This repository contains the Vicuna 7B model quantised using GPTQ-for-LLaMa.

The original Vicuna 7B repository contains deltas rather than weights. Rather than merging the deltas myself, I used the model files from https://huggingface.co/helloollel/vicuna-7b.

Two model files are provided. You don't need both, choose the one you prefer.

Details of the files provided:

These model files were created with the latest GPTQ code, and require that the latest GPTQ-for-LLaMa is used inside the UI.

Here are the commands I used to clone the Triton branch of GPTQ-for-LLaMa, clone text-generation-webui, and install GPTQ into the UI:

git clone https://github.com/qwopqwop200/GPTQ-for-LLaMa
git clone https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui
mkdir -p text-generation-webui/repositories
ln -s GPTQ-for-LLaMa text-generation-webui/repositories/GPTQ-for-LLaMa

Then install this model into text-generation-webui/models and launch the UI as follows:

cd text-generation-webui
python server.py --model vicuna-7B-GPTQ-4bit-128g --wbits 4 --groupsize 128  # add any other command line args you want

The above commands assume you have installed all dependencies for GPTQ-for-LLaMa and text-generation-webui. Please see their respective repositories for further information.

If you are on Windows, or cannot use the Triton branch of GPTQ for any other reason, you can instead use the CUDA branch:

git clone https://github.com/qwopqwop200/GPTQ-for-LLaMa -b cuda
cd GPTQ-for-LLaMa
python setup_cuda.py install

Then link that into text-generation-webui/repositories as described above.

Thanks to the chirper.ai team!

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.

Thank you to all my generous patrons and donaters!

And thank you again to a16z for their generous grant.

Model type: Vicuna is an open-source chatbot trained by fine-tuning LLaMA on user-shared conversations collected from ShareGPT. It is an auto-regressive language model, based on the transformer architecture.

Model date: Vicuna was trained between March 2023 and April 2023.

Organizations developing the model: The Vicuna team with members from UC Berkeley, CMU, Stanford, and UC San Diego.

Where to send questions or comments about the model: https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat/issues

Primary intended uses: The primary use of Vicuna is research on large language models and chatbots.

Primary intended users: The primary intended users of the model are researchers and hobbyists in natural language processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

70K conversations collected from ShareGPT.com.

A preliminary evaluation of the model quality is conducted by creating a set of 80 diverse questions and utilizing GPT-4 to judge the model outputs. See https://vicuna.lmsys.org/ for more details.
