# Chronos 70B v2 - AWQ
- Model creator: [Elinas](https://huggingface.co/elinas)
- Original model: [Chronos 70B v2](https://huggingface.co/elinas/chronos-70b-v2)
## Description
This repo contains AWQ model files for [Elinas's Chronos 70B v2](https://huggingface.co/elinas/chronos-70b-v2).
### About AWQ
AWQ is an efficient, accurate and blazing-fast low-bit weight quantization method, currently supporting 4-bit quantization. Compared to GPTQ, it offers faster Transformers-based inference.
It is also now supported by continuous batching server [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm), allowing use of AWQ models for high-throughput concurrent inference in multi-user server scenarios. Note that, at the time of writing, overall throughput is still lower than running vLLM with unquantised models, however using AWQ enables using much smaller GPUs which can lead to easier deployment and overall cost savings. For example, a 70B model can be run on 1 x 48GB GPU instead of 2 x 80GB.

## Licensing
The creator of the source model has listed its license as `cc-by-nc-4.0`, 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: [Elinas's Chronos 70B v2](https://huggingface.co/elinas/chronos-70b-v2).
## Provided files and AWQ parameters
For my first release of AWQ models, I am releasing 128g models only. I will consider adding 32g as well if there is interest, and once I have done perplexity and evaluation comparisons, but at this time 32g models are still not fully tested with AutoAWQ and vLLM.
Models are released as sharded safetensors files.

## Serving this model from vLLM
Documentation on installing and using vLLM [can be found here](https://vllm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
- When using vLLM as a server, pass the `--quantization awq` parameter, for example:
```shell
python3 python -m vllm.entrypoints.api_server --model TheBloke/Chronos-70B-v2-AWQ --quantization awq
```
When using vLLM from Python code, pass the `quantization=awq` parameter, for example:
```python
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
prompts = [
"Hello, my name is",
"The president of the United States is",
"The capital of France is",
"The future of AI is",
]
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)
llm = LLM(model="TheBloke/Chronos-70B-v2-AWQ", quantization="awq")
outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)
# Print the outputs.
for output in outputs:
prompt = output.prompt
generated_text = output.outputs[0].text
print(f"Prompt: {prompt!r}, Generated text: {generated_text!r}")
```
## How to use this AWQ model from Python code
### Install the necessary packages
Requires: [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) 0.0.2 or later
```shell
pip3 install autoawq
```
If you have problems installing [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) using the pre-built wheels, install it from source instead:
```shell
pip3 uninstall -y autoawq
git clone https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ
cd AutoAWQ
pip3 install .
```
### You can then try the following example code
```python
from awq import AutoAWQForCausalLM
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/Chronos-70B-v2-AWQ"
# Load model
model = AutoAWQForCausalLM.from_quantized(model_name_or_path, fuse_layers=True,
trust_remote_code=False, safetensors=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, trust_remote_code=False)
prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
{prompt}
### Response:
'''
print("\n\n*** Generate:")
tokens = tokenizer(
prompt_template,
return_tensors='pt'
).input_ids.cuda()
# Generate output
generation_output = model.generate(
tokens,
do_sample=True,
temperature=0.7,
top_p=0.95,
top_k=40,
max_new_tokens=512
)
print("Output: ", tokenizer.decode(generation_output[0]))
# Inference can also be done using transformers' pipeline
from transformers import 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'])
```
## Compatibility
The files provided are tested to work with [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ), and [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm).
[Huggingface Text Generation Inference (TGI)](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference) is not yet compatible with AWQ, but a PR is open which should bring support soon: [TGI PR #781](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference/issues/781).

# Original model card: Elinas's Chronos 70B v2
# chronos-70b-v2
This is the FP16 PyTorch / HF version of **chronos-70b-v2** based on the **Llama v2 Base** model. This version will **not fit on a consumer GPU**, use a quantized type of model from those linked below!
Big thank you to the Pygmalion team for providing compute. Reach out to me if you would like individual credit.
This model is primarily focused on chat, roleplay, storywriting, with significantly improved reasoning and logic. It does not have any form of censorship, please use responsibly.
Chronos can generate very long outputs with coherent text, largely due to the human inputs it was trained on, and it supports context length up to 4096 tokens.
## License
This model is strictly [*non-commercial*](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) (**cc-by-nc-4.0**) use only which takes priority over the **LLAMA 2 COMMUNITY LICENSE AGREEMENT**. If you'd like to discuss using it for your business, contact Elinas through Discord **elinas**, or X (Twitter) **@officialelinas**.
The "Model" is completely free (ie. base model, derivates, merges/mixes) to use for non-commercial purposes as long as the the included **cc-by-nc-4.0** license in any parent repository, and the non-commercial use statute remains, regardless of other models' licences.
At the moment, only 70b models released will be under this license and the terms may change at any time (ie. a more permissive license allowing commercial use).
## Model Usage
This model uses Alpaca formatting, so for optimal model performance, use it to start the dialogue or story, and if you use a frontend like SillyTavern ENABLE Alpaca instruction mode:
```
### Instruction:
Your instruction or question here.
### Response:
```
Not using the format will make the model perform significantly worse than intended.
## Tips
Sampling and settings can make a significant difference for this model, so play around with them. I was also informed by a user that if you are using **KoboldCPP** that using the flag
`--unbantokens` may improve model performance **significantly**. This has not been tested by myself, but that is something to keep in mind.
