Known compatible clients / servers

GPTQ models are currently supported on Linux (NVidia/AMD) and Windows (NVidia only). macOS users: please use GGUF models.

These GPTQ models are known to work in the following inference servers/webuis.

This may not be a complete list; if you know of others, please let me know!

Provided files, and GPTQ parameters

Multiple quantisation parameters are provided, to allow you to choose the best one for your hardware and requirements.

Each separate quant is in a different branch. See below for instructions on fetching from different branches.

Most GPTQ files are made with AutoGPTQ. Mistral models are currently made with Transformers.

Explanation of GPTQ parameters

Bits: The bit size of the quantised model.
GS: GPTQ group size. Higher numbers use less VRAM, but have lower quantisation accuracy. "None" is the lowest possible value.
Act Order: True or False. Also known as desc_act. True results in better quantisation accuracy. Some GPTQ clients have had issues with models that use Act Order plus Group Size, but this is generally resolved now.
Damp %: A GPTQ parameter that affects how samples are processed for quantisation. 0.01 is default, but 0.1 results in slightly better accuracy.
GPTQ dataset: The calibration dataset used during quantisation. Using a dataset more appropriate to the model's training can improve quantisation accuracy. Note that the GPTQ calibration dataset is not the same as the dataset used to train the model - please refer to the original model repo for details of the training dataset(s).
Sequence Length: The length of the dataset sequences used for quantisation. Ideally this is the same as the model sequence length. For some very long sequence models (16+K), a lower sequence length may have to be used. Note that a lower sequence length does not limit the sequence length of the quantised model. It only impacts the quantisation accuracy on longer inference sequences.
ExLlama Compatibility: Whether this file can be loaded with ExLlama, which currently only supports Llama and Mistral models in 4-bit.

Branch	Bits	GS	Act Order	Damp %	GPTQ Dataset	Seq Len	Size	ExLlama	Desc
main	4	None	Yes	0.1	VMware Open Instruct	4096	48.99 GB	Yes	4-bit, with Act Order. No group size, to lower VRAM requirements.
gptq-4bit-128g-actorder_True	4	128	Yes	0.1	VMware Open Instruct	4096	48.91 GB	Yes	4-bit, with Act Order and group size 128g. Uses even less VRAM than 64g, but with slightly lower accuracy.
gptq-3bit--1g-actorder_True	3	None	Yes	0.1	VMware Open Instruct	4096	39.64 GB	No	3-bit, with Act Order and no group size. Lowest possible VRAM requirements. May be lower quality than 3-bit 128g.
gptq-3bit-128g-actorder_True	3	128	Yes	0.1	VMware Open Instruct	4096	41.52 GB	No	3-bit, with group size 128g and act-order. Higher quality than 128g-False.

How to download, including from branches

In text-generation-webui

To download from the main branch, enter TheBloke/Aurora-Nights-103B-v1.0-GPTQ in the "Download model" box.

To download from another branch, add :branchname to the end of the download name, eg TheBloke/Aurora-Nights-103B-v1.0-GPTQ:gptq-4bit-128g-actorder_True

From the command line

I recommend using the huggingface-hub Python library:

pip3 install huggingface-hub

To download the main branch to a folder called Aurora-Nights-103B-v1.0-GPTQ:

shell

mkdir Aurora-Nights-103B-v1.0-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Aurora-Nights-103B-v1.0-GPTQ --local-dir Aurora-Nights-103B-v1.0-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False

To download from a different branch, add the --revision parameter:

shell

mkdir Aurora-Nights-103B-v1.0-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Aurora-Nights-103B-v1.0-GPTQ --revision gptq-4bit-128g-actorder_True --local-dir Aurora-Nights-103B-v1.0-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False

More advanced huggingface-cli download usage

If you remove the --local-dir-use-symlinks False parameter, the files will instead be stored in the central Hugging Face cache directory (default location on Linux is: ~/.cache/huggingface), and symlinks will be added to the specified --local-dir, pointing to their real location in the cache. This allows for interrupted downloads to be resumed, and allows you to quickly clone the repo to multiple places on disk without triggering a download again. The downside, and the reason why I don't list that as the default option, is that the files are then hidden away in a cache folder and it's harder to know where your disk space is being used, and to clear it up if/when you want to remove a download model.

The cache location can be changed with the HF_HOME environment variable, and/or the --cache-dir parameter to huggingface-cli.

For more documentation on downloading with huggingface-cli, please see: HF -> Hub Python Library -> Download files -> Download from the CLI.

To accelerate downloads on fast connections (1Gbit/s or higher), install hf_transfer:

pip3 install hf_transfer

And set environment variable HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER to 1:

shell

mkdir Aurora-Nights-103B-v1.0-GPTQ
HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Aurora-Nights-103B-v1.0-GPTQ --local-dir Aurora-Nights-103B-v1.0-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False

Windows Command Line users: You can set the environment variable by running set HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 before the download command.

With `git` (not recommended)

To clone a specific branch with git, use a command like this:

git clone --single-branch --branch gptq-4bit-128g-actorder_True https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Aurora-Nights-103B-v1.0-GPTQ

Note that using Git with HF repos is strongly discouraged. It will be much slower than using huggingface-hub, and will use twice as much disk space as it has to store the model files twice (it stores every byte both in the intended target folder, and again in the .git folder as a blob.)

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/Aurora-Nights-103B-v1.0-GPTQ.
- To download from a specific branch, enter for example TheBloke/Aurora-Nights-103B-v1.0-GPTQ:gptq-4bit-128g-actorder_True
- see Provided Files above for the list of branches for each option.
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: Aurora-Nights-103B-v1.0-GPTQ
The model will automatically 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.
- Note that you do not need to and should not set manual GPTQ parameters any more. These are set automatically from the file quantize_config.json.
Once you're ready, click the Text Generation tab and enter a prompt to get started!

Serving this model from Text Generation Inference (TGI)

It's recommended to 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/Aurora-Nights-103B-v1.0-GPTQ --port 3000 --quantize gptq --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"
prompt_template=f'''{system_message}
<|user|>
{prompt}
<|assistant|>
'''

client = InferenceClient(endpoint_url)
response = client.text_generation(
  prompt_template,
  max_new_tokens=128,
  do_sample=True,
  temperature=0.7,
  top_p=0.95,
  top_k=40,
  repetition_penalty=1.1
)

print(f"Model output: {response}")

Python code example: inference from this GPTQ model

Install the necessary packages

Requires: Transformers 4.33.0 or later, Optimum 1.12.0 or later, and AutoGPTQ 0.4.2 or later.

shell

pip3 install --upgrade transformers optimum
# If using PyTorch 2.1 + CUDA 12.x:
pip3 install --upgrade auto-gptq
# or, if using PyTorch 2.1 + CUDA 11.x:
pip3 install --upgrade auto-gptq --extra-index-url https://huggingface.github.io/autogptq-index/whl/cu118/

If you are using PyTorch 2.0, you will need to install AutoGPTQ from source. Likewise if you have problems with the pre-built wheels, you should try building from source:

shell

pip3 uninstall -y auto-gptq
git clone https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ
cd AutoGPTQ
git checkout v0.5.1
pip3 install .

Example Python code

python

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, pipeline

model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/Aurora-Nights-103B-v1.0-GPTQ"
# To use a different branch, change revision
# For example: revision="gptq-4bit-128g-actorder_True"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path,
                                             device_map="auto",
                                             trust_remote_code=False,
                                             revision="main")

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, use_fast=True)

prompt = "Write a story about llamas"
system_message = "You are a story writing assistant"
prompt_template=f'''{system_message}
<|user|>
{prompt}
<|assistant|>
'''

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

input_ids = tokenizer(prompt_template, return_tensors='pt').input_ids.cuda()
output = model.generate(inputs=input_ids, temperature=0.7, do_sample=True, top_p=0.95, top_k=40, max_new_tokens=512)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0]))

# Inference can also be done using transformers' pipeline

print("*** Pipeline:")
pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model,
    tokenizer=tokenizer,
    max_new_tokens=512,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.7,

Original model card: Sophosympatheia's Aurora Nights 103B v1.0

Overview

This model is a frankenmerge of Aurora-Nights-70B-v1.0 with itself. (See that model card for details on what's in the blend.) It features 120 layers and should weigh in at 103b parameters.

This model is a successor to Rogue Rose and improves upon it. Aurora follows instructions better but retains excellent creative writing and ERP abilities.

This model turned out quite uncensored. You are responsible for whatever you do with it.

This model was designed for roleplaying and storytelling and I think it does well at both. It should perform well at other tasks, but I haven't tested its capabilities in other areas.

Sampler Tips

I recommend using the new Min-P sampler method with this model. The creator has a great guide to it on Reddit.

I find this model performs reasonably well at 8192 context but you will likely get better results at 4096.

Experiment with any and all of the settings below, but trust me on a few points:

This model loves high temperatures with Min-P.
Frequency Penalty set to 0.01 is like adding a dash of salt to the dish. Go higher at your own peril. 0 is fine too, but gosh I like 0.01.

If you save the below settings as a .json file, you can import them directly into Silly Tavern.

Prompt Tips

Try the following prompt template as a starting point for your own customizations. 'This is very important to my career' is from this paper. I recommend the Tulu instruction format.

This model responds to prompting! I highly recommend playing with your system prompt to see how it reacts.

If you save this as a .json file, you can import it directly into Silly Tavern.
