This repo contains GGUF format model files for Riiid's Sheep Duck Llama 2 70B v1.1.

GGUF is a new format introduced by the llama.cpp team on August 21st 2023. It is a replacement for GGML, which is no longer supported by llama.cpp.

Here is an incomplate list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF:

### System:
{system_message}

### User:
{prompt}

### Assistant:

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.

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.

Note: HF does not support uploading files larger than 50GB. Therefore I have uploaded the Q6_K and Q8_0 files as split files.

cat sheep-duck-llama-2-70b-v1.1.Q6_K.gguf-split-* > sheep-duck-llama-2-70b-v1.1.Q6_K.gguf && rm sheep-duck-llama-2-70b-v1.1.Q6_K.gguf-split-*
cat sheep-duck-llama-2-70b-v1.1.Q8_0.gguf-split-* > sheep-duck-llama-2-70b-v1.1.Q8_0.gguf && rm sheep-duck-llama-2-70b-v1.1.Q8_0.gguf-split-*

COPY /B sheep-duck-llama-2-70b-v1.1.Q6_K.gguf-split-a + sheep-duck-llama-2-70b-v1.1.Q6_K.gguf-split-b sheep-duck-llama-2-70b-v1.1.Q6_K.gguf
del sheep-duck-llama-2-70b-v1.1.Q6_K.gguf-split-a sheep-duck-llama-2-70b-v1.1.Q6_K.gguf-split-b

COPY /B sheep-duck-llama-2-70b-v1.1.Q8_0.gguf-split-a + sheep-duck-llama-2-70b-v1.1.Q8_0.gguf-split-b sheep-duck-llama-2-70b-v1.1.Q8_0.gguf
del sheep-duck-llama-2-70b-v1.1.Q8_0.gguf-split-a sheep-duck-llama-2-70b-v1.1.Q8_0.gguf-split-b

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:

Under Download Model, you can enter the model repo: TheBloke/sheep-duck-llama-2-70B-v1.1-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: sheep-duck-llama-2-70b-v1.1.Q4_K_M.gguf.

Then click Download.

I recommend using the huggingface-hub Python library:

Then you can download any individual model file to the current directory, at high speed, with a command like this:

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

Change -ngl 32 to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.

Change -c 4096 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

Further instructions here: text-generation-webui/docs/llama.cpp.md.

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

Run one of the following commands, according to your system:

Here are guides on using llama-cpp-python and ctransformers with LangChain:

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.

Special thanks to: Aemon Algiz.
