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: Alpaca

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

### Instruction:
{prompt}

### Response:

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/LLaMA2-13B-TiefighterLR-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: LLaMA2-13B-TiefighterLR-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 -m vllm.entrypoints.api_server --model TheBloke/LLaMA2-13B-TiefighterLR-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?",
]

### Instruction:

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

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

llm = LLM(model="TheBloke/LLaMA2-13B-TiefighterLR-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/LLaMA2-13B-TiefighterLR-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"

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 .

Original model card: KoboldAI's Llama2 13B TiefighterLR

LLaMA2-13B-TiefighterLR

TiefighterLR is a merged model achieved trough merging two different lora's on top of a well established existing merge. This LR version contains Less Rodeo, merged at 3% from the original 5% reducing its second person adventure bias. Testers found this model to understand your own character and instruction prompts better, at the sacrifice of lowering its own writing bias/style.

To achieve this the following recipe was used:

We begin with the base model Undi95/Xwin-MLewd-13B-V0.2 which is a well established merge, contrary to the name this model does not have a strong NSFW bias.
Then we applied the PocketDoc/Dans-RetroRodeo-13b lora which is a finetune on the Choose your own Adventure datasets from our Skein model.
After applying this lora we merged the original model with the newly created PocketDoc/Dans-RetroRodeo-13b merge at 3% to weaken the newly introduced adventure bias.
The resulting merge was used as a new base model to which we applied Blackroot/Llama-2-13B-Storywriter-LORA and repeated the same trick, this time at 10%.

This means this model contains the following ingredients from their upstream models for as far as we can track them:

Undi95/Xwin-MLewd-13B-V0.2
- Undi95/ReMM-S-Light (base/private)
- Undi95/CreativeEngine
- Brouz/Slerpeno
- - elinas/chronos-13b-v2
  - jondurbin/airoboros-l2-13b-2.1
  - NousResearch/Nous-Hermes-Llama2-13b+nRuaif/Kimiko-v2 LORA
  - CalderaAI/13B-Legerdemain-L2+lemonilia/limarp-llama2-v2 LORA

Blackroot/Llama-2-13B-Storywriter-LORA

Usage

This model is meant to be creative, If you let it improvise you get better results than if you drown it in details.

Story Writing

Regular story writing in the traditional way is supported, simply copy paste your story and continue writing. Optionally use an instruction in memory or an authors note to guide the direction of your story.

Generate a story on demand

To generate stories on demand you can use an instruction (tested in the Alpaca format) such as "Write a novel about X, use chapters and dialogue" this will generate a story. The format can vary between generations depending on how the model chooses to begin, either write what you want as shown in the earlier example or write the beginning of the story yourself so the model can follow your style. A few retries can also help if the model gets it wrong.

Chatbots and persona's

Unlike the original Tiefighter this model is better at handling existing Character Cards as long as they do not contain a lot of second person writing or second person introductions (You), setting > as a custom stop sequence can help fix potential mistakes, as well as turning multi-line replies off. You can also use instructions to create your characters.

For example, you can put this in memory in regular chat mode:

### Instruction: 
Generate a conversation between Alice and Henk where they discuss language models.
In this conversation Henk is excited to teach Alice about Tiefighter. 
### Response:

Because the model is a merge of a variety of models, it should support a broad range of instruct formats, or plain chat mode. If you have a particular favourite try it, otherwise we recommend to either use the regular chat mode or Alpaca's format.

Instruct Prompting

This model features various instruct models on a variety of instruction styles, when testing the model we have used Alpaca for our own tests. If you prefer a different format chances are it can work.

During instructions we have observed that in some cases the adventure data can leak, it may also be worth experimenting using > as the prefix for a user command to remedy this. But this may result in a stronger fiction bias.

Keep in mind that while this model can be used as a factual instruct model, the focus was on fiction. Information provided by the model can be made up.

Adventuring and Adventure Games

This model contains a lora that was trained on the same adventure dataset as the KoboldAI Skein model. Adventuring is best done using an small introduction to the world and your objective while using the > prefix for a user command (KoboldAI's adventure mode).

It is possible that the model does not immediately pick up on what you wish to do and does not engage in its Adventure mode behaviour right away. Simply manually correct the output to trim excess dialogue or other undesirable behaviour and continue to submit your actions using the appropriate mode. The model should pick up on this style quickly and will correctly follow this format within 3 turns.

This model would not be possible without the awesome work from:

Undi95, PocketDoc, Blackroot, Brouz, The Face of Goonery, zattio770, PygmalionAI, TokenBender, nRuaif, lemonilia and Xwin-LM.
