Bling Stable LM 3B 4E1T V0 - GPTQ

Model creator: llmware
Original model: Bling Stable LM 3B 4E1T V0

Description

This repo contains GPTQ model files for llmware's Bling Stable LM 3B 4E1T V0.

Multiple GPTQ parameter permutations are provided; see Provided Files below for details of the options provided, their parameters, and the software used to create them.

These files were quantised using hardware kindly provided by Massed Compute.

Repositories available

Prompt template: human-bot

Known compatible clients / servers

GPTQ models are currently supported on Linux (NVidia/AMD) and Windows (NVidia only). macOS users: please use GGUF models.

These GPTQ models are known to work in the following inference servers/webuis.

This may not be a complete list; if you know of others, please let me know!

Provided files, and GPTQ parameters

Multiple quantisation parameters are provided, to allow you to choose the best one for your hardware and requirements.

Each separate quant is in a different branch. See below for instructions on fetching from different branches.

Most GPTQ files are made with AutoGPTQ. Mistral models are currently made with Transformers.

Explanation of GPTQ parameters

Bits: The bit size of the quantised model.
GS: GPTQ group size. Higher numbers use less VRAM, but have lower quantisation accuracy. "None" is the lowest possible value.
Act Order: True or False. Also known as desc_act. True results in better quantisation accuracy. Some GPTQ clients have had issues with models that use Act Order plus Group Size, but this is generally resolved now.
Damp %: A GPTQ parameter that affects how samples are processed for quantisation. 0.01 is default, but 0.1 results in slightly better accuracy.
GPTQ dataset: The calibration dataset used during quantisation. Using a dataset more appropriate to the model's training can improve quantisation accuracy. Note that the GPTQ calibration dataset is not the same as the dataset used to train the model - please refer to the original model repo for details of the training dataset(s).
Sequence Length: The length of the dataset sequences used for quantisation. Ideally this is the same as the model sequence length. For some very long sequence models (16+K), a lower sequence length may have to be used. Note that a lower sequence length does not limit the sequence length of the quantised model. It only impacts the quantisation accuracy on longer inference sequences.
ExLlama Compatibility: Whether this file can be loaded with ExLlama, which currently only supports Llama and Mistral models in 4-bit.

How to download, including from branches

In text-generation-webui

To download from the main branch, enter TheBloke/bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0-GPTQ in the "Download model" box.

To download from another branch, add :branchname to the end of the download name, eg TheBloke/bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0-GPTQ:gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True

From the command line

I recommend using the huggingface-hub Python library:

pip3 install huggingface-hub

To download the main branch to a folder called bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0-GPTQ:

mkdir bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0-GPTQ --local-dir bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False

To download from a different branch, add the --revision parameter:

mkdir bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0-GPTQ --revision gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True --local-dir bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False

More advanced huggingface-cli download usage

If you remove the --local-dir-use-symlinks False parameter, the files will instead be stored in the central Hugging Face cache directory (default location on Linux is: ~/.cache/huggingface), and symlinks will be added to the specified --local-dir, pointing to their real location in the cache. This allows for interrupted downloads to be resumed, and allows you to quickly clone the repo to multiple places on disk without triggering a download again. The downside, and the reason why I don't list that as the default option, is that the files are then hidden away in a cache folder and it's harder to know where your disk space is being used, and to clear it up if/when you want to remove a download model.

The cache location can be changed with the HF_HOME environment variable, and/or the --cache-dir parameter to huggingface-cli.

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 hf_transfer

And set environment variable HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER to 1:

mkdir bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0-GPTQ
HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0-GPTQ --local-dir bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0-GPTQ --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.

With `git` (not recommended)

To clone a specific branch with git, use a command like this:

git clone --single-branch --branch gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0-GPTQ

Note that using Git with HF repos is strongly discouraged. It will be much slower than using huggingface-hub, and will use twice as much disk space as it has to store the model files twice (it stores every byte both in the intended target folder, and again in the .git folder as a blob.)

How to easily download and use this model in text-generation-webui

Please make sure you're using the latest version of 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.

Click the Model tab.
Under Download custom model or LoRA, enter TheBloke/bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0-GPTQ.
- To download from a specific branch, enter for example TheBloke/bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0-GPTQ:gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True
- see Provided Files above for the list of branches for each option.
Click Download.
The model will start downloading. Once it's finished it will say "Done".
In the top left, click the refresh icon next to Model.
In the Model dropdown, choose the model you just downloaded: bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0-GPTQ
The model will automatically load, and is now ready for use!
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.
- Note that you do not need to and should not set manual GPTQ parameters any more. These are set automatically from the file quantize_config.json.
Once you're ready, click the Text Generation tab and enter a prompt to get started!

pip3 install --upgrade auto-gptq
# or, if using PyTorch 2.1 + CUDA 11.x:
pip3 install --upgrade auto-gptq --extra-index-url https://huggingface.github.io/autogptq-index/whl/cu118/

If you are using PyTorch 2.0, you will need to install AutoGPTQ from source. Likewise if you have problems with the pre-built wheels, you should try building from source:

pip3 uninstall -y auto-gptq
git clone https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ
cd AutoGPTQ
git checkout v0.5.1
pip3 install .

Example Python code

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, pipeline

model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-v0-GPTQ"
# To use a different branch, change revision
# For example: revision="gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path,
                                             device_map="auto",
                                             trust_remote_code=True,
                                             revision="main")

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, use_fast=True)

prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''<human>: {prompt}
<bot>:
'''

print("\n\n*** Generate:")

input_ids = tokenizer(prompt_template, return_tensors='pt').input_ids.cuda()
output = model.generate(inputs=input_ids, temperature=0.7, do_sample=True, top_p=0.95, top_k=40, max_new_tokens=512)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0]))

# Inference can also be done using transformers' pipeline

Model Card for Model ID

bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-0.1 part of the BLING ("Best Little Instruction-following No-GPU-required") model series, RAG-instruct trained on top of a StabilityAI stablelm-3b-4e1t base model.

BLING models are fine-tuned with distilled high-quality custom instruct datasets, targeted at a specific subset of instruct tasks with the objective of providing a high-quality Instruct model that is 'inference-ready' on a CPU laptop even without using any advanced quantization optimizations.

Benchmark Tests

Evaluated against the benchmark test: RAG-Instruct-Benchmark-Tester
Average of 2 Test Runs with 1 point for correct answer, 0.5 point for partial correct or blank / NF, 0.0 points for incorrect, and -1 points for hallucinations.

--Accuracy Score: 94.0 correct out of 100
--Not Found Classification: 67.5%
--Boolean: 77.5%
--Math/Logic: 29%
--Complex Questions (1-5): 3 (Low)
--Summarization Quality (1-5): 3 (Coherent, extractive)
--Hallucinations: No hallucinations observed in test runs.

For test run results (and good indicator of target use cases), please see the files ("core_rag_test" and "answer_sheet" in this repo).

Model Description

Developed by: llmware
Model type: Instruct-trained decoder
Language(s) (NLP): English
License: CC BY-SA-4.0
Finetuned from model: stabilityai/stablelm-3b-4e1t

Uses

The intended use of BLING models is two-fold:

Provide high-quality Instruct models that can run on a laptop for local testing. We have found it extremely useful when building a proof-of-concept, or working with sensitive enterprise data that must be closely guarded, especially in RAG use cases.
Push the state of the art for smaller Instruct-following models in the sub-7B parameter range, especially 1B-3B, as single-purpose automation tools for specific tasks through targeted fine-tuning datasets and focused "instruction" tasks.

Direct Use

BLING is designed for enterprise automation use cases, especially in knowledge-intensive industries, such as financial services, legal and regulatory industries with complex information sources. Rather than try to be "all things to all people," BLING models try to focus on a narrower set of Instructions more suitable to a ~1-3B parameter GPT model.

BLING is ideal for rapid prototyping, testing, and the ability to perform an end-to-end workflow locally on a laptop without having to send sensitive information over an Internet-based API.

The first BLING models have been trained for common RAG scenarios, specifically: question-answering, key-value extraction, and basic summarization as the core instruction types without the need for a lot of complex instruction verbiage - provide a text passage context, ask questions, and get clear fact-based responses.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Any model can provide inaccurate or incomplete information, and should be used in conjunction with appropriate safeguards and fact-checking mechanisms.

How to Get Started with the Model

The fastest way to get started with BLING is through direct import in transformers:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM  
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("llmware/bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-0.1")  
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("llmware/bling-stable-lm-3b-4e1t-0.1")

Please refer to the generation_test .py files in the Files repository, which includes 200 samples and script to test the model. The generation_test_llmware_script.py includes built-in llmware capabilities for fact-checking, as well as easy integration with document parsing and actual retrieval to swap out the test set for RAG workflow consisting of business documents.

The BLING model was fine-tuned with a simple "<human> and <bot> wrapper", so to get the best results, wrap inference entries as:

full_prompt = "<human>: " + my_prompt + "\n" + "<bot>:"

The BLING model was fine-tuned with closed-context samples, which assume generally that the prompt consists of two sub-parts:

Text Passage Context, and
Specific question or instruction based on the text passage

To get the best results, package "my_prompt" as follows:

my_prompt = {{text_passage}} + "\n" + {{question/instruction}}

If you are using a HuggingFace generation script:

# prepare prompt packaging used in fine-tuning process
new_prompt = "<human>: " + entries["context"] + "\n" + entries["query"] + "\n" + "<bot>:"

inputs = tokenizer(new_prompt, return_tensors="pt")  
start_of_output = len(inputs.input_ids[0])

#   temperature: set at 0.3 for consistency of output
#   max_new_tokens:  set at 100 - may prematurely stop a few of the summaries

outputs = model.generate(
        inputs.input_ids.to(device),
        eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
        pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
        do_sample=True,
        temperature=0.3,
        max_new_tokens=100,
        )

output_only = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][start_of_output:],skip_special_tokens=True)
