<!-- licensing start -->
## Licensing

The creator of the source model has listed its license as `['mit']`, and this quantization has therefore used that same license.

As this model is based on Llama 2, it is also subject to the Meta Llama 2 license terms, and the license files for that are additionally included. It should therefore be considered as being claimed to be licensed under both licenses. I contacted Hugging Face for clarification on dual licensing but they do not yet have an official position. Should this change, or should Meta provide any feedback on this situation, I will update this section accordingly.

In the meantime, any questions regarding licensing, and in particular how these two licenses might interact, should be directed to the original model repository: [NousResearch's Nous Puffin 70B](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Nous-puffin-70b).

## 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.

All recent GPTQ files are made with AutoGPTQ, and all files in non-main branches are made with AutoGPTQ. Files in the `main` branch which were uploaded before August 2023 were made with GPTQ-for-LLaMa.

<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 dataset used for quantisation. Using a dataset more appropriate to the model's training can improve quantisation accuracy. Note that the GPTQ 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 models in 4-bit.

## How to use this GPTQ model from Python code

### Install the necessary packages

Requires: Transformers 4.32.0 or later, Optimum 1.12.0 or later, and AutoGPTQ 0.4.2 or later.

```shell
pip3 install transformers>=4.32.0 optimum>=1.12.0
pip3 install auto-gptq --extra-index-url https://huggingface.github.io/autogptq-index/whl/cu118/  # Use cu117 if on CUDA 11.7
```

If you have problems installing AutoGPTQ using the pre-built wheels, install it from source instead:

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

### For CodeLlama models only: you must use Transformers 4.33.0 or later.

If 4.33.0 is not yet released when you read this, you will need to install Transformers from source:
```shell
pip3 uninstall -y transformers
pip3 install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git
```

### You can then use the following code

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

model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/Nous-Puffin-70B-GPTQ"
# To use a different branch, change revision
# For example: revision="main"
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'''### HUMAN:
{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
)

print(pipe(prompt_template)[0]['generated_text'])
```

# Original model card: NousResearch's Nous Puffin 70B


## **Redmond-Puffin-70B**

**Based off Puffin 13B which was the first commercially available language model released by Nous Research!**

Compute provided by PygmalionAI, thank you! Follow PygmalionAI on Twitter @pygmalion_ai.

This is a larger version of Puffin which was originally the worlds first third-party llama-2 fine-tune. leveraging a hand curated set of 3K high quality examples, many of which take full advantage of the 4096 context length of Llama 2. This model was fine-tuned by Nous Research, with LDJ leading the training and dataset curation, along with significant dataset formation contributions by J-Supha.

Special thank you to Pygmalion AI for sponsoring the compute.

Special thank you to Emozilla for assisting with training experimentations and benchmarking.

## Model Training

Redmond-Puffin 70B is a new model trained for multiple epochs on a dataset of 3,000 carefully curated GPT-4 examples, most of which are long context conversations between a real human and GPT-4. 

Additional data came from carefully curated sub sections of datasets such as CamelAI's Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Math.

## Prompt Format

The reccomended model usage is:

```
### human:

### response:
```
Optional reccomended pre-prompt / system prompt:

```
### human: Interact in conversation to the best of your ability, please be concise, logical, intelligent and coherent.

### response: Sure! sounds good.
```

## When should I use Puffin or Hermes 2?

Although full benchmarks have not completed for Puffin,
Original Puffin 13B and Hermes-2 13B both beat previous SOTA for GPT4ALL benchmarks, with Hermes-2 winning by a 0.1% margin over Puffin.

Overall, for general purpose zero-shot and/or single turn instructions, Hermes will likely be the way to go. Puffin may be prefferred for creative long conversation interactions, like having Puffin play a character or help brain storm creative ideas or concepts that make contextual sense within an already deep conversation. 

Thank you to the comprehensive analysis and comparison of Puffin and Hermes by reddit user WolframRavenwolf here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/158j9r9/nous_hermes_llama2_vs_redmond_puffin_13b/

![puffin](https://i.imgur.com/TQui8m7.png) 

![puffin](https://i.imgur.com/tderIfl.png) 

## Notable Features:

 - The first Llama-2 based fine-tuned model released by Nous Research.

 - Ability to recall information upto 2023 without internet (ChatGPT cut off date is in 2021)

 - Pretrained on 2 trillion tokens of text. (This is double the amount of most Open LLM's)

 - Pretrained with a context length of 4096 tokens, and fine-tuned on a significant amount of multi-turn conversations reaching that full token limit.

 - The first commercially available language model released by Nous Research.

## Future Plans

This is a relatively early build amongst the grand plans for the future of Puffin! 

Current limitations: Some token mismatch problems have been identified, these may effect the current output quality, we plan to have this solved in Puffin V2 along with other improvements.

## How you can help!

In the near future we plan on leveraging the help of domain specific expert volunteers to eliminate any mathematically/verifiably incorrect answers from our training curations. 

If you have at-least a bachelors in mathematics, physics, biology or chemistry and would like to volunteer even just 30 minutes of your expertise time, please contact LDJ on discord!

## Benchmarks (New benchmarks coming soon, however here are the 13B benchmarks for now)!

As of Puffins release, it achieves a new SOTA for the GPT4All benchmarks! Supplanting Hermes for the #1 position!
(Rounded to nearest tenth)

Previous Sota: Hermes - 68.8
New Sota:      Puffin - 69.9 (+1.1)
 
Puffin 13B supplants Hermes-2 for the #1 spot in Arc-E, HellaSwag and Winogrande!

Puffin also perfectly ties with Hermes in PIQA, however Hermes-2 still excels in much of Big Bench and AGIEval, so it's highly reccomended you give it a try as well!
