AWQ is an efficient, accurate and blazing-fast low-bit weight quantization method, currently supporting 4-bit quantization. Compared to GPTQ, it offers faster Transformers-based inference.

It is also now supported by continuous batching server vLLM, allowing use of AWQ models for high-throughput concurrent inference in multi-user server scenarios. Note that, at the time of writing, overall throughput is still lower than running vLLM with unquantised models, however using AWQ enables using much smaller GPUs which can lead to easier deployment and overall cost savings. For example, a 70B model can be run on 1 x 48GB GPU instead of 2 x 80GB.

Provided files and AWQ parameters

For my first release of AWQ models, I am releasing 128g models only. I will consider adding 32g as well if there is interest, and once I have done perplexity and evaluation comparisons, but at this time 32g models are still not fully tested with AutoAWQ and vLLM.

Models are released as sharded safetensors files.

Branch	Bits	GS	AWQ Dataset	Seq Len	Size
main	4	128	wikitext	4096	7.25 GB

Serving this model from vLLM

Documentation on installing and using vLLM can be found here.

When using vLLM as a server, pass the --quantization awq parameter, for example:

python3 python -m vllm.entrypoints.api_server --model TheBloke/Karen_theEditor_13B-AWQ --quantization awq

When using vLLM from Python code, pass the quantization=awq parameter, for example:

python

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

prompts = [
    "Hello, my name is",
    "The president of the United States is",
    "The capital of France is",
    "The future of AI is",
]
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)

llm = LLM(model="TheBloke/Karen_theEditor_13B-AWQ", quantization="awq")

outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)

# Print the outputs.
for output in outputs:
    prompt = output.prompt
    generated_text = output.outputs[0].text
    print(f"Prompt: {prompt!r}, Generated text: {generated_text!r}")

How to use this AWQ model from Python code

Install the necessary packages

Requires: AutoAWQ 0.0.2 or later

pip3 install autoawq

If you have problems installing AutoAWQ using the pre-built wheels, install it from source instead:

shell

pip3 uninstall -y autoawq
git clone https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ
cd AutoAWQ
pip3 install .

You can then try the following example code

python

from awq import AutoAWQForCausalLM
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/Karen_theEditor_13B-AWQ"

# Load model
model = AutoAWQForCausalLM.from_quantized(model_name_or_path, fuse_layers=True,
                                          trust_remote_code=False, safetensors=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, trust_remote_code=False)

prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''You are a helpful AI assistant.

USER: {prompt}
ASSISTANT:

'''

print("\n\n*** Generate:")

tokens = tokenizer(
    prompt_template,
    return_tensors='pt'
).input_ids.cuda()

# Generate output
generation_output = model.generate(
    tokens,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.7,
    top_p=0.95,
    top_k=40,
    max_new_tokens=512
)

print("Output: ", tokenizer.decode(generation_output[0]))

# Inference can also be done using transformers' pipeline
from transformers import pipeline

print("*** Pipeline:")
pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model,
    tokenizer=tokenizer,
    max_new_tokens=512,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.7,
    top_p=0.95,
    top_k=40,
    repetition_penalty=1.1
)

print(pipe(prompt_template)[0]['generated_text'])

Compatibility

The files provided are tested to work with AutoAWQ, and vLLM.

Huggingface Text Generation Inference (TGI) is not yet compatible with AWQ, but a PR is open which should bring support soon: TGI PR #781.

Thanks, and how to contribute

Thanks to the chirper.ai team!

Thanks to Clay from gpus.llm-utils.org!

I've had a lot of people ask if they can contribute. I enjoy providing models and helping people, and would love to be able to spend even more time doing it, as well as expanding into new projects like fine tuning/training.

If you're able and willing to contribute it will be most gratefully received and will help me to keep providing more models, and to start work on new AI projects.

Donaters will get priority support on any and all AI/LLM/model questions and requests, access to a private Discord room, plus other benefits.

Original model card: FPHam's Karen The Editor 13B

Buy Karen Ko-fi

Karen is an editor for your fiction. (v.0.2)

Ah, Karen, a true peach among grammatical cucumbers! She yearns to rectify the missteps and linguistic tangles that infest your horribly written fiction.
Yet, unlike those ChatGPT kaboodles that morph into self-absorbed, constipated gurus of self-help style, Karen remains steadfastly grounded in wit and wisdom but respectfull of your style.

She is also absolute joy to chat with, although she may correct grammar in your chats too from time to time (As certain well known LLM said, "She is a radiant beacon of amusement")

She also has a particular soft spot for Llamas.

Quantized Karen version (Quantized by TheBloke)

Karen gets triggered by this prompt (pun intended):

USER: Edit the following for spelling and grammar mistakes: 
ASSISTANT:

Feed it a paragraph at a time - that's where she works best - a few sentences.

Here is my instruct yaml for oobabooga webui (in Instruct mode):

user: "USER: Edit the following for spelling and grammar mistakes: "
bot: "ASSISTANT:"
turn_template: "<|user|> <|user-message|>\n<|bot|> <|bot-message|></s>\n"
context: "Assistant is a meticulous senior editor with a specialization in editing fictional stories. When given text, Assistant detects and corrects grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, punctuation, capitalization, use of correct articles and correct present perfect and past perfect tense.\n"

I am not sure to what extend the context part has any effect. Doesn't hurt though.

This is a version 0.2 and finetuned just so it retains the underlaying Vicuna qualities.

Example:

Input

USER: Edit the following for spelling and grammar mistakes:
unce upon time lived name John who have pet monkey Jackie.
one day while walkin down the street he saw his friend Tom coming to him.
"Hey Tom" said John "hows it going?"

Tom replyied "Not too bad how 'bout yourself?". as they was talk Jackie sudden jump onto Tom shoulder and started play with his hair.
Tom look at John and ask "Is that yours?"

John reply "Yeah, this crazy lil guy follow me everywhere" just then Jackie grab hold of Tom glasses and try to take thmm off.
Tom struggle to keep his balance as he laugh hystericaly.

Output

ASSISTANT: Once upon a time there lived a man named John who had a pet monkey called Jackie.
One day while walking down the street he saw his friend Tom approaching him.
"Hey Tom," said John. "How's it going?"

Tom replied, "Not too bad, how about yourself?" As they were talking, Jackie suddenly jumped onto Tom's shoulder and began playing with his hair.
Tom looked at John and asked, "Is that yours?"

John replied, "Yeah, this crazy little guy follows me everywhere." Just then Jackie grabbed hold of Tom's glasses and tried to take them off.
Tom struggled to keep his balance as he laughed hysterically.

Goal: to create the best grammar checker you have ever seen

To do:

train on larger dataset, big, enormous, gargantuan
see if finetuning on just plain LLAMA without Vicuna would work better or worse (the theory is that it will be very focused on editing and nothing else)
explore what different settings (temperature, top_p, top_k do for this type of finetune)
create Rachel, the paraphrasing editor
