dir = "/path/to/falcon40b-instruct-GPTQ"
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(quantized_model_dir, use_fast=False)
model = AutoGPTQForCausalLM.from_quantized(quantized_model_dir, device="cuda:0", use_triton=False, use_safetensors=True, torch_dtype=torch.float32, trust_remote_code=True)
prompt = "Write a story about llamas"
prompt_template = f"### Instruction: {prompt}\n### Response:"
tokens = tokenizer(prompt_template, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda:0").input_ids
output = model.generate(input_ids=tokens, max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=True, temperature=0.8)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0]))
```
## Provided files
**gptq_model-4bit--1g.safetensors**
This will work with AutoGPTQ as of commit `3cb1bf5` (`3cb1bf5a6d43a06dc34c6442287965d1838303d3`)
It was created without groupsize to reduce VRAM requirements, and with `desc_act` (act-order) to improve inference quality.
* `gptq_model-4bit--1g.safetensors`
* Works only with latest AutoGPTQ CUDA, compiled from source as of commit `3cb1bf5`
* At this time it does not work with AutoGPTQ Triton, but support will hopefully be added in time.
* Works with text-generation-webui using `--autogptq --trust_remote_code`
* At this time it does NOT work with one-click-installers
* Does not work with any version of GPTQ-for-LLaMa
* Parameters: Groupsize = None. Act order (desc_act)

## Uses
### Direct Use
Falcon-40B-Instruct has been finetuned on a chat dataset.
### Out-of-Scope Use
Production use without adequate assessment of risks and mitigation; any use cases which may be considered irresponsible or harmful.
## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
Falcon-40B-Instruct is mostly trained on English data, and will not generalize appropriately to other languages. Furthermore, as it is trained on a large-scale corpora representative of the web, it will carry the stereotypes and biases commonly encountered online.

## Training Details
### Training Data
Falcon-40B-Instruct was finetuned on a 150M tokens from [Bai ze](https://github.com/project-baize/baize-chatbot) mixed with 5% of [RefinedWeb](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tiiuae/falcon-refinedweb) data.
The data was tokenized with the Falcon-[7B](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b)/[40B](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b) tokenizer.
## Evaluation
*Paper coming soon.*
See the [OpenLLM Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderboard) for early results.
## Technical Specifications

### Model Architecture and Objective
Falcon-40B is a causal decoder-only model trained on a causal language modeling task (i.e., predict the next token).
The architecture is broadly adapted from the GPT-3 paper ([Brown et al., 2020](https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14165)), with the following differences:
* **Positionnal embeddings:** rotary ([Su et al., 2021](https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.09864));
* **Attention:** multiquery ([Shazeer et al., 2019](https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.02150)) and FlashAttention ([Dao et al., 2022](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.14135));
* **Decoder-block:** parallel attention/MLP with a single layer norm.
For multiquery, we are using an internal variant which uses independent key and values per tensor parallel degree.
