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.

ATM I'm using 2023.05.04v0 of the dataset and training full context.

Notes:

So I will only be training 1 epoch, as full context 30b takes so long to train. This 1 epoch will take me 8 days lol but luckily these LoRA feels fully functinal at epoch 1 as shown on my 13b one. Also I will be uploading checkpoints almost everyday. I could train another epoch if there's enough want for it.

Update: Since I will not be training over 1 epoch @Aeala is training for the full 3 https://huggingface.co/Aeala/VicUnlocked-alpaca-half-30b-LoRA but it's half ctx if you care about that. Also @Aeala's just about done.

Update: Training Finished at Epoch 1, These 8 days sure felt long. I only have one A6000 lads there's only so much I can do. Also RIP gozfarb IDK what happened to him.

How to test?

Download LLaMA-30B-HF if you have not: https://huggingface.co/Neko-Institute-of-Science/LLaMA-30B-HF
Make a folder called VicUnLocked-30b-LoRA in the loras folder.
Download adapter_config.json and adapter_model.bin into VicUnLocked-30b-LoRA.
Load ooba: python server.py --listen --model LLaMA-30B-HF --load-in-8bit --chat --lora VicUnLocked-30b-LoRA
Select instruct and chose Vicuna-v1.1 template.
