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

Licensing

The creator of the source model has listed its license as other, and this quantization has therefore used that same license.

As this model is based on Llama 2, it is also subject to the Meta Llama 2 license terms, and the license files for that are additionally included. It should therefore be considered as being claimed to be licensed under both licenses. I contacted Hugging Face for clarification on dual licensing but they do not yet have an official position. Should this change, or should Meta provide any feedback on this situation, I will update this section accordingly.

In the meantime, any questions regarding licensing, and in particular how these two licenses might interact, should be directed to the original model repository: Nexusflow's NexusRaven V2 13B.

Provided files, and AWQ parameters

I currently release 128g GEMM models only. The addition of group_size 32 models, and GEMV kernel models, is being actively considered.

Models are released as sharded safetensors files.

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/NexusRaven-V2-13B-AWQ --quantization awq --dtype auto

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/NexusRaven-V2-13B-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}")

Inference from Python code using Transformers

Install the necessary packages

Requires: Transformers 4.35.0 or later.
Requires: AutoAWQ 0.1.6 or later.

pip3 install --upgrade "autoawq>=0.1.6" "transformers>=4.35.0"

Note that if you are using PyTorch 2.0.1, the above AutoAWQ command will automatically upgrade you to PyTorch 2.1.0.

If you are using CUDA 11.8 and wish to continue using PyTorch 2.0.1, instead run this command:

pip3 install https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ/releases/download/v0.1.6/autoawq-0.1.6+cu118-cp310-cp310-linux_x86_64.whl

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: Nexusflow's NexusRaven V2 13B

NexusRaven-13B: Surpassing GPT-4 for Zero-shot Function Calling

Nexusflow HF - Nexusflow Discord - NexusRaven-V2 blog post - Prompting Notebook CoLab - Leaderboard - Read-World Demo - NexusRaven-V2-13B Github

Introducing NexusRaven-V2-13B

NexusRaven is an open-source and commercially viable function calling LLM that surpasses the state-of-the-art in function calling capabilities.

💪 Versatile Function Calling Capability: NexusRaven-V2 is capable of generating single function calls, nested calls, and parallel calls in many challenging cases.

🤓 Fully Explainable: NexusRaven-V2 is capable of generating very detailed explanations for the function calls it generates. This behavior can be turned off, to save tokens during inference.

📊 Performance Highlights: NexusRaven-V2 surpasses GPT-4 by 7% in function calling success rates in human-generated use cases involving nested and composite functions.

🔧 Generalization to the Unseen: NexusRaven-V2 has never been trained on the functions used in evaluation.

🔥 Commercially Permissive: The training of NexusRaven-V2 does not involve any data generated by proprietary LLMs such as GPT-4. You have full control of the model when deployed in commercial applications.

Please checkout the following links!

NexusRaven-V2 model usage

NexusRaven-V2 accepts a list of python functions. These python functions can do anything (including sending GET/POST requests to external APIs!). The two requirements include the python function signature and the appropriate docstring to generate the function call.

NexusRaven-V2's Capabilities

NexusRaven-V2 is capable of generating deeply nested function calls, parallel function calls, and simple single calls. It can also justify the function calls it generated. If you would like to generate the call only, please set a stop criteria of "<bot_end>". Otherwise, please allow NexusRaven-V2 to run until its stop token (i.e. "</s>").

Quick Start Prompting Guide

Please refer to our notebook, How-To-Prompt.ipynb, for more advanced tutorials on using NexusRaven-V2!

We strongly recommend to set sampling to False when prompting NexusRaven-V2.
We strongly recommend a very low temperature (~0.001).
We strongly recommend following the prompting style below.

Quickstart

You can run the model on a GPU using the following code.

python

# Please `pip install transformers accelerate`
from transformers import pipeline


pipeline = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model="Nexusflow/NexusRaven-V2-13B",
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto",
)

prompt_template = \
'''
Function:
def get_weather_data(coordinates):
    """
    Fetches weather data from the Open-Meteo API for the given latitude and longitude.

    Args:
    coordinates (tuple): The latitude of the location.

    Returns:
    float: The current temperature in the coordinates you've asked for
    """

Function:
def get_coordinates_from_city(city_name):
    """
    Fetches the latitude and longitude of a given city name using the Maps.co Geocoding API.

    Args:
    city_name (str): The name of the city.

    Returns:
    tuple: The latitude and longitude of the city.
    """

User Query: {query}<human_end>

'''

prompt = prompt_template.format(query="What's the weather like in Seattle right now?")

result = pipeline(prompt, max_new_tokens=2048, return_full_text=False, do_sample=False, temperature=0.001)[0]["generated_text"]
print (result)

This should generate the following:

Call: get_weather_data(coordinates=get_coordinates_from_city(city_name='Seattle'))<bot_end>
Thought: The function call `get_weather_data(coordinates=get_coordinates_from_city(city_name='Seattle'))` answers the question "What's the weather like in Seattle right now?" by following these steps:

1. `get_coordinates_from_city(city_name='Seattle')`: This function call fetches the latitude and longitude of the city "Seattle" using the Maps.co Geocoding API.
2. `get_weather_data(coordinates=...)`: This function call fetches the current weather data for the coordinates returned by the previous function call.

Therefore, the function call `get_weather_data(coordinates=get_coordinates_from_city(city_name='Seattle'))` answers the question "What's the weather like in Seattle right now?" by first fetching the coordinates of the city "Seattle" and then fetching the current weather data for those coordinates.

If you would like to prevent the generation of the explanation of the function call (for example, to save on inference tokens), please set a stopping criteria of <bot_end>.

Please follow this prompting template to maximize the performance of RavenV2.

Using with OpenAI FC Schematics

If you currently have a workflow that is built around OpenAI's function calling and you want to try NexusRaven-V2, we have a package that helps you drop in NexusRaven-V2.

Evaluation

For a deeper dive into the results, please see our Github README.

Limitations

The model works best when it is connected with a retriever when there are a multitude of functions, as a large number of functions will saturate the context window of this model.
The model can be prone to generate incorrect calls. Please ensure proper guardrails to capture errant behavior is in place.
The explanations generated by NexusRaven-V2 might be incorrect. Please ensure proper guardrails are present to capture errant behavior.

License

This model was trained on commercially viable data and is licensed under the Nexusflow community license.
