This may not be a complete list; if you know of others, please let me know!
## 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.
Explanation of GPTQ parameters
- 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/Yi-6B-GPTQ` in the "Download model" box.
To download from another branch, add `:branchname` to the end of the download name, eg `TheBloke/Yi-6B-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 `Yi-6B-GPTQ`:
```shell
mkdir Yi-6B-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Yi-6B-GPTQ --local-dir Yi-6B-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```
To download from a different branch, add the `--revision` parameter:
```shell
mkdir Yi-6B-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Yi-6B-GPTQ --revision gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True --local-dir Yi-6B-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```
More advanced huggingface-cli download usage
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 Yi-6B-GPTQ
HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Yi-6B-GPTQ --local-dir Yi-6B-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.
### 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/Yi-6B-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.)
## How to easily download and use this model in [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui)
Please make sure you're using the latest version of [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui).
It is strongly recommended to use the text-generation-webui one-click-installers unless you're sure you know how to make a manual install.
1. Click the **Model tab**.
2. Under **Download custom model or LoRA**, enter `TheBloke/Yi-6B-GPTQ`.
- To download from a specific branch, enter for example `TheBloke/Yi-6B-GPTQ:gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True`
- see Provided Files above for the list of branches for each option.
3. Click **Download**.
4. The model will start downloading. Once it's finished it will say "Done".
5. In the top left, click the refresh icon next to **Model**.
6. In the **Model** dropdown, choose the model you just downloaded: `Yi-6B-GPTQ`
7. The model will automatically load, and is now ready for use!
8. If you want any custom settings, set them and then click **Save settings for this model** followed by **Reload the Model** in the top right.
- Note that you do not need to and should not set manual GPTQ parameters any more. These are set automatically from the file `quantize_config.json`.
9. Once you're ready, click the **Text Generation** tab and enter a prompt to get started!
## Serving this model from Text Generation Inference (TGI)
It's recommended to use TGI version 1.1.0 or later. The official Docker container is: `ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:1.1.0`
Example Docker parameters:
```shell
--model-id TheBloke/Yi-6B-GPTQ --port 3000 --quantize gptq --max-input-length 3696 --max-total-tokens 4096 --max-batch-prefill-tokens 4096
```
Example Python code for interfacing with TGI (requires huggingface-hub 0.17.0 or later):
```shell

## How to use this GPTQ model from Python code
### 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 transformers optimum
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
git checkout v0.4.2
pip3 install .
```
### You can then use the following code
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, pipeline
model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/Yi-6B-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=True,
revision="main")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, use_fast=True)
prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''{prompt}
'''
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: 01-ai's Yi 6B
## Introduction
The **Yi** series models are large language models trained from scratch by
developers at [01.AI](https://01.ai/). The first public release contains two
bilingual(English/Chinese) base models with the parameter sizes of 6B([`Yi-6B`](https://huggingface.co/01-ai/Yi-6B))
and 34B([`Yi-34B`](https://huggingface.co/01-ai/Yi-34B)). Both of them are trained
with 4K sequence length and can be extended to 32K during inference time.
The [`Yi-6B-200K`](https://huggingface.co/01-ai/Yi-6B-200K)
and [`Yi-34B-200K`](https://huggingface.co/01-ai/Yi-34B-200K) are base model with
200K context length.

While benchmarking open-source models, we have observed a disparity between the
results generated by our pipeline and those reported in public sources (e.g.
OpenCompass). Upon conducting a more in-depth investigation of this difference,
we have discovered that various models may employ different prompts,
post-processing strategies, and sampling techniques, potentially resulting in
significant variations in the outcomes. Our prompt and post-processing strategy
remains consistent with the original benchmark, and greedy decoding is employed
during evaluation without any post-processing for the generated content. For
scores that were not reported by the original authors (including scores reported
with different settings), we try to get results with our pipeline.
To evaluate the model's capability extensively, we adopted the methodology
outlined in Llama2. Specifically, we included PIQA, SIQA, HellaSwag, WinoGrande,
ARC, OBQA, and CSQA to assess common sense reasoning. SquAD, QuAC, and BoolQ
were incorporated to evaluate reading comprehension. CSQA was exclusively tested
using a 7-shot setup, while all other tests were conducted with a 0-shot
configuration. Additionally, we introduced GSM8K (8-shot@1), MATH (4-shot@1),
HumanEval (0-shot@1), and MBPP (3-shot@1) under the category "Math & Code". Due
to technical constraints, we did not test Falcon-180 on QuAC and OBQA; the score
is derived by averaging the scores on the remaining tasks. Since the scores for
these two tasks are generally lower than the average, we believe that
Falcon-180B's performance was not underestimated.
## Usage
Please visit our [github repository](https://github.com/01-ai/Yi) for general
guidance on how to use this model.
## Disclaimer
Although we use data compliance checking algorithms during the training process
to ensure the compliance of the trained model to the best of our ability, due to
the complexity of the data and the diversity of language model usage scenarios,
we cannot guarantee that the model will generate correct and reasonable output
in all scenarios. Please be aware that there is still a risk of the model
producing problematic outputs. We will not be responsible for any risks and
issues resulting from misuse, misguidance, illegal usage, and related
misinformation, as well as any associated data security concerns.
