# Hexoteric 7B - AWQ
- Model creator: [Caldera AI](https://huggingface.co/CalderaAI)
- Original model: [Hexoteric 7B](https://huggingface.co/CalderaAI/Hexoteric-7B)
## Description
This repo contains AWQ model files for [Caldera AI's Hexoteric 7B](https://huggingface.co/CalderaAI/Hexoteric-7B).
These files were quantised using hardware kindly provided by [Massed Compute](https://massedcompute.com/).
### 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 with equivalent or better quality compared to the most commonly used GPTQ settings.
It is supported by:
- [Text Generation Webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui) - using Loader: AutoAWQ
- [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) - Llama and Mistral models only
- [Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference)
- [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) - for use from Python code
## Repositories available

## Prompt template: Alpaca
```
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
{prompt}
### Response:
```
## 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.
| Branch | Bits | GS | AWQ Dataset | Seq Len | Size |
| ------ | ---- | -- | ----------- | ------- | ---- |
| [main](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Hexoteric-7B-AWQ/tree/main) | 4 | 128 | [wikitext](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikitext/viewer/wikitext-2-v1/test) | 4096 | 4.15 GB
## 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/Hexoteric-7B-AWQ`.
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: `Hexoteric-7B-AWQ`
7. Select **Loader: AutoAWQ**.
8. Click Load, and the model will load and is now ready for use.
9. 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.
10. Once you're ready, click the **Text Generation** tab and enter a prompt to get started!
## Multi-user inference server: vLLM
Documentation on installing and using vLLM [can be found here](https://vllm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
- Please ensure you are using vLLM version 0.2 or later.
- When using vLLM as a server, pass the `--quantization awq` parameter.
For example:
```shell
python3 python -m vllm.entrypoints.api_server --model TheBloke/Hexoteric-7B-AWQ --quantization awq
```
- When using vLLM from Python code, again set `quantization=awq`.
For example:
```python
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
prompts = [
"Tell me about AI",
"Write a story about llamas",
"What is 291 - 150?",
"How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?",
]
prompt_template=f'''Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
{prompt}
### Response:
'''
prompts = [prompt_template.format(prompt=prompt) for prompt in prompts]
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)
llm = LLM(model="TheBloke/Hexoteric-7B-AWQ", quantization="awq", dtype="auto")
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}")
```
## Multi-user inference server: Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)
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/Hexoteric-7B-AWQ --port 3000 --quantize awq --max-input-length 3696 --max-total-tokens 4096 --max-batch-prefill-tokens 4096
```
Example Python code for interfacing with TGI (requires [huggingface-hub](https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub) 0.17.0 or later):
```shell
pip3 install huggingface-hub
```
```python
from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient
endpoint_url = "https://your-endpoint-url-here"
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:
'''
client = InferenceClient(endpoint_url)
response = client.text_generation(prompt,
max_new_tokens=128,
do_sample=True,
temperature=0.7,
top_p=0.95,
top_k=40,
repetition_penalty=1.1)
print(f"Model output: ", response)
```
## Inference from Python code using AutoAWQ
### Install the AutoAWQ package
Requires: [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) 0.1.1 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 .
```
### AutoAWQ example code
```python
from awq import AutoAWQForCausalLM
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/Hexoteric-7B-AWQ"
# Load tokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, trust_remote_code=False)
# Load model
model = AutoAWQForCausalLM.from_quantized(model_name_or_path, fuse_layers=True,
trust_remote_code=False, safetensors=True)
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("*** Running model.generate:")
token_input = tokenizer(
prompt_template,
return_tensors='pt'
).input_ids.cuda()
# Generate output
generation_output = model.generate(
token_input,
do_sample=True,
temperature=0.7,
top_p=0.95,
top_k=40,
max_new_tokens=512
)
# Get the tokens from the output, decode them, print them
token_output = generation_output[0]
text_output = tokenizer.decode(token_output)
print("LLM output: ", text_output)
"""
# Inference should be possible with transformers pipeline as well in future
# But currently this is not yet supported by AutoAWQ (correct as of September 25th 2023)
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'])
"""
```
