Yarn Llama 2 7B 64K - GGUF

Model creator: NousResearch
Original model: Yarn Llama 2 7B 64K

Description

This repo contains GGUF format model files for NousResearch's Yarn Llama 2 7B 64K.

About GGUF

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.

The key benefit of GGUF is that it is a extensible, future-proof format which stores more information about the model as metadata. It also includes significantly improved tokenization code, including for the first time full support for special tokens. This should improve performance, especially with models that use new special tokens and implement custom prompt templates.

As of August 25th, here is a list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF:

llama.cpp.
text-generation-webui, the most widely used web UI. Supports GGUF with GPU acceleration via the ctransformers backend - llama-cpp-python backend should work soon too.
KoboldCpp, now supports GGUF as of release 1.41! A powerful GGML web UI, with full GPU accel. Especially good for story telling.
LM Studio, version 0.2.2 and later support GGUF. A fully featured local GUI with GPU acceleration on both Windows (NVidia and AMD), and macOS.
LoLLMS Web UI, should now work, choose the c_transformers backend. A great web UI with many interesting features. Supports CUDA GPU acceleration.
ctransformers, now supports GGUF as of version 0.2.24! A Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible AI server.
llama-cpp-python, supports GGUF as of version 0.1.79. A Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible API server.
candle, added GGUF support on August 22nd. Candle is a Rust ML framework with a focus on performance, including GPU support, and ease of use.

The clients and libraries below are expecting to add GGUF support shortly:

Compatibility

These quantised GGUF files are compatible with llama.cpp from August 21st 2023 onwards, as of commit 6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9

They are now also compatible with many third party UIs and libraries - please see the list at the top of the 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

Refer to the Provided Files table below to see what files use which methods, and how.

Name	Quant method	Bits	Size	Max RAM required	Use case
yarn-llama-2-7b-64k.Q2_K.gguf	Q2_K	2	2.83 GB	5.33 GB	smallest, significant quality loss - not recommended for most purposes

yarn-llama-2-7b-64k.Q4_K_M.gguf	Q4_K_M	4	4.08 GB	6.58 GB	medium, balanced quality - recommended
yarn-llama-2-7b-64k.Q5_0.gguf	Q5_0	5	4.65 GB	7.15 GB	legacy; medium, balanced quality - prefer using Q4_K_M
yarn-llama-2-7b-64k.Q5_K_S.gguf	Q5_K_S	5	4.65 GB	7.15 GB	large, low quality loss - recommended
yarn-llama-2-7b-64k.Q5_K_M.gguf	Q5_K_M	5	4.78 GB	7.28 GB	large, very low quality loss - recommended
yarn-llama-2-7b-64k.Q6_K.gguf	Q6_K	6	5.53 GB	8.03 GB	very large, extremely low quality loss
yarn-llama-2-7b-64k.Q8_0.gguf	Q8_0	8	7.16 GB	9.66 GB	very large, extremely low quality loss - not recommended

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 run in `llama.cpp`

Make sure you are using llama.cpp from commit 6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9 or later.

For compatibility with older versions of llama.cpp, or for use with third-party clients and libaries, please use GGML files instead.

./main -t 10 -ngl 32 -m yarn-llama-2-7b-64k.q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 4096 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "Write a story about llamas"

Change -t 10 to the number of physical CPU cores you have. For example if your system has 8 cores/16 threads, use -t 8.

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 this model. 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`

Model Card: Nous-Yarn-Llama-2-7b-64k

Model Description

Nous-Yarn-Llama-2-7b-64k is a state-of-the-art language model for long context, further pretrained on long context data for 400 steps.
This model is the Flash Attention 2 patched version of the original model: https://huggingface.co/conceptofmind/Yarn-Llama-2-7b-64k

Note that this model requires the Flash Attention library in order to function correctly, see the Model Usage section for installation instructions.

Model Training

Starting from the base Llama 2 models, this model was further pretrained on a subset of the PG19 dataset, allowing it to effectively utilize up to 64k tokens of context.

The authors would like to thank Stability AI, Carper AI, and Eleuther AI for their generous support of significant computing resources that enabled the training of these models and the completion of this research. We would also like to thank Jonathan Tow and Dakota Mahan directly for their help in advising on the use of the Stability AI compute cluster. Additionally, we would like to thank a16z, and PygmalionAI, for providing resources to run evaluations and experiments on the models.

Usage and Prompt Format

Install FA2 and Rotary Extensions:

pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation
pip install git+https://github.com/HazyResearch/flash-attention.git#subdirectory=csrc/rotary

There are no specific prompt formats as this is a pretrained base model.

Benchmark Results

TODO

Future Plans

We plan to continue training when we have more compute and to improve the dataset and/or instruct tune the models in order to improve the long context performance even further.

Model Usage

The model is available for download on HuggingFace.
