This is achieved by employing a fallback solution for model layers that cannot be accurately quantized with K-quants. For Falcon 7B models, although only a quarter of the layers can be quantized with true K-quants, this approach still benefits from utilizing various legacy quantization types, such as Q4_0, Q4_1, Q5_0, and Q5_1. As a result, it offers better quality at the same file size or smaller file sizes with comparable performance. So this solution ensures improved performance and efficiency over legacy Q4_0, Q4_1, Q5_0 and Q5_1 Quantizations. # Important Update for Falcon Models in llama.cpp Versions After October 18, 2023 As previously noted on the [Llama.cpp GitHub repository](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp#hot-topics), all new Llama.cpp releases after October 18, 2023, required re-quantization due to the implementation of the new BPE tokenizer. **Update:** The re-quantization process for Falcon Models is now complete, and the latest quantized models are available for download. To ensure continued compatibility with recent llama.cpp software, You need to update your Falcon models. **Key Points:** - **Stay Informed:** Keep an eye on software application release schedules using llama.cpp libraries. - **Monitor Upload Times:** Re-quantization is complete. Watch for updates on my Hugging Face Model pages. This change primarily affects **Falcon** and **Starcoder** models, with other models remaining unaffected. If you haven't already, please update your Falcon models for seamless compatibility with the latest llama.cpp versions. --- # Brief Tiiuae-Falcon 7B instruct is the original instruction following Falcon model from Tiiuae, converted to gguf format. --- # About GGUF format `gguf` is the current file format used by the [`ggml`](https://github.com/ggerganov/ggml) library. A growing list of Software is using it and can therefore use this model. The core project making use of the ggml library is the [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) project by Georgi Gerganov # Quantization variants There is a bunch of quantized files available to cater to your specific needs. Here's how to choose the best option for you: # Legacy quants Q4_0, Q4_1, Q5_0, Q5_1 and Q8 are `legacy` quantization types. Nevertheless, they are fully supported, as there are several circumstances that cause certain model not to be compatible with the modern K-quants. ## Note: Now there's a new option to use K-quants even for previously 'incompatible' models, although this involves some fallback solution that makes them not *real* K-quants. More details can be found in affected model descriptions. (This mainly refers to Falcon 7b and Starcoder models) # K-quants K-quants are designed with the idea that different levels of quantization in specific parts of the model can optimize performance, file size, and memory load. So, if possible, use K-quants. With a Q6_K, you'll likely find it challenging to discern a quality difference from the original model - ask your model two times the same question and you may encounter bigger quality differences. --- # Original Model Card: # ✨ Falcon-7B-Instruct **Falcon-7B-Instruct is a 7B parameters causal decoder-only model built by [TII](https://www.tii.ae) based on [Falcon-7B](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b) and finetuned on a mixture of chat/instruct datasets.
