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

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/13B-HyperMantis-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/13B-HyperMantis-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/13B-HyperMantis-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'''Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

### Instruction:
{prompt}

### Response:

'''

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: digitous' 13B HyperMantis

13B-HyperMantis

is a weight-sum multi model-merge comprised of:

((MantiCore3E+VicunaCocktail)+(SuperCOT+(StorytellingV2+BluemoonRP))) [All 13B Models]

(GGML and GPTQ are no longer in this repo and will be migrated to a separate repo for easier git download convenience)

Subjective testing shows quality results with KoboldAI (similar results are likely in Text Generation Webui, please disregard KAI-centric settings for that platform); Godlike preset with these tweaks - 2048 context, 800 Output Length, 1.3 Temp, 1.13 Repetition Penalty, AltTextGen:On, AltRepPen:Off, No Prompt Gen:On

Despite being primarily uncensored Vicuna models at its core, HyperMantis seems to respond best to the Alpaca instruct format. Speculatively due to manticore's eclectic instruct datasets generalizing the model's understanding of following instruct formats to some degree. What is known is HyperMantis responds best to the formality of Alpaca's format, whereas Human/Assistant appears to trigger vestigial traces of moralizing and servitude that aren't conducive for roleplay or freeform instructions.

Here is an example of what to place in KAI's Memory (or TGUI's equivalent) to leverage chat as a Roleplay Adventure. [Define what the role of the named Human/AI are here, let's say our name is 'Player' and we named the AI 'Narrator']

Game Mode:Chat [Remember to name yourself and the AI and reference them in the instruction block]

### Instruction:

Make Narrator perform as a text based adventure game with Player as Narrator's user input. Make Narrator describe the scene, scenario, actions of characters, reactions of characters to the player's actions, and potential consequences of their actions and Player's actions when relevant with visually descriptive, detailed, and long storytelling. Allow characters and Player to converse to immerse Player in a rich narrative driven story. When Player encounters a new character, Narrator will name the new character and describe their behavior and appearance. Narrator will internally determine their underlying motivations and weave it into the story where possible.

### Response: [Put A Carriage Return Here]

In KAI, this is why 'No Prompt Gen:On' is important; make your first entry a short writeup of your current situation, or simply reiterate Narrator is a text adventure game and Player is the input. Then your next entry, despite simply being a chat interface, it will kick off what will happen next for Narrator to riff off of. In TGUI, an equivalent setup works the same. Of course, tailor this to whatever you want it to be; instruct models can be as versatile as your imagination. If things go sideways have fun.

Possibly also useful as a regular chatbot, waifu, husbando, TavernAI character, freeform instruct shenanigans, it's whatever. 4bit-128g safetensor [Cuda] included for convenience, might do ggml. Mileage may vary, warranty void if the void stares back.
