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

| Branch | Bits | Group Size | Act Order (desc_act) | File Size | ExLlama Compatible? | Made With | Description |
| ------ | ---- | ---------- | -------------------- | --------- | ------------------- | --------- | ----------- |
| main | 4 | 128 | False | 7.26 GB | True | AutoGPTQ | Most compatible option. Good inference speed in AutoGPTQ and GPTQ-for-LLaMa. Lower inference quality than other options. | 
| gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True | 4 | 32 | True | 8.00 GB | True | AutoGPTQ | 4-bit, with Act Order and group size. 32g gives highest possible inference quality, with maximum VRAM usage. Poor AutoGPTQ CUDA speed. | 
| gptq-4bit-64g-actorder_True | 4 | 64 | True | 7.51 GB | True | AutoGPTQ | 4-bit, with Act Order and group size. 64g uses less VRAM than 32g, but with slightly lower accuracy. Poor AutoGPTQ CUDA speed. | 
| gptq-4bit-128g-actorder_True | 4 | 128 | True | 7.26 GB | True | AutoGPTQ | 4-bit, with Act Order and group size. 128g uses even less VRAM, but with slightly lower accuracy. Poor AutoGPTQ CUDA speed. | 
| gptq-8bit-128g-actorder_True | 8 | 128 | True | 13.65 GB | False | AutoGPTQ | 8-bit, with group size 128g for higher inference quality and with Act Order for even higher accuracy. Poor AutoGPTQ CUDA speed. | 
| gptq-8bit-64g-actorder_True | 8 | 64 | True | 13.95 GB | False | AutoGPTQ | 8-bit, with group size 64g and Act Order for maximum inference quality. Poor AutoGPTQ CUDA speed. | 
| gptq-8bit-128g-actorder_False | 8 | 128 | False | 13.65 GB | False | AutoGPTQ | 8-bit, with group size 128g for higher inference quality and without Act Order to improve AutoGPTQ speed. | 
| gptq-8bit--1g-actorder_True | 8 | None | True | 13.36 GB | False | AutoGPTQ | 8-bit, with Act Order. No group size, to lower VRAM requirements and to improve AutoGPTQ speed. |

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

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

# Inference can also be done using transformers' pipeline

# Prevent printing spurious transformers error when using pipeline with AutoGPTQ
logging.set_verbosity(logging.CRITICAL)

print("*** Pipeline:")
pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model,
    tokenizer=tokenizer,
    max_new_tokens=512,
    temperature=0.7,
    top_p=0.95,

# Original model card: Nous Research's Nous Hermes Llama 2 13B


# Model Card: Nous-Hermes-Llama2-13b

Compute provided by our project sponsor Redmond AI, thank you! Follow RedmondAI on Twitter @RedmondAI.

## Model Description

Nous-Hermes-Llama2-13b is a state-of-the-art language model fine-tuned on over 300,000 instructions. This model was fine-tuned by Nous Research, with Teknium and Emozilla leading the fine tuning process and dataset curation, Redmond AI sponsoring the compute, and several other contributors.

This Hermes model uses the exact same dataset as Hermes on Llama-1. This is to ensure consistency between the old Hermes and new, for anyone who wanted to keep Hermes as similar to the old one, just more capable.

This model stands out for its long responses, lower hallucination rate, and absence of OpenAI censorship mechanisms. The fine-tuning process was performed with a 4096 sequence length on an 8x a100 80GB DGX machine.

## Example Outputs:
![Example4](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Nous-Hermes-Llama2-13b/resolve/main/example5.png "Example 4")
![Example1](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Nous-Hermes-Llama2-13b/resolve/main/Example1.png "Example 1")
![Example2](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Nous-Hermes-Llama2-13b/resolve/main/example2.png "Example 2")
![Example3](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Nous-Hermes-Llama2-13b/resolve/main/example3.png "Example 3")

## Model Training

The model was trained almost entirely on synthetic GPT-4 outputs. Curating high quality GPT-4 datasets enables incredibly high quality in knowledge, task completion, and style.

This includes data from diverse sources such as GPTeacher, the general, roleplay v1&2, code instruct datasets, Nous Instruct & PDACTL (unpublished), and several others, detailed further below

## Collaborators
The model fine-tuning and the datasets were a collaboration of efforts and resources between Teknium, Karan4D, Emozilla, Huemin Art, and Redmond AI. 
  
Special mention goes to @winglian for assisting in some of the training issues.

Huge shoutout and acknowledgement is deserved for all the dataset creators who generously share their datasets openly. 

Among the contributors of datasets:
- GPTeacher was made available by Teknium
- Wizard LM by nlpxucan
- Nous Research Instruct Dataset was provided by Karan4D and HueminArt.  
- GPT4-LLM and Unnatural Instructions were provided by Microsoft
- Airoboros dataset by jondurbin
- Camel-AI's domain expert datasets are from Camel-AI
- CodeAlpaca dataset by Sahil 2801.
