It follows the implementation of laserRMT @ https://github.com/cognitivecomputations/laserRMT and the novel training technique - we partially freeze the model according to a laser-like analysis (Official Paper soon) which effectively prevents the significant problem of language models forgetting previously acquired knowledge. This aspect is particularly crucial when attempting to teach the model specific skills, such as function calling.

We intend to be the first of a family of experimentations being carried out @ Cognitive Computations.

How to use

Install the necessary packages

pip install --upgrade autoawq autoawq-kernels transformers sentencepiece protobuf

Example Python code

python

from awq import AutoAWQForCausalLM
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, TextStreamer

model_path = "solidrust/fc-dolphin-2.6-mistral-7b-dpo-laser-AWQ"
system_message = "You are Dolphin, a helpful AI assistant."

# Load model
model = AutoAWQForCausalLM.from_quantized(model_path,
                                          fuse_layers=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path,
                                          trust_remote_code=True)
streamer = TextStreamer(tokenizer,
                        skip_prompt=True,
                        skip_special_tokens=True)

# Convert prompt to tokens
prompt_template = """\
<|im_start|>system
{system_message}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
{prompt}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant"""

prompt = "You're standing on the surface of the Earth. "\
        "You walk one mile south, one mile west and one mile north. "\
        "You end up exactly where you started. Where are you?"

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

# Generate output
generation_output = model.generate(tokens,
                                  streamer=streamer,
                                  max_new_tokens=512)

About AWQ

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 with equivalent or better quality compared to the most commonly used GPTQ settings.

AWQ models are currently supported on Linux and Windows, with NVidia GPUs only. macOS users: please use GGUF models instead.

It is supported by:

Text Generation Webui - using Loader: AutoAWQ
vLLM - version 0.2.2 or later for support for all model types.
Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)
Transformers version 4.35.0 and later, from any code or client that supports Transformers
AutoAWQ - for use from Python code

Prompt template: ChatML
