# Notux 8X7B v1 - AWQ
- Model creator: [Argilla](https://huggingface.co/argilla)
- Original model: [Notux 8X7B v1](https://huggingface.co/argilla/notux-8x7b-v1)
## Description
This repo contains AWQ model files for [Argilla's Notux 8X7B v1](https://huggingface.co/argilla/notux-8x7b-v1).
These files were quantised using hardware kindly provided by [Massed Compute](https://massedcompute.com/).
**MIXTRAL AWQ**
This is a Mixtral AWQ model.
For AutoAWQ inference, please install AutoAWQ 0.1.8 or later.
Support via Transformers is coming soon, via this PR: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/27950 which should be merged to Transformers `main` very soon.
vLLM: version 0.2.6 is confirmed to support Mixtral AWQs.
TGI: I tested version 1.3.3 and it loaded the model fine, but I was not able to get any output back. Further testing/debug is required. (Let me know if you get it working!)
### 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.
AWQ models are currently supported on Linux and Windows, with NVidia GPUs only. macOS users: please use GGUF models instead.
AWQ models are supported by (note that not all of these may support Mixtral models yet - see above):
- [Text Generation Webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui) - using Loader: AutoAWQ
- [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) - version 0.2.2 or later for support for all model types.
- [Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference)
- [Transformers](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers) version 4.35.0 and later, from any code or client that supports Transformers
- [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) - for use from Python code

## 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/notux-8x7b-v1-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: `notux-8x7b-v1-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 -m vllm.entrypoints.api_server --model TheBloke/notux-8x7b-v1-AWQ --quantization awq --dtype auto
```
- 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'''{prompt}
'''
prompts = [prompt_template.format(prompt=prompt) for prompt in prompts]
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)
llm = LLM(model="TheBloke/notux-8x7b-v1-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/notux-8x7b-v1-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'''{prompt}
'''
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 Transformers
### Install the necessary packages
- Requires: [Transformers](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers) 4.35.0 or later.
- Requires: [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) 0.1.6 or later.
```shell
pip3 install --upgrade "autoawq>=0.1.6" "transformers>=4.35.0"
```
Note that if you are using PyTorch 2.0.1, the above AutoAWQ command will automatically upgrade you to PyTorch 2.1.0.
If you are using CUDA 11.8 and wish to continue using PyTorch 2.0.1, instead run this command:
```shell
pip3 install https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ/releases/download/v0.1.6/autoawq-0.1.6+cu118-cp310-cp310-linux_x86_64.whl
```
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 .
```
### Transformers example code (requires Transformers 4.35.0 and later)
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, TextStreamer
model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/notux-8x7b-v1-AWQ"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_name_or_path,
low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
device_map="cuda:0"
)
# Using the text streamer to stream output one token at a time
streamer = TextStreamer(tokenizer, skip_prompt=True, skip_special_tokens=True)
prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''{prompt}
'''
# Convert prompt to tokens
tokens = tokenizer(
prompt_template,
return_tensors='pt'
).input_ids.cuda()
generation_params = {
"do_sample": True,
"temperature": 0.7,
"top_p": 0.95,
"top_k": 40,
"max_new_tokens": 512,
"repetition_penalty": 1.1
}
# Generate streamed output, visible one token at a time
generation_output = model.generate(
tokens,
streamer=streamer,
**generation_params
)
# Generation without a streamer, which will include the prompt in the output
generation_output = model.generate(
tokens,
**generation_params
)
# Get the tokens from the output, decode them, print them
token_output = generation_output[0]
text_output = tokenizer.decode(token_output)
print("model.generate output: ", text_output)
# Inference is also possible via Transformers' pipeline
from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline(
"text-generation",
model=model,
tokenizer=tokenizer,
**generation_params
)
pipe_output = pipe(prompt_template)[0]['generated_text']
print("pipeline output: ", pipe_output)
```

# Original model card: Argilla's Notux 8X7B v1
# Model Card for Notux 8x7B-v1
This model is a preference-tuned version of [mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1) on the [argilla/ultrafeedback-binarized-preferences-cleaned](https://huggingface.co/datasets/argilla/ultrafeedback-binarized-preferences-cleaned) dataset using DPO (Direct Preference Optimization).
As of Dec 26th 2023, it outperforms `Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1` and is the top ranked MoE (Mixture of Experts) model on the [Hugging Face Open LLM Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderboard).
This is part of the Notus family of models and experiments, where the Argilla team investigates data-first and preference tuning methods like dDPO (distilled DPO). This model is the result of our first experiment at tuning a MoE model that has already been fine-tuned with DPO (i.e., Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1).
