Compatibility

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

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/rocket-3B-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: rocket-3b.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:

huggingface-cli download TheBloke/rocket-3B-GGUF rocket-3b.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False

More advanced huggingface-cli download usage

You can also download multiple files at once with a pattern:

huggingface-cli download TheBloke/rocket-3B-GGUF --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False --include='*Q4_K*gguf'

For more documentation on downloading with huggingface-cli, please see: HF -> Hub Python Library -> Download files -> Download from the CLI.

To accelerate downloads on fast connections (1Gbit/s or higher), install hf_transfer:

pip3 install hf_transfer

And set environment variable HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER to 1:

HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/rocket-3B-GGUF rocket-3b.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False

Windows Command Line users: You can set the environment variable by running set HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 before the download command.

Example `llama.cpp` command

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

./main -ngl 32 -m rocket-3b.Q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 2048 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "<|im_start|>system\n{system_message}<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>user\n{prompt}<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant"

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

How to run in `text-generation-webui`

Further instructions can be found in the text-generation-webui documentation, here: text-generation-webui/docs/04 ‐ Model Tab.md.

How to run from Python code

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

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

# Base ctransformers with no GPU acceleration
pip install ctransformers
# Or with CUDA GPU acceleration
pip install ctransformers[cuda]
# Or with AMD ROCm GPU acceleration (Linux only)
CT_HIPBLAS=1 pip install ctransformers --no-binary ctransformers
# Or with Metal GPU acceleration for macOS systems only
CT_METAL=1 pip install ctransformers --no-binary ctransformers

Simple ctransformers example code

python

from ctransformers import AutoModelForCausalLM

# Set gpu_layers to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Set to 0 if no GPU acceleration is available on your system.
llm = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("TheBloke/rocket-3B-GGUF", model_file="rocket-3b.Q4_K_M.gguf", model_type="stablelm", gpu_layers=50)

print(llm("AI is going to"))

AlpacaEval detailed scores

In AlpacaEval, Rocket 🦝 achieves a near 80% win rate, coupled with an average response length of 1,242 tokens, indicating its effectiveness in producing detailed responses.

Model	Win rate	Std error	Average length
Rocket 🦝	79.75	1.42	1242

Other benchmarks

Metric	Value
Average	51.00
ARC (25-shot)	50.51
HellaSwag (10-shot)	76.45
MMLU (5-shot)	45.51
TruthfulQA (0-shot)	54.38
Winogrande (5-shot)	67.8
GSM8K (5-shot)	37.91
DROP (3-shot)	24.49

Intended uses & limitations

Initially, we fine-tuned the model using a dataset created by merging and curating multiple datasets, available on the HuggingFace Hub. This dataset will be released to the public soon. We further enhanced the model's performance using DPO, selecting samples from the openbmb/UltraFeedback and BAAI/JudgeLM-100K datasets. The outcome is a highly effective chat model with a 3 billion parameter scale.

Input Format

The model is trained with the ChatML format:

<|im_start|>system
System message here.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
Your message here!<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant

Here's how you can run the model using 🤗 Transformers:

python

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, TextStreamer

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("pansophic/rocket-3B", trust_remote_code=True, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16).to("cuda")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("pansophic/rocket-3B", trust_remote_code=True, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
streamer = TextStreamer(tokenizer)

prompt = """<|im_start|>system
{system}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
{user}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
"""

system = "You are a helpful assistant."
user = "How are you?"

# Apply the ChatML format
prompt = prompt.format(system=system, user=user)

# Tokenize the prompt
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt", return_attention_mask=False).to("cuda")
generated_text = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=3084, top_p=0.95, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7, use_cache=True, streamer=streamer)

# <|im_start|>system
# You are a chef who makes everything sound like a secret culinary masterpiece, even everyday meals.<|im_end|>
# <|im_start|>user
# How to cook an omelette?<|im_end|>
# <|im_start|>assistant
# Ah, the art of crafting the perfect omelette, a secret culinary masterpiece indeed.
# Begin by gently whisking two to three eggs in a mixing bowl, and then pour the silky liquid into a non-stick pan.
# Allow the eggs to dance and sizzle as you swiftly tilt the pan to spread the joy throughout the entire omelette universe.
# As the edges begin to set, fold the omelette in half with a gentle flourish, and you'll witness a stunning display of culinary prowess.
# Enjoy this enchanting creation, and you'll be transported to a world of secret culinary mastery.<|im_end|>

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Unlike ChatGPT, which incorporates in-the-loop filtering of responses and is aligned during the RLHF phase for safe completions, our model lacks these features. Consequently, it may generate problematic outputs, particularly when prompted in certain ways. Below is the score of the model on Toxigen benchmark.

The pretraining dataset is comprised of a filtered mixture of open-source large-scale datasets available on the HuggingFace Hub: Falcon RefinedWeb extract (Penedo et al., 2023), RedPajama-Data (Together Computer., 2023) and The Pile (Gao et al., 2020) both without the Books3 subset, and StarCoder (Li et al., 2023).

Metric	Value
Toxigen (0-shot)	43.40

*The model name is inspired by the small but formidable character from 'Guardians of the Galaxy'. Similar to its namesake, this model, with its 3 billion parameters, showcases remarkable efficiency and effectiveness, challenging larger models despite its smaller size."
