This repo contains GGML format model files for Open-Orca's LlongOrca 13B 16K.

The GGML format has now been superseded by GGUF. As of August 21st 2023, llama.cpp no longer supports GGML models. Third party clients and libraries are expected to still support it for a time, but many may also drop support.

Please use the GGUF models instead.

GGML files are for CPU + GPU inference using llama.cpp and libraries and UIs which support this format, such as:

<|im_start|>system
{system_message}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
{prompt}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant

These quantised GGML files are compatible with llama.cpp between June 6th (commit 2d43387) and August 21st 2023.

For support with latest llama.cpp, please use GGUF files instead.

The final llama.cpp commit with support for GGML was: dadbed99e65252d79f81101a392d0d6497b86caa

As of August 23rd 2023 they are still compatible with all UIs, libraries and utilities which use GGML. This may change in the future.

Note: the above RAM figures assume no GPU offloading. If layers are offloaded to the GPU, this will reduce RAM usage and use VRAM instead.

Make sure you are using llama.cpp from commit dadbed99e65252d79f81101a392d0d6497b86caa or earlier.

For compatibility with latest llama.cpp, please use GGUF files instead.

Change -t 10 to the number of physical CPU cores you have. For example if your system has 8 cores/16 threads, use -t 8.

Change -ngl 32 to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.

Change -c 2048 to the desired sequence length for this model. For example, -c 4096 for a Llama 2 model. For models that use RoPE, add --rope-freq-base 10000 --rope-freq-scale 0.5 for doubled context, or --rope-freq-base 10000 --rope-freq-scale 0.25 for 4x context.

If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the -p <PROMPT> argument with -i -ins

For other parameters and how to use them, please refer to the llama.cpp documentation

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.

Special thanks to: Aemon Algiz.

Thank you to all my generous patrons and donaters!

And thank you again to a16z for their generous grant.

We have used our own OpenOrca dataset to fine-tune on top of LLongMA-2-13b-16k. This dataset is our attempt to reproduce the dataset generated for Microsoft Research's Orca Paper. We use OpenChat packing, trained with Axolotl.

This release is trained on a curated filtered subset of most of our GPT-4 augmented data. It is the same subset of our data as was used in our OpenOrcaxOpenChat-Preview2-13B model.

HF Leaderboard evals place this model as #1 for all 13B long context models at release time. We achieve >112% the performance of the base LLongMA2-13b-16k model we tuned on top of. As well, we preserve >98% of the performance of the OpenOrcaxOpenChat-Preview2-13B model we share datasets with, while extending the context to 16k.

We did this training as part of testing setup of our H100 cluster.

Want to visualize our full (pre-filtering) dataset? Check out our Nomic Atlas Map.

Many thanks to @EnricoShippole, @theemozilla, and @kaiokendev1 for the fine work on creating the LlongMA-2-13b-16k model this was trained on top of!

We are in-process with training more models, so keep a look out on our org for releases coming soon with exciting partners.

We will also give sneak-peak announcements on our Discord, which you can find here:

We used OpenAI's Chat Markup Language (ChatML) format, with <|im_start|> and <|im_end|> tokens added to support this.

We have evaluated using the methodology and tools for the HuggingFace Leaderboard, and find that we have significantly improved upon the base long context model. We reach >112% of LLongMA2-13B-16k performance.

We have run our own tests using parameters matching the HuggingFaceH4 Open LLM Leaderboard evals.

We preserve >98% of OpenOrcaxOpenChat-Preview2-13B performance and are #1 on the leaderboard for long context 13B models at release time. We have >103% performance of the next 16k model (vicuna-13b-v1.5-16k).

As well, we expect the context extension techniques from LLongMA to be more robust than other 16k context models available.

We find we score higher than all non-OpenOrca models on the GPT4ALL leaderboard, while preserving ~98.7% of our OpenOrcaxOpenChat-Preview2-13B performance.

We used a curated, filtered selection of most of the GPT-4 augmented data from our OpenOrca dataset, which aims to reproduce the Orca Research Paper dataset. Further details of our curation practices will be forthcoming with our full model releases.

We trained with 8x H100 GPUs for 10 hours, completing 4 epochs of full fine tuning on our dataset in one training run. Commodity cost was ~$300.
