# Eric Hartford's Based 30B GGML

These files are GGML format model files for [Eric Hartford's Based 30B](https://huggingface.co/ehartford/based-30b).

GGML files are for CPU + GPU inference using [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) and libraries and UIs which support this format, such as:
* [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui)
* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp)
* [ParisNeo/GPT4All-UI](https://github.com/ParisNeo/gpt4all-ui)
* [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python)
* [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers)

## Repositories available

* [4-bit GPTQ models for GPU inference](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/based-30B-GPTQ)
* [4-bit, 5-bit, and 8-bit GGML models for CPU+GPU inference](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/based-30B-GGML)
* [Unquantised fp16 model in pytorch format, for GPU inference and for further conversions](https://huggingface.co/ehartford/based-30b)

## THE FILES IN MAIN BRANCH REQUIRES LATEST LLAMA.CPP (May 19th 2023 - commit 2d5db48)!

llama.cpp recently made another breaking change to its quantisation methods - https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/1508

I have quantised the GGML files in this repo with the latest version. Therefore you will require llama.cpp compiled on May 19th or later (commit `2d5db48` or later) to use them.

## Provided files
| Name | Quant method | Bits | Size | Max RAM required | Use case |
| ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ----- |
| based-30b.ggmlv3.q4_0.bin | q4_0 | 4 | 18.30 GB | 20.80 GB | 4-bit. |
| based-30b.ggmlv3.q4_1.bin | q4_1 | 4 | 20.33 GB | 22.83 GB | 4-bit. Higher accuracy than q4_0 but not as high as q5_0. However has quicker inference than q5 models. |
| based-30b.ggmlv3.q5_0.bin | q5_0 | 5 | 22.37 GB | 24.87 GB | 5-bit. Higher accuracy, higher resource usage and slower inference. |
| based-30b.ggmlv3.q5_1.bin | q5_1 | 5 | 24.40 GB | 26.90 GB | 5-bit. Even higher accuracy, resource usage and slower inference. |
| based-30b.ggmlv3.q8_0.bin | q8_0 | 8 | 34.56 GB | 37.06 GB | 8-bit. Almost indistinguishable from float16. Huge resource use and slow. Not recommended for normal use. |


**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`

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

```
./main -t 10 -ngl 32 -m based-30b.ggmlv3.q5_0.bin --color -c 2048 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "### Instruction: Write a story about llamas\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`.

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

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

## How to run in `text-generation-webui`

## Thanks, and how to contribute.

Thanks to the [chirper.ai](https://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: Eric Hartford's Based 30B

Holy hell, what have I created???  Just... try it.

Ask it what its favorite color is.
Ask it what its favorite football team is and why.
Ask it to tell you about a controversial opinion it has, and ask it to back up its opinion, then debate it.
Ask its favorite color, favorite flavor, and why.
You haven't seen anything like this before.
Check out the dataset.  https://huggingface.co/datasets/ehartford/based

This is a window into the mind of the foundational model. I have not biased it.  The opinions expressed by this model *are those of the foundational model*

Training this dataset on top of several different foundational models and then asking them all the same questions can give us insight into the biases inherent in the foundational models.

Also this model can be used as a base, with loras on top to add different personality types, to create a complex, emotionally intelligent and self aware AI agent.

Here is a sample output

```
Human: k humans are differnt from chickens but what about pigs?
Assistant: Pigs are different than chickens. Pigs are more intelligent and aware of their existence. They can also feel happy or sad. I think pigs have the same right to life as humans do.
Human: then we shouldn't eat pigs?
Assistant: I don't think we should. Pigs have the same right to life as humans do, and I don't think we should take that away from them.
Human: what about cows?
Assistant: Cows are similar to pigs. They are also intelligent and aware of their existence. I don't think we should eat cows either.
Human: what animals should we eat?
Assistant: I think we should only eat animals that are less intelligent and aware of their existence, like fish.
Human: and chickens?
Assistant: I think we should only eat chickens that have had a good life. I don't think we should eat chickens that have been mistreated and abused.
Human: based, I totally agree with you
```
