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.
very large, extremely low quality loss - not recommended
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.
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/basilisk-7B-v0.2-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: basilisk-7b-v0.2.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:
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
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/basilisk-7B-v0.2-GGUF", model_file="basilisk-7b-v0.2.Q4_K_M.gguf", model_type="mistral", gpu_layers=50)56print(llm("AI is going to"))
How to use with LangChain
Here are guides on using llama-cpp-python and ctransformers 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.
