Nous Hermes Llama2 70B - GGML

• Model creator: NousResearch
• Original model: Nous Hermes Llama2 70B

Description

This repo contains GGML format model files for NousResearch's Nous Hermes Llama2 70B.

Important note regarding GGML files.

The GGML format has now been superseded by GGUF. As of August 21st 2023, llama.cpp no longer supports GGML models. Third party clients and libraries are expected to still support it for a time, but many may also drop support.

Please use the GGUF models instead.

About GGML

GPU acceleration is now available for Llama 2 70B GGML files, with both CUDA (NVidia) and Metal (macOS). The following clients/libraries are known to work with these files, including with GPU acceleration:

• llama.cpp, commit e76d630 and later.
• text-generation-webui, the most widely used web UI.
• KoboldCpp, version 1.37 and later. A powerful GGML web UI, especially good for story telling.
• LM Studio, a fully featured local GUI with GPU acceleration for both Windows and macOS. Use 0.1.11 or later for macOS GPU acceleration with 70B models.
• llama-cpp-python, version 0.1.77 and later. A Python library with LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible API server.
• ctransformers, version 0.2.15 and later. A Python library with LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible API server.

Repositories available

• GPTQ models for GPU inference, with multiple quantisation parameter options.
• 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8-bit GGUF models for CPU+GPU inference
• 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8-bit GGML models for CPU+GPU inference (deprecated)
• NousResearch's original unquantised fp16 model in pytorch format, for GPU inference and for further conversions

Prompt template: Alpaca-InstructOnly

### Instruction:

### Response:

<!-- compatibility_ggml start -->

Compatibility

Works with llama.cpp commit e76d630 until August 21st, 2023

Will not work with llama.cpp after commit dadbed99e65252d79f81101a392d0d6497b86caa.

For compatibility with latest llama.cpp, please use GGUF files instead.

Or one of the other tools and libraries listed above.

To use in llama.cpp, you must add -gqa 8 argument.

For other UIs and libraries, please check the docs.

Explanation of the new k-quant methods

<details> <summary>Click to see details</summary>

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
• GGML_TYPE_Q8_K - "type-0" 8-bit quantization. Only used for quantizing intermediate results. The difference to the existing Q8_0 is that the block size is 256. All 2-6 bit dot products are implemented for this quantization type.

Provided files

Note: the above RAM figures assume no GPU offloading. If layers are offloaded to the GPU, this will reduce RAM usage and use VRAM instead.

How to run in llama.cpp

Make sure you are using llama.cpp from commit dadbed99e65252d79f81101a392d0d6497b86caa or earlier.

For compatibility with latest llama.cpp, please use GGUF files instead.

I use the following command line; adjust for your tastes and needs:

./main -t 10 -ngl 40 -gqa 8 -m nous-hermes-llama2-70b.ggmlv3.q4_K_M.bin --color -c 4096 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "### Instruction:\n\nWrite a story about llamas\n\n### Response:"

Change -t 10 to the number of physical CPU cores you have. For example if your system has 8 cores/16 threads, use -t 8. If you are fully offloading the model to GPU, use -t 1

Change -ngl 40 to the number of GPU layers you have VRAM for. Use -ngl 100 to offload all layers to VRAM - if you have a 48GB card, or 2 x 24GB, or similar. Otherwise you can partially offload as many as you have VRAM for, on one or more GPUs.

If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the -p <PROMPT> argument with -i -ins

Remember the -gqa 8 argument, required for Llama 70B models.

Change -c 4096 to the desired sequence length for this model. For models that use RoPE, add --rope-freq-base 10000 --rope-freq-scale 0.5 for doubled context, or --rope-freq-base 10000 --rope-freq-scale 0.25 for 4x context.

For other parameters and how to use them, please refer to the llama.cpp documentation

Thanks, and how to contribute.

Thanks to the chirper.ai team!

I've had a lot of people ask if they can contribute. I enjoy providing models and helping people, and would love to be able to spend even more time doing it, as well as expanding into new projects like fine tuning/training.

If you're able and willing to contribute it will be most gratefully received and will help me to keep providing more models, and to start work on new AI projects.

Donaters will get priority support on any and all AI/LLM/model questions and requests, access to a private Discord room, plus other benefits.

Original model card: NousResearch's Nous Hermes Llama2 70B

Model Card: Nous-Hermes-Llama2-70b

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

Model Description

Nous-Hermes-Llama2-70b is a state-of-the-art language model fine-tuned on over 300,000 instructions. This model was fine-tuned by Nous Research, with Teknium and Emozilla leading the fine tuning process and dataset curation, Pygmalion sponsoring the compute, and several other contributors.

This Hermes model uses the exact same dataset as Hermes on Llama-1. This is to ensure consistency between the old Hermes and new, for anyone who wanted to keep Hermes as similar to the old one, just more capable.

This model stands out for its long responses, lower hallucination rate, and absence of OpenAI censorship mechanisms in the synthetic training data. The fine-tuning process was performed with a 4096 sequence length on an 8x H100 80GB machine.

Model Training

The model was trained almost entirely on synthetic GPT-4 outputs. Curating high quality GPT-4 datasets enables incredibly high quality in knowledge, task completion, and style.

This includes data from diverse sources such as GPTeacher, the general, roleplay v1&2, code instruct datasets, Nous Instruct & PDACTL (unpublished), and several others, detailed further below

Collaborators

The model fine-tuning and the datasets were a collaboration of efforts and resources between Teknium, Karan4D, Emozilla, Huemin Art, and Pygmalion AI.

Special mention goes to @winglian for assisting in some of the training issues.

Huge shoutout and acknowledgement is deserved for all the dataset creators who generously share their datasets openly.

Among the contributors of datasets:

• GPTeacher was made available by Teknium
• Wizard LM by nlpxucan
• Nous Research Instruct Dataset was provided by Karan4D and HueminArt.
• GPT4-LLM and Unnatural Instructions were provided by Microsoft
• Airoboros dataset by jondurbin
• Camel-AI's domain expert datasets are from Camel-AI
• CodeAlpaca dataset by Sahil 2801.

If anyone was left out, please open a thread in the community tab.

Future Plans

We plan to continue to iterate on both more high quality data, and new data filtering techniques to eliminate lower quality data going forward.

Model Usage

The model is available for download on Hugging Face. It is suitable for a wide range of language tasks, from generating creative text to understanding and following complex instructions.
