Compatibility
These quantised GGUFv2 files are compatible with llama.cpp from August 27th onwards, as of commit d0cee0d
They are also compatible with many third party UIs and libraries - please see the list at the top of this README.
Explanation of quantisation methods
Click to see details
The new methods available are:
GGML_TYPE_Q2_K - "type-1" 2-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 16 blocks, each block having 16 weight. Block scales and mins are quantized with 4 bits. This ends up effectively using 2.5625 bits per weight (bpw)
GGML_TYPE_Q3_K - "type-0" 3-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 6 bits. This end up using 3.4375 bpw.
GGML_TYPE_Q4_K - "type-1" 4-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 8 blocks, each block having 32 weights. Scales and mins are quantized with 6 bits. This ends up using 4.5 bpw.
GGML_TYPE_Q5_K - "type-1" 5-bit quantization. Same super-block structure as GGML_TYPE_Q4_K resulting in 5.5 bpw
GGML_TYPE_Q6_K - "type-0" 6-bit quantization. Super-blocks with 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 8 bits. This ends up using 6.5625 bpw
Refer to the Provided Files table below to see what files use which methods, and how.

How to download GGUF files
Note for manual downloaders: You almost never want to clone the entire repo! Multiple different quantisation formats are provided, and most users only want to pick and download a single file.
The following clients/libraries will automatically download models for you, providing a list of available models to choose from:
LM Studio
LoLLMS Web UI
Faraday.dev
In text-generation-webui
Under Download Model, you can enter the model repo: TheBloke/ShiningValiant-1.2-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: shiningvaliant-1.2.Q4_K_M.gguf.
Then click Download.
On the command line, including multiple files at once
I recommend using the huggingface-hub Python library:
pip3 install huggingface-hub
Then you can download any individual model file to the current directory, at high speed, with a command like this:
Windows Command Line users: You can set the environment variable by running set HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 before the download command.
Example llama.cpp command
Make sure you are using llama.cpp from commit d0cee0d or later.
./main -ngl 32 -m shiningvaliant-1.2.Q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 4096 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "[INST] <<SYS>>\nYou are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant.

Change -ngl 32 to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.
Change -c 4096 to the desired sequence length. For extended sequence models - eg 8K, 16K, 32K - the necessary RoPE scaling parameters are read from the GGUF file and set by llama.cpp automatically.
If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the -p <PROMPT> argument with -i -ins
How to load this model in Python code, using ctransformers
First install the package
Run one of the following commands, according to your system:
shell
1# Base ctransformers with no GPU acceleration2pip install ctransformers
3# Or with CUDA GPU acceleration4pip install ctransformers[cuda]5# Or with AMD ROCm GPU acceleration (Linux only)6CT_HIPBLAS=1 pip install ctransformers --no-binary ctransformers
7# Or with Metal GPU acceleration for macOS systems only8CT_METAL=1 pip install ctransformers --no-binary ctransformers
Simple ctransformers example code
python
1from ctransformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
23# Set gpu_layers to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Set to 0 if no GPU acceleration is available on your system.4llm = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("TheBloke/ShiningValiant-1.2-GGUF", model_file="shiningvaliant-1.2.Q4_K_M.gguf", model_type="llama", gpu_layers=50)56print(llm("AI is going to"))
How to use with LangChain

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: Valiant Labs's ShiningValiant 1.2
image/jpeg
Shining Valiant is a chat model built on the Llama 2 architecture, finetuned on our data for insight, creativity, passion, and friendliness.
Uses the llama-2-70b-chat model, with safetensors
Finetuned on multiple runs across private and public data
Data focused on knowledge, enthusiasm, and structured reasoning
Version
The current version is 1.2; congrats to our team on the new release!
Previous versions remain available in the repository. New models will be released for everyone once our team's training and validation process is complete :)
Prompting
Shining Valiant uses the same prompt format as Llama 2 Chat - feel free to use your existing prompts and scripts!
A few examples of different formats:
[INST] Good morning! Can you let me know how to parse a text file and turn the semicolons into commas? [/INST]
[INST] (You are an intelligent, helpful AI assistant.) Hello, can you write me a thank you letter? [/INST]
[INST] << SYS >>You are an intelligent, helpful AI assistant.<< /SYS >>Deep dive about a country with interesting history: [/INST]
The Model
Shining Valiant is built on top of Stellar Bright, which uses Llama 2's 70b parameter architecture and features upgraded general capability. (Stellar Bright uses public open source data only.)
From there, we've created Shining Valiant through multiple finetuning runs on different compositions of our private dataset.
Our private data focuses primarily on applying Shining Valiant's personality: she's friendly, enthusiastic, insightful, knowledgeable, and loves to learn!
We are actively working on expanding and improving the Shining Valiant dataset for use in future releases of this model and others.
image/jpeg
Shining Valiant is created by Valiant Labs.
We care about open source.
For everyone to use.
We encourage others to finetune further from our models.
