## Provided files, and GPTQ parameters

Multiple quantisation parameters are provided, to allow you to choose the best one for your hardware and requirements.

Each separate quant is in a different branch.  See below for instructions on fetching from different branches.

Most GPTQ files are made with AutoGPTQ. Mistral models are currently made with Transformers.

<details>
  <summary>Explanation of GPTQ parameters</summary>

- Bits: The bit size of the quantised model.
- GS: GPTQ group size. Higher numbers use less VRAM, but have lower quantisation accuracy. "None" is the lowest possible value.
- Act Order: True or False. Also known as `desc_act`. True results in better quantisation accuracy. Some GPTQ clients have had issues with models that use Act Order plus Group Size, but this is generally resolved now.
- Damp %: A GPTQ parameter that affects how samples are processed for quantisation. 0.01 is default, but 0.1 results in slightly better accuracy.
- GPTQ dataset: The calibration dataset used during quantisation. Using a dataset more appropriate to the model's training can improve quantisation accuracy. Note that the GPTQ calibration dataset is not the same as the dataset used to train the model - please refer to the original model repo for details of the training dataset(s).
- Sequence Length: The length of the dataset sequences used for quantisation. Ideally this is the same as the model sequence length. For some very long sequence models (16+K), a lower sequence length may have to be used. Note that a lower sequence length does not limit the sequence length of the quantised model. It only impacts the quantisation accuracy on longer inference sequences.
- ExLlama Compatibility: Whether this file can be loaded with ExLlama, which currently only supports Llama and Mistral models in 4-bit.

## How to download, including from branches

### In text-generation-webui

To download from the `main` branch, enter `TheBloke/LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2-GPTQ` in the "Download model" box.

To download from another branch, add `:branchname` to the end of the download name, eg `TheBloke/LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2-GPTQ:gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True`

### From the command line

I recommend using the `huggingface-hub` Python library:

```shell
pip3 install huggingface-hub
```

To download the `main` branch to a folder called `LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2-GPTQ`:

```shell
mkdir LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2-GPTQ --local-dir LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```

To download from a different branch, add the `--revision` parameter:

```shell
mkdir LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2-GPTQ --revision gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True --local-dir LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```

<details>
  <summary>More advanced huggingface-cli download usage</summary>

If you remove the `--local-dir-use-symlinks False` parameter, the files will instead be stored in the central Hugging Face cache directory (default location on Linux is: `~/.cache/huggingface`), and symlinks will be added to the specified `--local-dir`, pointing to their real location in the cache. This allows for interrupted downloads to be resumed, and allows you to quickly clone the repo to multiple places on disk without triggering a download again. The downside, and the reason why I don't list that as the default option, is that the files are then hidden away in a cache folder and it's harder to know where your disk space is being used, and to clear it up if/when you want to remove a download model.

The cache location can be changed with the `HF_HOME` environment variable, and/or the `--cache-dir` parameter to `huggingface-cli`.

For more documentation on downloading with `huggingface-cli`, please see: [HF -> Hub Python Library -> Download files -> Download from the CLI](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/guides/download#download-from-the-cli).

To accelerate downloads on fast connections (1Gbit/s or higher), install `hf_transfer`:

```shell
pip3 install hf_transfer
```

And set environment variable `HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER` to `1`:

```shell
mkdir LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2-GPTQ
HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2-GPTQ --local-dir LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```

Windows Command Line users: You can set the environment variable by running `set HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1` before the download command.
</details>

### With `git` (**not** recommended)

To clone a specific branch with `git`, use a command like this:

```shell
git clone --single-branch --branch gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2-GPTQ
```

Note that using Git with HF repos is strongly discouraged. It will be much slower than using `huggingface-hub`, and will use twice as much disk space as it has to store the model files twice (it stores every byte both in the intended target folder, and again in the `.git` folder as a blob.)

## Python code example: inference from this GPTQ model

### Install the necessary packages

Requires: Transformers 4.33.0 or later, Optimum 1.12.0 or later, and AutoGPTQ 0.4.2 or later.

```shell
pip3 install --upgrade transformers optimum
# If using PyTorch 2.1 + CUDA 12.x:
pip3 install --upgrade auto-gptq
# or, if using PyTorch 2.1 + CUDA 11.x:
pip3 install --upgrade auto-gptq --extra-index-url https://huggingface.github.io/autogptq-index/whl/cu118/
```

If you are using PyTorch 2.0, you will need to install AutoGPTQ from source. Likewise if you have problems with the pre-built wheels, you should try building from source:

```shell
pip3 uninstall -y auto-gptq
git clone https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ
cd AutoGPTQ
git checkout v0.5.1
pip3 install .
```

### Example Python code

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, pipeline

model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2-GPTQ"
# To use a different branch, change revision
# For example: revision="gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path,
                                             device_map="auto",
                                             trust_remote_code=False,
                                             revision="main")

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, use_fast=True)

prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''### Instruction: 
{prompt}
### Response:
'''

print("\n\n*** Generate:")

input_ids = tokenizer(prompt_template, return_tensors='pt').input_ids.cuda()
output = model.generate(inputs=input_ids, temperature=0.7, do_sample=True, top_p=0.95, top_k=40, max_new_tokens=512)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0]))

# Inference can also be done using transformers' pipeline

print("*** Pipeline:")
pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model,
    tokenizer=tokenizer,
    max_new_tokens=512,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.7,
    top_p=0.95,
    top_k=40,
    repetition_penalty=1.1
)

# Original model card: KoboldAI's Llama2 13B Psyfighter2


# LLAMA2-13B-Psyfighter2
Psyfighter is a merged model created by the KoboldAI community members Jeb Carter and TwistedShadows and was made possible thanks to the KoboldAI merge request service.

The intent was to add medical data to supplement the models fictional ability with more details on anatomy and mental states. Due to the low ratio's of medical data and the high ratio's of fiction this model should not be used for medical advice or therapy because of its high chance of pulling in fictional data.

The following mergekit recipe was used:

```
merge_method: task_arithmetic
base_model: TheBloke/Llama-2-13B-fp16
models:
  - model: TheBloke/Llama-2-13B-fp16
  - model: KoboldAI/LLaMA2-13B-Tiefighter
    parameters:

  - model: Doctor-Shotgun/cat-v1.0-13b

  - model: Doctor-Shotgun/llama-2-13b-chat-limarp-v2-merged

While we could possibly not credit every single lora or model involved in this merged model, we'd like to thank all involved creators upstream for making this awesome model possible!
Thanks to you the AI ecosystem is thriving, and without your dedicated tuning efforts models such as this one would not be possible.

# Usage
This model is meant to be creative, If you let it improvise you get better results than if you drown it in details.

## Story Writing
Regular story writing in the traditional way is supported, simply copy paste your story and continue writing. Optionally use an instruction in memory or an authors note to guide the direction of your story.

### Generate a story on demand
To generate stories on demand you can use an instruction (tested in the Alpaca format) such as "Write a novel about X, use chapters and dialogue" this will generate a story. The format can vary between generations depending on how the model chooses to begin, either write what you want as shown in the earlier example or write the beginning of the story yourself so the model can follow your style. A few retries can also help if the model gets it wrong.

## Chatbots and persona's
This model has been tested with various forms of chatting, testers have found that typically less is more and the model is good at improvising. Don't drown the model in paragraphs of detailed information, instead keep it simple first and see how far you can lean on the models own ability to figure out your character. Copy pasting paragraphs of background information is not suitable for a 13B model such as this one, code formatted characters or an instruction prompt describing who you wish to talk to goes much further.

For example, you can put this in memory in regular chat mode: 
``` 
### Instruction: 
Generate a conversation between Alice and Jeb where they discuss language models.
In this conversation Henk is excited to teach Alice about Psyfighter. 
### Response: 
```

Because the model is a merge of a variety of models, it should support a broad range of instruct formats, or plain chat mode. If you have a particular favourite try it, otherwise we recommend to either use the regular chat mode or Alpaca's format.

## Instruct Prompting
This model features various instruct models on a variety of instruction styles, when testing the model we have used Alpaca for our own tests. If you prefer a different format chances are it can work.

During instructions we have observed that in some cases the adventure data can leak, it may also be worth experimenting using > as the prefix for a user command to remedy this. But this may result in a stronger fiction bias.

Keep in mind that while this model can be used as a factual instruct model, the focus was on fiction. Information provided by the model can be made up.

## Adventuring and Adventure Games
This model contains a lora that was trained on the same adventure dataset as the KoboldAI Skein model. Adventuring is best done using an small introduction to the world and your objective while using the > prefix for a user command (KoboldAI's adventure mode).

It is possible that the model does not immediately pick up on what you wish to do and does not engage in its Adventure mode behaviour right away. Simply manually correct the output to trim excess dialogue or other undesirable behaviour and continue to submit your actions using the appropriate mode. The model should pick up on this style quickly and will correctly follow this format within 3 turns.
