### About GGUF
GGUF is a new format introduced by the llama.cpp team on August 21st 2023. It is a replacement for GGML, which is no longer supported by llama.cpp.
Here is an incomplete list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF:
* [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp). The source project for GGUF. Offers a CLI and a server option.
* [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), the most widely used web UI, with many features and powerful extensions. Supports GPU acceleration.
* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp), a fully featured web UI, with GPU accel across all platforms and GPU architectures. Especially good for story telling.
* [GPT4All](https://gpt4all.io/index.html), a free and open source local running GUI, supporting Windows, Linux and macOS with full GPU accel.
* [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/), an easy-to-use and powerful local GUI for Windows and macOS (Silicon), with GPU acceleration. Linux available, in beta as of 27/11/2023.
* [LoLLMS Web UI](https://github.com/ParisNeo/lollms-webui), a great web UI with many interesting and unique features, including a full model library for easy model selection.
* [Faraday.dev](https://faraday.dev/), an attractive and easy to use character-based chat GUI for Windows and macOS (both Silicon and Intel), with GPU acceleration.
* [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python), a Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible API server.
* [candle](https://github.com/huggingface/candle), a Rust ML framework with a focus on performance, including GPU support, and ease of use.
* [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers), a Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible AI server. Note, as of time of writing (November 27th 2023), ctransformers has not been updated in a long time and does not support many recent models.

# UniNER-7B-all

**Description**: This model is the best UniNER model. It is trained on the combinations of three data splits: (1) ChatGPT-generated [Pile-NER-type data](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Universal-NER/Pile-NER-type), (2) ChatGPT-generated [Pile-NER-definition data](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Universal-NER/Pile-NER-definition), and (3) 40 supervised datasets in the Universal NER benchmark (see Fig. 4 in paper), where we randomly sample up to 10K instances from the train split of each dataset. Note that CrossNER and MIT datasets are excluded from training for OOD evaluation.

Check our [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.03279) for more information. Check our [repo](https://github.com/universal-ner/universal-ner) about how to use the model.

## Inference
The template for inference instances is as follows:
<div style="background-color: #f6f8fa; padding: 20px; border-radius: 10px; border: 1px solid #e1e4e8; box-shadow: 0 2px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);">
<strong>Prompting template:</strong><br/>
A virtual assistant answers questions from a user based on the provided text.<br/>
USER: Text: <span style="color: #d73a49;">{Fill the input text here}</span><br/>
ASSISTANT: I’ve read this text.<br/>
USER: What describes <span style="color: #d73a49;">{Fill the entity type here}</span> in the text?<br/>
ASSISTANT: <span style="color: #0366d6;">(model's predictions in JSON format)</span><br/>
</div>

### Note: Inferences are based on one entity type at a time. For multiple entity types, create separate instances for each type.
