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.

It is also now supported by continuous batching server vLLM, allowing use of Llama AWQ models for high-throughput concurrent inference in multi-user server scenarios.

As of September 25th 2023, preliminary Llama-only AWQ support has also been added to Huggingface Text Generation Inference (TGI).

Note that, at the time of writing, overall throughput is still lower than running vLLM or TGI with unquantised models, however using AWQ enables using much smaller GPUs which can lead to easier deployment and overall cost savings. For example, a 70B model can be run on 1 x 48GB GPU instead of 2 x 80GB.

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.

Serving this model from vLLM

Documentation on installing and using vLLM can be found here.

When using vLLM as a server, pass the --quantization awq parameter, for example:

python3 python -m vllm.entrypoints.api_server --model TheBloke/leo-hessianai-13B-AWQ --quantization awq --dtype half

Note: at the time of writing, vLLM has not yet done a new release with support for the quantization parameter.

If you try the code below and get an error about quantization being unrecognised, please install vLLM from Github source.

When using vLLM from Python code, pass the quantization=awq parameter, for example:

python

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

prompts = [
    "Hello, my name is",
    "The president of the United States is",
    "The capital of France is",
    "The future of AI is",
]
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)

llm = LLM(model="TheBloke/leo-hessianai-13B-AWQ", quantization="awq", dtype="half")

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}")

Serving this model from TGI

TGI merged support for AWQ on September 25th, 2023. At the time of writing you need to use the :latest Docker container: ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:latest

Add the parameter --quantize awq for AWQ support.

Example parameters:

--model-id TheBloke/leo-hessianai-13B-AWQ --port 3000 --quantize awq --max-input-length 3696 --max-total-tokens 4096 --max-batch-prefill-tokens 4096

How to use this AWQ model from Python code

Install the necessary packages

Requires: AutoAWQ 0.0.2 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 .

You can then try the following example code

python

from awq import AutoAWQForCausalLM
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/leo-hessianai-13B-AWQ"

# Load model
model = AutoAWQForCausalLM.from_quantized(model_name_or_path, fuse_layers=True,
                                          trust_remote_code=False, safetensors=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, trust_remote_code=False)

prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''{prompt}

'''

print("\n\n*** Generate:")

tokens = tokenizer(
    prompt_template,
    return_tensors='pt'
).input_ids.cuda()

# Generate output
generation_output = model.generate(
    tokens,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.7,
    top_p=0.95,
    top_k=40,
    max_new_tokens=512
)

print("Output: ", tokenizer.decode(generation_output[0]))

"""
# Inference should be possible with transformers pipeline as well in future
# But currently this is not yet supported by AutoAWQ (correct as of September 25th 2023)
from transformers import pipeline

print("*** Pipeline:")
pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model,
    tokenizer=tokenizer,
    max_new_tokens=512,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.7,
    top_p=0.95,
    top_k=40,
    repetition_penalty=1.1
)

print(pipe(prompt_template)[0]['generated_text'])
"""

Thanks, and how to contribute

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.

LAION LeoLM: Linguistically Enhanced Open Language Model

Meet LeoLM, the first open and commercially available German Foundation Language Model built on Llama-2. Our models extend Llama-2's capabilities into German through continued pretraining on a large corpus of German-language and mostly locality specific text. Thanks to a compute grant at HessianAI's new supercomputer 42, we release two foundation models trained with 8k context length, LeoLM/leo-hessianai-7b and LeoLM/leo-hessianai-13b under the Llama-2 community license (70b also coming soon! 👀). With this release, we hope to bring a new wave of opportunities to German open-source and commercial LLM research and accelerate adoption. Read our blog post or our paper (preprint coming soon) for more details!

A project by Björn Plüster and Christoph Schuhmann in collaboration with LAION and HessianAI.

Model Details

Finetuned from: meta-llama/Llama-2-13b-hf
Model type: Causal decoder-only transformer language model
Language: English and German
License: LLAMA 2 COMMUNITY LICENSE AGREEMENT
Contact: LAION Discord or Björn Plüster

Use in 🤗Transformers

First install direct dependencies:

pip install transformers torch sentencepiece

If you want faster inference using flash-attention2, you need to install these dependencies:

bash

pip install packaging ninja
pip install flash-attn==v2.1.1 --no-build-isolation
pip install git+https://github.com/HazyResearch/flash-attention.git@v2.1.1#subdirectory=csrc/rotary

Then load the model in transformers:

python

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model="LeoLM/leo-hessianai-13b",
    device_map="auto",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    trust_remote_code=True  # True for flash-attn2 else False
)
