# Open Assistant's Falcon 40B SFT MIX GGML
These files are GGCC format model files for [Open Assistant's Falcon 40B SFT MIX](https://huggingface.co/OpenAssistant/falcon-40b-sft-mix-1226).
These files will **not** work in llama.cpp, text-generation-webui or KoboldCpp.
GGCC is a new format created in a new fork of llama.cpp that introduced this new Falcon GGML-based support: [cmp-nc/ggllm.cpp](https://github.com/cmp-nct/ggllm.cpp).
Currently these files will also not work with code that previously supported Falcon, such as LoLLMs Web UI and ctransformers. But support should be added soon.
## Repositories available
* [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8-bit GGCC models for CPU+GPU inference](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/falcon-40b-sft-mix-1226-GGML)
* [Unquantised fp16 model in pytorch format, for GPU inference and for further conversions](https://huggingface.co/OpenAssistant/falcon-40b-sft-mix-1226)
## Prompt template
```
<|prompter|>prompt<|endoftext|><|assistant|>
```
## Compatibility
To build cmp-nct's fork of llama.cpp with Falcon support plus CUDA acceleration, please try the following steps:
```
git clone https://github.com/cmp-nct/ggllm.cpp
cd ggllm.cpp
rm -rf build && mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DGGML_CUBLAS=1 .. && cmake --build . --config Release
```
Compiling on Windows: developer cmp-nct notes: 'I personally compile it using VScode. When compiling with CUDA support using the Microsoft compiler it's essential to select the "Community edition build tools". Otherwise CUDA won't compile.'
Once compiled you can then use `bin/falcon_main` just like you would use llama.cpp. For example:
```
bin/falcon_main -t 8 -ngl 100 -b 1 -m falcon-40b-sft-mix-1226.ggccv1.q4_K.bin -p "<|prompter|>write a story about llamas<|endoftext|><|assistant|>"
```
You can specify `-ngl 100` regardles of your VRAM, as it will automatically detect how much VRAM is available to be used.
Adjust `-t 8` (the number of CPU cores to use) according to what performs best on your system. Do not exceed the number of physical CPU cores you have.
`-b 1` reduces batch size to 1. This slightly lowers prompt evaluation time, but frees up VRAM to load more of the model on to your GPU. If you find prompt evaluation too slow and have enough spare VRAM, you can remove this parameter.
Please see https://github.com/cmp-nct/ggllm.cpp for further details and instructions.

**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.

## Prompting
Two special tokens are used to mark the beginning of user and assistant turns:
`<|prompter|>` and `<|assistant|>`. Each turn ends with a `<|endoftext|>` token.
Input prompt example:
```
<|prompter|>What is a meme, and what's the history behind this word?<|endoftext|><|assistant|>
```
The input ends with the `<|assistant|>` token to signal that the model should
start generating the assistant reply.
