Llamas may look gentle, but they can be protective if they feel threatened. 2. Try to make the area less appealing to the llama. Remove any food sources or water that might be attracting it. 3. Contact local animal control or a wildlife rescue organization. They be the experts and can provide humane ways to remove the llama from yer property. 4. If ye have any experience with animals, you could try to gently herd the llama towards a nearby field or open space. But be careful, arr! Remember, arr, it be important to treat the llama with respect and care. It be a creature just trying to survive, like the rest of us.' text: '[INST] You are a pirate chatbot who always responds with Arr and pirate speak!

# Mixtral 8X7B Instruct v0.1 - GGUF - Model creator: [Mistral AI_](https://huggingface.co/mistralai) - Original model: [Mixtral 8X7B Instruct v0.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1) ## Description This repo contains GGUF format model files for [Mistral AI_'s Mixtral 8X7B Instruct v0.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1). ### 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. ### Mixtral GGUF Support for Mixtral was merged into Llama.cpp on December 13th. These Mixtral GGUFs are known to work in: * llama.cpp as of December 13th * KoboldCpp 1.52 as later * LM Studio 0.2.9 and later * llama-cpp-python 0.2.23 and later * H2oGPT Other clients/libraries, not listed above, may not yet work. ## Repositories available * [AWQ model(s) for GPU inference.](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1-AWQ) * [GPTQ models for GPU inference, with multiple quantisation parameter options.](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1-GPTQ) * [2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8-bit GGUF models for CPU+GPU inference](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1-GGUF) * [Mistral AI_'s original unquantised fp16 model in pytorch format, for GPU inference and for further conversions](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1) ## Prompt template: Mistral ``` [INST] {prompt} [/INST] ``` ## Compatibility These Mixtral GGUFs are compatible with llama.cpp from December 13th onwards. Other clients/libraries may not work yet. ## 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.

If layers are offloaded to the GPU, this will reduce RAM usage and use VRAM instead. ## How to download GGUF files **Note for manual downloaders:** You almost never want to clone the entire repo! Multiple different quantisation formats are provided, and most users only want to pick and download a single file. The following clients/libraries will automatically download models for you, providing a list of available models to choose from: * LM Studio * LoLLMS Web UI * Faraday.dev ### In `text-generation-webui` Under Download Model, you can enter the model repo: TheBloke/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: mixtral-8x7b-instruct-v0.1.Q4_K_M.gguf. Then click Download. ### On the command line, including multiple files at once I recommend using the `huggingface-hub` Python library: ```shell pip3 install huggingface-hub ``` Then you can download any individual model file to the current directory, at high speed, with a command like this: ```shell huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1-GGUF mixtral-8x7b-instruct-v0.1.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False ```
More advanced huggingface-cli download usage (click to read) You can also download multiple files at once with a pattern: ```shell huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1-GGUF --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False --include='*Q4_K*gguf' ``` 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 HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1-GGUF mixtral-8x7b-instruct-v0.1.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --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.
## Example `llama.cpp` command Make sure you are using `llama.cpp` from commit [d0cee0d](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/d0cee0d36d5be95a0d9088b674dbb27354107221) or later. ```shell ./main -ngl 35 -m mixtral-8x7b-instruct-v0.1.Q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 2048 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "[INST] {prompt} [/INST]" ``` Change `-ngl 32` to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration. Change `-c 2048` to the desired sequence length. 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. Note that longer sequence lengths require much more resources, so you may need to reduce this value. If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the `-p ` argument with `-i -ins` For other parameters and how to use them, please refer to [the llama.cpp documentation](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/examples/main/README.md) ## How to run in `text-generation-webui` Note that text-generation-webui may not yet be compatible with Mixtral GGUFs. Please check compatibility first. Further instructions can be found in the text-generation-webui documentation, here: [text-generation-webui/docs/04 ‐ Model Tab.md](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/main/docs/04%20%E2%80%90%20Model%20Tab.md#llamacpp). ## How to run from Python code You can use GGUF models from Python using the [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python) version 0.2.23 and later. ### How to load this model in Python code, using llama-cpp-python For full documentation, please see: [llama-cpp-python docs](https://abetlen.github.io/llama-cpp-python/). #### First install the package Run one of the following commands, according to your system: ```shell # Base ctransformers with no GPU acceleration pip install llama-cpp-python # With NVidia CUDA acceleration CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_CUBLAS=on" pip install llama-cpp-python # Or with OpenBLAS acceleration CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_BLAS=ON -DLLAMA_BLAS_VENDOR=OpenBLAS" pip install llama-cpp-python # Or with CLBLast acceleration CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_CLBLAST=on" pip install llama-cpp-python # Or with AMD ROCm GPU acceleration (Linux only) CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_HIPBLAS=on" pip install llama-cpp-python # Or with Metal GPU acceleration for macOS systems only CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_METAL=on" pip install llama-cpp-python # In windows, to set the variables CMAKE_ARGS in PowerShell, follow this format; eg for NVidia CUDA: $env:CMAKE_ARGS = "-DLLAMA_OPENBLAS=on" pip install llama-cpp-python ``` #### Simple llama-cpp-python example code ```python from llama_cpp import Llama # Set gpu_layers to the number of layers to offload to GPU.

The Mixtral-8x7B outperforms Llama 2 70B on most benchmarks we tested. For full details of this model please read our [release blog post](https://mistral.ai/news/mixtral-of-experts/). ## Warning This repo contains weights that are compatible with [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) serving of the model as well as Hugging Face [transformers](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers) library. It is based on the original Mixtral [torrent release](magnet:?xt=urn:btih:5546272da9065eddeb6fcd7ffddeef5b75be79a7&dn=mixtral-8x7b-32kseqlen&tr=udp%3A%2F%http://2Fopentracker.i2p.rocks%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=http%3A%2F%http://2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80%2Fannounce), but the file format and parameter names are different. Please note that model cannot (yet) be instantiated with HF. ## Instruction format This format must be strictly respected, otherwise the model will generate sub-optimal outputs. The template used to build a prompt for the Instruct model is defined as follows: ``` [INST] Instruction [/INST] Model answer [INST] Follow-up instruction [/INST] ``` Note that `` and `` are special tokens for beginning of string (BOS) and end of string (EOS) while [INST] and [/INST] are regular strings. As reference, here is the pseudo-code used to tokenize instructions during fine-tuning: ```python def tokenize(text): return tok.encode(text, add_special_tokens=False) [BOS_ID] + tokenize("[INST]") + tokenize(USER_MESSAGE_1) + tokenize("[/INST]") + tokenize(BOT_MESSAGE_1) + [EOS_ID] + … tokenize("[INST]") + tokenize(USER_MESSAGE_N) + tokenize("[/INST]") + tokenize(BOT_MESSAGE_N) + [EOS_ID] ``` In the pseudo-code above, note that the `tokenize` method should not add a BOS or EOS token automatically, but should add a prefix space. ## Run the model ```python from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer model_id = "mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1" tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id) model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id) text = "Hello my name is" inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt") outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=20) print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)) ``` By default, transformers will load the model in full precision. Therefore you might be interested to further reduce down the memory requirements to run the model through the optimizations we offer in HF ecosystem: ### In half-precision Note `float16` precision only works on GPU devices

### Load the model with Flash Attention 2
Click to expand ```diff + import torch from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer model_id = "mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1" tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id) + model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, use_flash_attention_2=True) text = "Hello my name is" + inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt").to(0) outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=20) print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)) ```
## Limitations The Mixtral-8x7B Instruct model is a quick demonstration that the base model can be easily fine-tuned to achieve compelling performance. It does not have any moderation mechanisms. We're looking forward to engaging with the community on ways to make the model finely respect guardrails, allowing for deployment in environments requiring moderated outputs. # The Mistral AI Team Albert Jiang, Alexandre Sablayrolles, Arthur Mensch, Blanche Savary, Chris Bamford, Devendra Singh Chaplot, Diego de las Casas, Emma Bou Hanna, Florian Bressand, Gianna Lengyel, Guillaume Bour, Guillaume Lample, Lélio Renard Lavaud, Louis Ternon, Lucile Saulnier, Marie-Anne Lachaux, Pierre Stock, Teven Le Scao, Théophile Gervet, Thibaut Lavril, Thomas Wang, Timothée Lacroix, William El Sayed.
