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.

It is supported by:

Text Generation Webui - using Loader: AutoAWQ
vLLM - Llama and Mistral models only
Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)
AutoAWQ - for use from Python code

Repositories available

Prompt template: Japanese-StableLM-Llama-2-Chat

Licensing

The creator of the source model has listed its license as ['llama2'], 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: Stability AI's Japanese StableLM Instruct Beta 70B.

Provided files, and AWQ parameters

For my first release of AWQ models, I am releasing 128g models only. I will consider adding 32g as well if there is interest, and once I have done perplexity and evaluation comparisons, but at this time 32g models are still not fully tested with AutoAWQ and vLLM.

Models are released as sharded safetensors files.

How to easily download and use this model in text-generation-webui

Please make sure you're using the latest version of text-generation-webui.

It is strongly recommended to use the text-generation-webui one-click-installers unless you're sure you know how to make a manual install.

Click the Model tab.
Under Download custom model or LoRA, enter TheBloke/japanese-stablelm-instruct-beta-70B-AWQ.
Click Download.
The model will start downloading. Once it's finished it will say "Done".
In the top left, click the refresh icon next to Model.
In the Model dropdown, choose the model you just downloaded: japanese-stablelm-instruct-beta-70B-AWQ
Select Loader: AutoAWQ.
Click Load, and the model will load and is now ready for use.
If you want any custom settings, set them and then click Save settings for this model followed by Reload the Model in the top right.
Once you're ready, click the Text Generation tab and enter a prompt to get started!

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 python -m vllm.entrypoints.api_server --model TheBloke/japanese-stablelm-instruct-beta-70B-AWQ --quantization awq

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?",
]
prompt_template=f'''<s>[INST] <<SYS>>
あなたは役立つアシスタントです。
<<SYS>>

{prompt} [/INST] 
'''

prompts = [prompt_template.format(prompt=prompt) for prompt in prompts]

sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)

llm = LLM(model="TheBloke/japanese-stablelm-instruct-beta-70B-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}")

Multi-user inference server: Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)

Use TGI version 1.1.0 or later. The official Docker container is: ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:1.1.0

Example Docker parameters:

--model-id TheBloke/japanese-stablelm-instruct-beta-70B-AWQ --port 3000 --quantize awq --max-input-length 3696 --max-total-tokens 4096 --max-batch-prefill-tokens 4096

Example Python code for interfacing with TGI (requires huggingface-hub 0.17.0 or later):

pip3 install huggingface-hub

python

from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient

endpoint_url = "https://your-endpoint-url-here"

prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''<s>[INST] <<SYS>>
あなたは役立つアシスタントです。
<<SYS>>

{prompt} [/INST] 
'''

client = InferenceClient(endpoint_url)
response = client.text_generation(prompt,
                                  max_new_tokens=128,
                                  do_sample=True,
                                  temperature=0.7,
                                  top_p=0.95,
                                  top_k=40,
                                  repetition_penalty=1.1)

print(f"Model output: ", response)

Inference from Python code using AutoAWQ

Install the AutoAWQ package

Requires: AutoAWQ 0.1.1 or later.

pip3 install autoawq

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 .

Japanese-StableLM-Instruct-Beta-70B

A cute robot wearing a kimono writes calligraphy with one single brush — Stable Diffusion XL

Model Description

japanese-stablelm-instruct-beta-70b is a 70B-parameter decoder-only language model based on japanese-stablelm-base-beta-70b and further fine tuned on Databricks Dolly-15k, Anthropic HH, and other public data.

This model is also available in a smaller 7b version, or a smaller and faster version with a specialized tokenizer.

Usage

First install additional dependencies in requirements.txt:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then start generating text with japanese-stablelm-instruct-beta-70b by using the following code snippet:

python

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model_name = "stabilityai/japanese-stablelm-instruct-beta-70b"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

# The next line may need to be modified depending on the environment
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype=torch.float16, low_cpu_mem_usage=True, device_map="auto")

def build_prompt(user_query, inputs):
    sys_msg = "<s>[INST] <<SYS>>\nあなたは役立つアシスタントです。\n<<SYS>>\n\n"
    p = sys_msg + user_query + "\n\n" + inputs + " [/INST] "
    return p

# Infer with prompt without any additional input
user_inputs = {
    "user_query": "与えられたことわざの意味を小学生でも分かるように教えてください。",
    "inputs": "情けは人のためならず"
}
prompt = build_prompt(**user_inputs)

input_ids = tokenizer.encode(
    prompt,
    add_special_tokens=False,
    return_tensors="pt"
)

# this is for reproducibility.
# feel free to change to get different result
seed = 23  
torch.manual_seed(seed)

tokens = model.generate(
    input_ids.to(device=model.device),
    max_new_tokens=128,
    temperature=0.99,
    top_p=0.95,
    do_sample=True,
)

out = tokenizer.decode(tokens[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(out)

We suggest playing with different generation config (top_p, repetition_penalty etc) to find the best setup for your tasks. For example, use higher temperature for roleplay task, lower temperature for reasoning.

Model Details

Training Dataset

The following datasets were used for the instruction training. Note these are Japanese translated versions of the original datasets, shared by kunishou.

Use and Limitations

Intended Use

The model is intended to be used by all individuals as a foundation for application-specific fine-tuning without strict limitations on commercial use.

Limitations and bias

The pre-training dataset may have contained offensive or inappropriate content even after applying data cleansing filters which can be reflected in the model generated text. We recommend users exercise reasonable caution when using these models in production systems. Do not use the model for any applications that may cause harm or distress to individuals or groups.

Authors

This model was developed by the Research & Development team at Stability AI Japan, and the development was co-led by Takuya Akiba and Meng Lee. The members of the team are as follows:
