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 AWQ models for high-throughput concurrent inference in multi-user server scenarios. Note that, at the time of writing, overall throughput is still lower than running vLLM 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/medalpaca-13B-AWQ --quantization awq

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/medalpaca-13B-AWQ", quantization="awq")

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}")

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/medalpaca-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'''Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

### Instruction:
{prompt}

### Response:

'''

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

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

# Generate output

    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 can also be done using transformers' pipeline
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'])

Compatibility

The files provided are tested to work with AutoAWQ, and vLLM.

Huggingface Text Generation Inference (TGI) is not yet compatible with AWQ, but a PR is open which should bring support soon: TGI PR #781.

Model Description

Architecture

medalpaca-13b is a large language model specifically fine-tuned for medical domain tasks. It is based on LLaMA (Large Language Model Meta AI) and contains 13 billion parameters. The primary goal of this model is to improve question-answering and medical dialogue tasks.

Training Data

The training data for this project was sourced from various resources. Firstly, we used Anki flashcards to automatically generate questions, from the front of the cards and anwers from the back of the card. Secondly, we generated medical question-answer pairs from Wikidoc. We extracted paragraphs with relevant headings, and used Chat-GPT 3.5 to generate questions from the headings and using the corresponding paragraphs as answers. This dataset is still under development and we believe that approximately 70% of these question answer pairs are factual correct. Thirdly, we used StackExchange to extract question-answer pairs, taking the top-rated question from five categories: Academia, Bioinformatics, Biology, Fitness, and Health. Additionally, we used a dataset from ChatDoctor consisting of 200,000 question-answer pairs, available at https://github.com/Kent0n-Li/ChatDoctor.

Source	n items
ChatDoc large	200000
wikidoc	67704
Stackexchange academia	40865
Anki flashcards	33955
Stackexchange biology	27887
Stackexchange fitness	9833
Stackexchange health	7721
Wikidoc patient information	5942
Stackexchange bioinformatics	5407

Model Usage

To evaluate the performance of the model on a specific dataset, you can use the Hugging Face Transformers library's built-in evaluation scripts. Please refer to the evaluation guide for more information. Inference

You can use the model for inference tasks like question-answering and medical dialogues using the Hugging Face Transformers library. Here's an example of how to use the model for a question-answering task:

python

from transformers import pipeline

pl = pipeline("text-generation", model="medalpaca/medalpaca-13b", tokenizer="medalpaca/medalpaca-13b")
question = "What are the symptoms of diabetes?"
context = "Diabetes is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar. The symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, and unexplained weight loss."
answer = pl(f"Context: {context}\n\nQuestion: {question}\n\nAnswer: ")
print(answer)

Limitations

The model may not perform effectively outside the scope of the medical domain. The training data primarily targets the knowledge level of medical students, which may result in limitations when addressing the needs of board-certified physicians. The model has not been tested in real-world applications, so its efficacy and accuracy are currently unknown. It should never be used as a substitute for a doctor's opinion and must be treated as a research tool only.
