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.

It is supported by:

Text Generation Webui - using Loader: AutoAWQ
vLLM - Llama and Mistral models only
Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)
AutoAWQ - for use from Python code

Repositories available

Prompt template: AquilaChat

System: A chat between a curious human and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the human's questions.

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.

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

Please make sure you're using the latest version of text-generation-webui.

It is strongly recommended to use the text-generation-webui one-click-installers unless you're sure you know how to make a manual install.

Click the Model tab.
Under Download custom model or LoRA, enter TheBloke/AquilaChat2-34B-16K-AWQ.
Click Download.
The model will start downloading. Once it's finished it will say "Done".
In the top left, click the refresh icon next to Model.
In the Model dropdown, choose the model you just downloaded: AquilaChat2-34B-16K-AWQ
Select Loader: AutoAWQ.
Click Load, and the model will load and is now ready for use.
If you want any custom settings, set them and then click Save settings for this model followed by Reload the Model in the top right.
Once you're ready, click the Text Generation tab and enter a prompt to get started!

Multi-user inference server: vLLM

Documentation on installing and using vLLM can be found here.

Please ensure you are using vLLM version 0.2 or later.
When using vLLM as a server, pass the --quantization awq parameter.

For example:

python3 python -m vllm.entrypoints.api_server --model TheBloke/AquilaChat2-34B-16K-AWQ --quantization awq

When using vLLM from Python code, again set quantization=awq.

For example:

python

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

prompts = [
    "Tell me about AI",
    "Write a story about llamas",
    "What is 291 - 150?",
    "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?",
]

prompts = [prompt_template.format(prompt=prompt) for prompt in prompts]

sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)

llm = LLM(model="TheBloke/AquilaChat2-34B-16K-AWQ", quantization="awq", dtype="auto")

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}")

Multi-user inference server: Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)

Use TGI version 1.1.0 or later. The official Docker container is: ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:1.1.0

Example Docker parameters:

--model-id TheBloke/AquilaChat2-34B-16K-AWQ --port 3000 --quantize awq --max-input-length 3696 --max-total-tokens 4096 --max-batch-prefill-tokens 4096

Example Python code for interfacing with TGI (requires huggingface-hub 0.17.0 or later):

pip3 install huggingface-hub

python

from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient

endpoint_url = "https://your-endpoint-url-here"

prompt = "Tell me about AI"

                                  repetition_penalty=1.1)

print(f"Model output: ", response)

Inference from Python code using AutoAWQ

Install the AutoAWQ package

Requires: AutoAWQ 0.1.1 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 .

AutoAWQ example code

python

from awq import AutoAWQForCausalLM
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/AquilaChat2-34B-16K-AWQ"

# Load tokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, trust_remote_code=True)
# Load model

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.

We opensource our Aquila2 series, now including Aquila2, the base language models, namely Aquila2-7B and Aquila2-34B, as well as AquilaChat2, the chat models, namely AquilaChat2-7B and AquilaChat2-34B, as well as the long-text chat models, namely AquilaChat2-7B-16k and AquilaChat2-34B-16k

2023.10.25 🔥 AquilaChat2-34B-16K v1.2 is based on the previous AquilaChat2-34B-16K. The AquilaChat2-34B-16K-V1.2 has significantly improved long-text synthesis capabilities compared to the V1 version, approaching the level of GPT-3.5-16K. Additionally, the V1.2 version incorporates more conventional instruction fine-tuning corpora, enhancing its performance in non-long-text scenarios compared to the V1 version.

The additional details of the Aquila model will be presented in the official technical report. Please stay tuned for updates on official channels.

Quick Start AquilaChat2-34B-16K（Chat model）

1. Inference

import torch

device = torch.device("cuda:0")
model_info = "BAAI/AquilaChat2-34B-16k"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_info, trust_remote_code=True)
quantization_config=BitsAndBytesConfig(
                        load_in_4bit=True,
                        bnb_4bit_use_double_quant=True,

                        bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
                    )
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_info, trust_remote_code=True, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
                                                # quantization_config=quantization_config, # Uncomment this line for 4bit quantization
                                                )
model.eval()
model.to(device)
text = "请给出10个要到北京旅游的理由。"
from predict import predict
out = predict(model, text, tokenizer=tokenizer, max_gen_len=200, top_p=0.9,
              seed=123, topk=15, temperature=1.0, sft=True, device=device,
