# StableLM-3B-4E1T #

* Model Creator: [Stability AI](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai)
* original Model: [StableLM-3B-4E1T](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stablelm-3b-4e1t)

## Description ## 

This repository contains the most relevant quantizations of Stability AI's
[StableLM-3B-4E1T](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stablelm-3b-4e1t) model
in GGUF format - ready to be used with
[llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) and similar applications.

## About StableLM-3B-4E1T ##

Stability AI claims: "_StableLM-3B-4E1T achieves
state-of-the-art performance (September 2023) at the 3B parameter scale
for open-source models and is competitive with many of the popular
contemporary 7B models, even outperforming our most recent 7B
StableLM-Base-Alpha-v2._"

According to them "_The model is intended to be used as a foundational base 
model for application-specific fine-tuning. Developers must evaluate and 
fine-tune the model for safe performance in downstream applications._"

## Files ##

Right now, the following quantizations are available:

## Usage Details ##

Any technical details can be found on the
[original model card](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stablelm-3b-4e1t) and in
a paper on [StableLM-3B-4E1T](https://stability.wandb.io/stability-llm/stable-lm/reports/StableLM-3B-4E1T--VmlldzoyMjU4?accessToken=u3zujipenkx5g7rtcj9qojjgxpconyjktjkli2po09nffrffdhhchq045vp0wyfo).
The most important ones for using this model are

* context length is 4096
* there does not seem to be a specific prompt structure - just provide the text
you want to be completed

### Text Completion with LLaMA.cpp ###

For simple inferencing, use a command similar to 

```
./main -m stablelm-3b-4e1t-Q8_0.bin --temp 0 --top-k 4 --prompt "who was Joseph Weizenbaum?"
```

### Text Tokenization with LLaMA.cpp ###

To get a list of tokens, use a command similar to 

```
./tokenization -m stablelm-3b-4e1t-Q8_0.bin --prompt "who was Joseph Weizenbaum?"
```

### Embeddings Calculation with LLaMA.cpp ###

Text embeddings are calculated with a command similar to 

```
./embedding -m stablelm-3b-4e1t-Q8_0.bin --prompt "who was Joseph Weizenbaum?"
```

## Conversion Details ##

Conversion was done using a Docker container based on
`python:3.10.13-slim-bookworm`

After downloading the original model files into a separate directory, the
container was started with

```
docker run --interactive \
  --mount type=bind,src=<local-folder>,dst=/llm \
  python:3.10.13-slim-bookworm
```

where `<local-folder>` was the path to the folder containing the downloaded
model.

Within the container's terminal, the following commands were issued:

```
apt-get update
apt-get install build-essential git -y

git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
cd llama.cpp

## Important: uncomment the make command that fits to your host computer!
## on Apple Silicon machines: (see https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues/1655)
# UNAME_M=arm64 UNAME_p=arm LLAMA_NO_METAL=1 make
## otherwise
# make

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install torch transformers

# see https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues/3344
python3 convert-hf-to-gguf.py /llm
mv /llm/ggml-model-f16.gguf /llm/stablelm-3b-4e1t.gguf

# the following command is just an example, modify it as needed
./quantize /llm/stablelm-3b-4e1t.gguf /llm/stablelm-3b-4e1t_Q3_K_M.gguf q3_k_m
```

After conversion, the mounted folder (the one that originally contained the 
model only) now also contains all conversions.

The container itself may now be safely deleted - the conversions will remain on 
disk.
