Known compatible clients / servers

These GPTQ models are known to work in the following inference servers/webuis.

This may not be a complete list; if you know of others, please let me know!

Provided files, and GPTQ parameters

Multiple quantisation parameters are provided, to allow you to choose the best one for your hardware and requirements.

Each separate quant is in a different branch. See below for instructions on fetching from different branches.

Most GPTQ files are made with AutoGPTQ. Mistral models are currently made with Transformers.

Explanation of GPTQ parameters

Bits: The bit size of the quantised model.
GS: GPTQ group size. Higher numbers use less VRAM, but have lower quantisation accuracy. "None" is the lowest possible value.
Act Order: True or False. Also known as desc_act. True results in better quantisation accuracy. Some GPTQ clients have had issues with models that use Act Order plus Group Size, but this is generally resolved now.
Damp %: A GPTQ parameter that affects how samples are processed for quantisation. 0.01 is default, but 0.1 results in slightly better accuracy.
GPTQ dataset: The calibration dataset used during quantisation. Using a dataset more appropriate to the model's training can improve quantisation accuracy. Note that the GPTQ calibration dataset is not the same as the dataset used to train the model - please refer to the original model repo for details of the training dataset(s).
Sequence Length: The length of the dataset sequences used for quantisation. Ideally this is the same as the model sequence length. For some very long sequence models (16+K), a lower sequence length may have to be used. Note that a lower sequence length does not limit the sequence length of the quantised model. It only impacts the quantisation accuracy on longer inference sequences.
ExLlama Compatibility: Whether this file can be loaded with ExLlama, which currently only supports Llama and Mistral models in 4-bit.

Branch	Bits	GS	Act Order	Damp %	GPTQ Dataset	Seq Len	Size	ExLlama	Desc
main	4	None	Yes	0.1	OpenErotica Erotiquant	4096	35.33 GB	Yes	4-bit, with Act Order. No group size, to lower VRAM requirements.
gptq-4bit-128g-actorder_True	4	128	Yes	0.1	OpenErotica Erotiquant	4096	36.65 GB	Yes	4-bit, with Act Order and group size 128g. Uses even less VRAM than 64g, but with slightly lower accuracy.
gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True	4	32	Yes	0.1	OpenErotica Erotiquant	4096	40.66 GB	Yes	4-bit, with Act Order and group size 32g. Gives highest possible inference quality, with maximum VRAM usage.
gptq-3bit--1g-actorder_True	3	None	Yes	0.1	OpenErotica Erotiquant	4096	26.77 GB	No	3-bit, with Act Order and no group size. Lowest possible VRAM requirements. May be lower quality than 3-bit 128g.
gptq-3bit-128g-actorder_True	3	128	Yes	0.1	OpenErotica Erotiquant	4096	28.03 GB	No	3-bit, with group size 128g and act-order. Higher quality than 128g-False.
gptq-3bit-32g-actorder_True	3	32	Yes	0.1	OpenErotica Erotiquant	4096	31.84 GB	No	3-bit, with group size 64g and act-order. Highest quality 3-bit option.

How to download, including from branches

In text-generation-webui

To download from the main branch, enter TheBloke/Aetheria-L2-70B-GPTQ in the "Download model" box.

To download from another branch, add :branchname to the end of the download name, eg TheBloke/Aetheria-L2-70B-GPTQ:gptq-4bit-128g-actorder_True

From the command line

I recommend using the huggingface-hub Python library:

pip3 install huggingface-hub

To download the main branch to a folder called Aetheria-L2-70B-GPTQ:

shell

mkdir Aetheria-L2-70B-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Aetheria-L2-70B-GPTQ --local-dir Aetheria-L2-70B-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False

To download from a different branch, add the --revision parameter:

shell

mkdir Aetheria-L2-70B-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Aetheria-L2-70B-GPTQ --revision gptq-4bit-128g-actorder_True --local-dir Aetheria-L2-70B-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False

More advanced huggingface-cli download usage

If you remove the --local-dir-use-symlinks False parameter, the files will instead be stored in the central Hugging Face cache directory (default location on Linux is: ~/.cache/huggingface), and symlinks will be added to the specified --local-dir, pointing to their real location in the cache. This allows for interrupted downloads to be resumed, and allows you to quickly clone the repo to multiple places on disk without triggering a download again. The downside, and the reason why I don't list that as the default option, is that the files are then hidden away in a cache folder and it's harder to know where your disk space is being used, and to clear it up if/when you want to remove a download model.

The cache location can be changed with the HF_HOME environment variable, and/or the --cache-dir parameter to huggingface-cli.

For more documentation on downloading with huggingface-cli, please see: HF -> Hub Python Library -> Download files -> Download from the CLI.

To accelerate downloads on fast connections (1Gbit/s or higher), install hf_transfer:

pip3 install hf_transfer

And set environment variable HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER to 1:

shell

mkdir Aetheria-L2-70B-GPTQ
HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Aetheria-L2-70B-GPTQ --local-dir Aetheria-L2-70B-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False

Windows Command Line users: You can set the environment variable by running set HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 before the download command.

With `git` (not recommended)

To clone a specific branch with git, use a command like this:

git clone --single-branch --branch gptq-4bit-128g-actorder_True https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Aetheria-L2-70B-GPTQ

Note that using Git with HF repos is strongly discouraged. It will be much slower than using huggingface-hub, and will use twice as much disk space as it has to store the model files twice (it stores every byte both in the intended target folder, and again in the .git folder as a blob.)

How to easily download and use this model in text-generation-webui

Original model card: The Royal Lab's Aetheria L2 70B

Aetheria-L2-70B

This is a Llama 2-based model consisting of a merge between:

This model combines the excellent Euryale v1.3 base with the DPO training of the Tulu v2 model and creative prose training of the GOAT Storytelling model. The LimaRP v3 qlora was then added for further roleplaying capability and the ability to tune the length of the outputs.

The goal was to create a capable 70B model for collaborative storytelling and roleplay.

Usage:

The intended prompt format is the Alpaca instruction format of LimaRP v3:

### Instruction:
Character's Persona: {bot character description}

User's Persona: {user character description}

Scenario: {what happens in the story}

Play the role of Character. You must engage in a roleplaying chat with User below this line. Do not write dialogues and narration for User.

### Input:
User: {utterance}

### Response:
Character: {utterance}

### Input
User: {utterance}

### Response:
Character: {utterance}

(etc.)

Message length control

Due to the inclusion of LimaRP v3, it is possible to append a length modifier to the response instruction sequence, like this:

### Input
User: {utterance}

### Response: (length = medium)
Character: {utterance}

This has an immediately noticeable effect on bot responses. The available lengths are: micro, tiny, short, medium, long, massive, huge, enormous, humongous, unlimited. The recommended starting length is medium. Keep in mind that the AI may ramble or impersonate the user with very long messages.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

The model will show biases similar to those observed in niche roleplaying forums on the Internet, besides those exhibited by the base model. It is not intended for supplying factual information or advice in any form.

Training Details

This model is a merge. Please refer to the link repositories of the merged models for details.
