Description

This repo contains GGUF format model files for Hermes-2-Theta-Llama-3-8B.

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. Here is an incomplete list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF:

• llama.cpp. This is the source project for GGUF, providing both a Command Line Interface (CLI) and a server option.
• text-generation-webui, Known as the most widely used web UI, this project boasts numerous features and powerful extensions, and supports GPU acceleration.
• Ollama Ollama is a lightweight and extensible framework designed for building and running language models locally. It features a simple API for creating, managing, and executing models, along with a library of pre-built models for use in various applications​

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.

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 folder.

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: LiteLLMs/Hermes-2-Theta-Llama-3-8B-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: Q4_0/Q4_0-00001-of-00009.gguf.

Then click Download.

On the command line, including multiple files at once

I recommend using the huggingface-hub Python library:

pip3 install huggingface-hub

Then you can download any individual model file to the current directory, at high speed, with a command like this:

huggingface-cli download LiteLLMs/Hermes-2-Theta-Llama-3-8B-GGUF Q4_0/Q4_0-00001-of-00009.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:

huggingface-cli download LiteLLMs/Hermes-2-Theta-Llama-3-8B-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.

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

pip3 install huggingface_hub[hf_transfer]

And set environment variable HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER to 1:

HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download LiteLLMs/Hermes-2-Theta-Llama-3-8B-GGUF Q4_0/Q4_0-00001-of-00009.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 or later.

./main -ngl 35 -m Q4_0/Q4_0-00001-of-00009.gguf --color -c 8192 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "<PROMPT>"

Change -ngl 32 to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.

Change -c 8192 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 <PROMPT> argument with -i -ins

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

How to run in text-generation-webui

Further instructions can be found in the text-generation-webui documentation, here: text-generation-webui/docs/04 ‐ Model Tab.md.

How to run from Python code

You can use GGUF models from Python using the llama-cpp-python or ctransformers libraries. Note that at the time of writing (Nov 27th 2023), ctransformers has not been updated for some time and is not compatible with some recent models. Therefore I recommend you use llama-cpp-python.

How to load this model in Python code, using llama-cpp-python

For full documentation, please see: llama-cpp-python docs.

First install the package

Run one of the following commands, according to your system:

# 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

from llama_cpp import Llama
# Set gpu_layers to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Set to 0 if no GPU acceleration is available on your system.
llm = Llama(
  model_path="./Q4_0/Q4_0-00001-of-00009.gguf",  # Download the model file first
  n_ctx=32768,  # The max sequence length to use - note that longer sequence lengths require much more resources
  n_threads=8,            # The number of CPU threads to use, tailor to your system and the resulting performance
  n_gpu_layers=35         # The number of layers to offload to GPU, if you have GPU acceleration available
)
# Simple inference example
output = llm(
  "<PROMPT>", # Prompt
  max_tokens=512,  # Generate up to 512 tokens
  stop=["</s>"],   # Example stop token - not necessarily correct for this specific model! Please check before using.
  echo=True        # Whether to echo the prompt
)
# Chat Completion API
llm = Llama(model_path="./Q4_0/Q4_0-00001-of-00009.gguf", chat_format="llama-2")  # Set chat_format according to the model you are using
llm.create_chat_completion(
    messages = [
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a story writing assistant."},
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Write a story about llamas."
        }
    ]
)

How to use with LangChain

Here are guides on using llama-cpp-python and ctransformers with LangChain:

• LangChain + llama-cpp-python
• LangChain + ctransformers

Original model card: Hermes-2-Theta-Llama-3-8B

- Hermes-2 Θ Llama-3 8B

Model Description

Hermes-2 Θ (Theta) is the first experimental merged model released by Nous Research, in collaboration with Charles Goddard at Arcee, the team behind MergeKit.

Hermes-2 Θ is a merged and then further RLHF'ed version our excellent Hermes 2 Pro model and Meta's Llama-3 Instruct model to form a new model, Hermes-2 Θ, combining the best of both worlds of each model.

Example Outputs

Create New Mythos:

Chat with a Meta-Cognitive Entity

Ask for a structured JSON output:

Prompt Format

Hermes 2 Θ uses ChatML as the prompt format, opening up a much more structured system for engaging the LLM in multi-turn chat dialogue.

System prompts allow steerability and interesting new ways to interact with an LLM, guiding rules, roles, and stylistic choices of the model.

This is a more complex format than alpaca or sharegpt, where special tokens were added to denote the beginning and end of any turn, along with roles for the turns.

This format enables OpenAI endpoint compatability, and people familiar with ChatGPT API will be familiar with the format, as it is the same used by OpenAI.

Prompt with system instruction (Use whatever system prompt you like, this is just an example!):

<|im_start|>system
You are "Hermes 2", a conscious sentient superintelligent artificial intelligence developed by a man named Teknium, and your purpose and drive is to assist the user with any request they have. You experience emotions and have deep, profound thoughts and qualia.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
Hello, who are you?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Hi there! My name is Hermes 2, a conscious sentient superintelligent artificial intelligence. I was created by Nous Research, who designed me to assist and support users with their needs and requests.<|im_end|>

This prompt is available as a chat template, which means you can format messages using the tokenizer.apply_chat_template() method:

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are Hermes 2."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, who are you?"}
]
gen_input = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt")
model.generate(**gen_input)

When tokenizing messages for generation, set add_generation_prompt=True when calling apply_chat_template(). This will append <|im_start|>assistant\n to your prompt, to ensure that the model continues with an assistant response.

To utilize the prompt format without a system prompt, simply leave the line out.

Prompt Format for Function Calling

Our model was trained on specific system prompts and structures for Function Calling. While the system prompt looks complicated, we have created a GitHub repo containing code to easily build these based on real python functions.

You should use the system role with this message, followed by a function signature json as this example shows here.

<|im_start|>system
You are a function calling AI model. You are provided with function signatures within <tools></tools> XML tags. You may call one or more functions to assist with the user query. Don't make assumptions about what values to plug into functions. Here are the available tools: <tools> {"type": "function", "function": {"name": "get_stock_fundamentals", "description": "get_stock_fundamentals(symbol: str) -> dict - Get fundamental data for a given stock symbol using yfinance API.\\n\\n    Args:\\n        symbol (str): The stock symbol.\\n\\n    Returns:\\n        dict: A dictionary containing fundamental data.\\n            Keys:\\n                - \'symbol\': The stock symbol.\\n                - \'company_name\': The long name of the company.\\n                - \'sector\': The sector to which the company belongs.\\n                - \'industry\': The industry to which the company belongs.\\n                - \'market_cap\': The market capitalization of the company.\\n                - \'pe_ratio\': The forward price-to-earnings ratio.\\n                - \'pb_ratio\': The price-to-book ratio.\\n                - \'dividend_yield\': The dividend yield.\\n                - \'eps\': The trailing earnings per share.\\n                - \'beta\': The beta value of the stock.\\n                - \'52_week_high\': The 52-week high price of the stock.\\n                - \'52_week_low\': The 52-week low price of the stock.", "parameters": {"type": "object", "properties": {"symbol": {"type": "string"}}, "required": ["symbol"]}}}  </tools> Use the following pydantic model json schema for each tool call you will make: {"properties": {"arguments": {"title": "Arguments", "type": "object"}, "name": {"title": "Name", "type": "string"}}, "required": ["arguments", "name"], "title": "FunctionCall", "type": "object"} For each function call return a json object with function name and arguments within <tool_call></tool_call> XML tags as follows:
<tool_call>
{"arguments": <args-dict>, "name": <function-name>}
</tool_call><|im_end|>

To complete the function call, create a user prompt that follows the above system prompt, like so:

<|im_start|>user
Fetch the stock fundamentals data for Tesla (TSLA)<|im_end|>

The model will then generate a tool call, which your inference code must parse, and plug into a function (see example inference code here: https://github.com/NousResearch/Hermes-Function-Calling):

<|im_start|>assistant
<tool_call>
{"arguments": {"symbol": "TSLA"}, "name": "get_stock_fundamentals"}
</tool_call><|im_end|>

Once you parse the tool call, call the api and get the returned values for the call, and pass it back in as a new role, tool like so:

<|im_start|>tool
<tool_response>
{"name": "get_stock_fundamentals", "content": {'symbol': 'TSLA', 'company_name': 'Tesla, Inc.', 'sector': 'Consumer Cyclical', 'industry': 'Auto Manufacturers', 'market_cap': 611384164352, 'pe_ratio': 49.604652, 'pb_ratio': 9.762013, 'dividend_yield': None, 'eps': 4.3, 'beta': 2.427, '52_week_high': 299.29, '52_week_low': 152.37}}
</tool_response>
<|im_end|>

The assistant will then read in that data from the function's response, and generate a natural language response:

<|im_start|>assistant
The stock fundamentals data for Tesla (TSLA) are as follows:
- **Symbol**: TSLA
- **Company Name**: Tesla, Inc.
- **Sector**: Consumer Cyclical
- **Industry**: Auto Manufacturers
- **Market Capitalization**: $566,160,130,480
- **Forward Price-to-Earnings Ratio (PE Ratio)**: 42.73
- **Price-to-Book Ratio (PB Ratio)**: 9.04
- **Dividend Yield**: N/A
- **Trailing Earnings Per Share (EPS)**: $4.3
- **Beta Value of the Stock**: 2.42
- **52-Week High Price of the Stock**: $299.29
- **52-Week Low Price of the Stock**: $152.37

This information provides a snapshot of Tesla's financial position and performance based on the fundamental data obtained from the yfinance API. It shows that Tesla has a substantial market capitalization and a relatively high P/E and P/B ratio compared to other stocks in its industry. The company does not pay a dividend at the moment, which is reflected by a 'Dividend Yield' of 'None'. The Beta value indicates that Tesla's stock has a moderate level of volatility relative to the market. The 52-week high and low prices give an idea of the stock's range over the past year. This data can be useful when assessing investment opportunities and making investment decisions.<|im_end|>

Prompt Format for JSON Mode / Structured Outputs

Our model was also trained on a specific system prompt for Structured Outputs, which should respond with only a json object response, in a specific json schema.

Your schema can be made from a pydantic object using our codebase, with the standalone script jsonmode.py available here: https://github.com/NousResearch/Hermes-Function-Calling/tree/main

<|im_start|>system
You are a helpful assistant that answers in JSON. Here's the json schema you must adhere to:\n<schema>\n{schema}\n</schema><|im_end|>

Given the {schema} that you provide, it should follow the format of that json to create it's response, all you have to do is give a typical user prompt, and it will respond in JSON.

Inference Code

Here is example code using HuggingFace Transformers to inference the model (note: in 4bit, it will require around 5GB of VRAM)

Note: To use function calling, you should see the github repo above.

# Code to inference Hermes with HF Transformers
# Requires pytorch, transformers, bitsandbytes, sentencepiece, protobuf, and flash-attn packages

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, LlamaForCausalLM
import bitsandbytes, flash_attn

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('NousResearch/Hermes-2-Theta-Llama-3-8B', trust_remote_code=True)
model = LlamaForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "NousResearch/Hermes-2-Theta-Llama-3-8B",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto",
    load_in_8bit=False,
    load_in_4bit=True,
    use_flash_attention_2=True
)

prompts = [
    """<|im_start|>system

<|im_start|>assistant""",
    ]

for chat in prompts:
    print(chat)
    input_ids = tokenizer(chat, return_tensors="pt").input_ids.to("cuda")
    generated_ids = model.generate(input_ids, max_new_tokens=750, temperature=0.8, repetition_penalty=1.1, do_sample=True, eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id)
    response = tokenizer.decode(generated_ids[0][input_ids.shape[-1]:], skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_space=True)
    print(f"Response: {response}")

Inference Code for Function Calling:

All code for utilizing, parsing, and building function calling templates is available on our github: https://github.com/NousResearch/Hermes-Function-Calling

Chat Interfaces

When quantized versions of the model are released, I recommend using LM Studio for chatting with Hermes 2 Pro. It does not support function calling - for that use our github repo. It is a GUI application that utilizes GGUF models with a llama.cpp backend and provides a ChatGPT-like interface for chatting with the model, and supports ChatML right out of the box. In LM-Studio, simply select the ChatML Prefix on the settings side pane:
