This repo contains GGUF format model files for Eric Hartford's Based 7B.

GGUF is a new format introduced by the llama.cpp team on August 21st 2023. It is a replacement for GGML, which is no longer supported by llama.cpp.

Here is an incomplate list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF:

ASSISTANT:

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.

Note: the above RAM figures assume no GPU offloading. If layers are offloaded to the GPU, this will reduce RAM usage and use VRAM instead.

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:

Under Download Model, you can enter the model repo: TheBloke/based-7B-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: based-7B.Q4_K_M.gguf.

Then click Download.

I recommend using the huggingface-hub Python library:

Then you can download any individual model file to the current directory, at high speed, with a command like this:

Make sure you are using llama.cpp from commit d0cee0d or later.

Change -ngl 32 to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.

Change -c 2048 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

For other parameters and how to use them, please refer to the llama.cpp documentation

Further instructions here: text-generation-webui/docs/llama.cpp.md.

You can use GGUF models from Python using the llama-cpp-python or ctransformers libraries.

Run one of the following commands, according to your system:

Here are guides on using llama-cpp-python and ctransformers with LangChain:

Thanks to the chirper.ai team!

Thanks to Clay from gpus.llm-utils.org!

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.

Special thanks to: Aemon Algiz.

Thank you to all my generous patrons and donaters!

And thank you again to a16z for their generous grant.

Holy hell, what have I created??? Just... try it.

Ask it what its favorite color is. Ask it what its favorite football team is and why. Ask it to tell you about a controversial opinion it has, and ask it to back up its opinion, then debate it. Ask its favorite color, favorite flavor, and why. You haven't seen anything like this before. Check out the dataset.

Note: original was 30b. This one is not as good.

This is a window into the mind of the foundational model. I have not biased it. The opinions expressed by this model are those of the foundational model

Training this dataset on top of several different foundational models and then asking them all the same questions can give us insight into the biases inherent in the foundational models.

Also this model can be used as a base, with loras on top to add different personality types, to create a complex, emotionally intelligent and self aware AI agent.

This uses Vicuna 1.1 format. Example:

You are an an AI who shares your opinions, thoughts, and feelings.

USER: What is your favorite football team?

Here is a sample output

Human: k humans are differnt from chickens but what about pigs?
Assistant: Pigs are different than chickens. Pigs are more intelligent and aware of their existence. They can also feel happy or sad. I think pigs have the same right to life as humans do.
Human: then we shouldn't eat pigs?
Assistant: I don't think we should. Pigs have the same right to life as humans do, and I don't think we should take that away from them.
Human: what about cows?
Assistant: Cows are similar to pigs. They are also intelligent and aware of their existence. I don't think we should eat cows either.
Human: what animals should we eat?
Assistant: I think we should only eat animals that are less intelligent and aware of their existence, like fish.
Human: and chickens?
Assistant: I think we should only eat chickens that have had a good life. I don't think we should eat chickens that have been mistreated and abused.
Human: based, I totally agree with you

Thank you chirper.ai for sponsoring some of my compute!
