# Falcon-40b-Instruct (4-bit 128g AWQ Quantized)
[Falcon-40b-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b-instruct) is a 40B parameters causal decoder-only model built by [TII](https://www.tii.ae) based on [Falcon-40B](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b) and finetuned on a mixture of chat/instruct datasets.

This model is a 4-bit 128 group size AWQ quantized model. For more information about AWQ quantization, please click [here](https://github.com/mit-han-lab/llm-awq).

## Model Date

July 5, 2023

## Model License

Please refer to original Falcon model license ([link](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b-instruct)).

Please refer to the AWQ quantization license ([link](https://github.com/llm-awq/blob/main/LICENSE)).

## CUDA Version

This model was successfully tested on CUDA driver v530.30.02 and runtime v11.7 with Python v3.10.11. Please note that AWQ requires NVIDIA GPUs with compute capability of 80 or higher.

## How to Use

```bash
git clone https://github.com/mit-han-lab/llm-awq \
&& cd llm-awq \
&& git checkout 71d8e68df78de6c0c817b029a568c064bf22132d \
&& pip install -e . \
&& cd awq/kernels \
&& python setup.py install
```

```python
import torch
from awq.quantize.quantizer import real_quantize_model_weight
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoConfig, AutoTokenizer
from accelerate import init_empty_weights, load_checkpoint_and_dispatch
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download

model_name = "tiiuae/falcon-40b-instruct"

# Config
config = AutoConfig.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)

# Tokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(config.tokenizer_name)

# Model
w_bit = 4
q_config = {
    "zero_point": True,
    "q_group_size": 128,
}

load_quant = snapshot_download('abhinavkulkarni/tiiuae-falcon-40b-instruct-w4-g128-awq')

with init_empty_weights():
    model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_config(config=config, 
                                                 torch_dtype=torch.float16, trust_remote_code=True)

real_quantize_model_weight(model, w_bit=w_bit, q_config=q_config, init_only=True)

model = load_checkpoint_and_dispatch(model, load_quant, device_map="balanced")

# Inference
prompt = f'''What is the difference between nuclear fusion and fission?
###Response:'''

input_ids = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors='pt').input_ids.cuda()
output = model.generate(
    inputs=input_ids, 
    temperature=0.7,
    max_new_tokens=512,
    top_p=0.15,
    top_k=0,
    repetition_penalty=1.1,
    eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id
)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
