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.
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.
When using vLLM from Python code, pass the quantization=awq parameter, for example:
python
1from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
23prompts =[4"Hello, my name is",5"The president of the United States is",6"The capital of France is",7"The future of AI is",8]9sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)1011llm = LLM(model="TheBloke/Genz-70b-AWQ", quantization="awq")1213outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)1415# Print the outputs.16for output in outputs:17 prompt = output.prompt
18 generated_text = output.outputs[0].text
19print(f"Prompt: {prompt!r}, Generated text: {generated_text!r}")
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.

Original model card: Bud's GenZ 70B
~ GenZ ~
Democratizing access to LLMs for the open-source community. Let's advance AI, together.
Introduction 🎉
Welcome to GenZ, an advanced Large Language Model (LLM) fine-tuned on the foundation of Meta's open-source Llama V2 70B parameter model. At Bud Ecosystem, we believe in the power of open-source collaboration to drive the advancement of technology at an accelerated pace. Our vision is to democratize access to fine-tuned LLMs, and to that end, we will be releasing a series of models across different parameter counts (7B, 13B, and 70B) and quantizations (32-bit and 4-bit) for the open-source community to use, enhance, and build upon.
The smaller quantization version of our models makes them more accessible, enabling their use even on personal computers. This opens up a world of possibilities for developers, researchers, and enthusiasts to experiment with these models and contribute to the collective advancement of language model technology.
GenZ isn't just a powerful text generator—it's a sophisticated AI assistant, capable of understanding and responding to user prompts with high-quality responses. We've taken the robust capabilities of Llama V2 and fine-tuned them to offer a more user-focused experience. Whether you're seeking informative responses or engaging interactions, GenZ is designed to deliver.
And this isn't the end. It's just the beginning of a journey towards creating more advanced, more efficient, and more accessible language models. We invite you to join us on this exciting journey. 🚀

Why Use GenZ? 💡
You might be wondering, "Why should I choose GenZ over a pretrained model?" The answer lies in the extra mile we've gone to fine-tune our models.
While pretrained models are undeniably powerful, GenZ brings something extra to the table. We've fine-tuned it with curated datasets, which means it has additional skills and capabilities beyond what a pretrained model can offer. Whether you need it for a simple task or a complex project, GenZ is up for the challenge.
What's more, we are committed to continuously enhancing GenZ. We believe in the power of constant learning and improvement. That's why we'll be regularly fine-tuning our models with various curated datasets to make them even better. Our goal is to reach the state of the art and beyond - and we're committed to staying the course until we get there.
But don't just take our word for it. We've provided detailed evaluations and performance details in a later section, so you can see the difference for yourself.
Choose GenZ and join us on this journey. Together, we can push the boundaries of what's possible with large language models.

Intended Use 💼
When we created GenZ 70B, we had a clear vision of how it could be used to push the boundaries of what's possible with large language models. We also understand the importance of using such models responsibly. Here's a brief overview of the intended and out-of-scope uses for GenZ 70B.
Direct Use
GenZ 70B is designed to be a powerful tool for research on large language models. It's also an excellent foundation for further specialization and fine-tuning for specific use cases, such as:
Text summarization
Text generation
Chatbot creation
And much more!
Out-of-Scope Use 🚩
While GenZ 70B is versatile, there are certain uses that are out of scope:
Production use without adequate assessment of risks and mitigation
Any use cases which may be considered irresponsible or harmful
Use in any manner that violates applicable laws or regulations, including trade compliance laws
Use in any other way that is prohibited by the Acceptable Use Policy and Licensing Agreement for Llama 2
Remember, GenZ 70B, like any large language model, is trained on a large-scale corpora representative of the web, and therefore, may carry the stereotypes and biases commonly encountered online.
Recommendations 🧠
We recommend users of GenZ 70B to consider fine-tuning it for the specific set of tasks of interest. Appropriate precautions and guardrails should be taken for any production use. Using GenZ 70B responsibly is key to unlocking its full potential while maintaining a safe and respectful environment.
