## Compatibility

These quantised GGUFv2 files are compatible with llama.cpp from August 27th onwards, as of commit [d0cee0d](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/d0cee0d36d5be95a0d9088b674dbb27354107221)

They are also compatible with many third party UIs and libraries - please see the list at the top of this README.

## Explanation of quantisation methods

<details>
  <summary>Click to see details</summary>

The new methods available are:

* GGML_TYPE_Q2_K - "type-1" 2-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 16 blocks, each block having 16 weight. Block scales and mins are quantized with 4 bits. This ends up effectively using 2.5625 bits per weight (bpw)
* GGML_TYPE_Q3_K - "type-0" 3-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 6 bits. This end up using 3.4375 bpw.
* GGML_TYPE_Q4_K - "type-1" 4-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 8 blocks, each block having 32 weights. Scales and mins are quantized with 6 bits. This ends up using 4.5 bpw.
* GGML_TYPE_Q5_K - "type-1" 5-bit quantization. Same super-block structure as GGML_TYPE_Q4_K resulting in 5.5 bpw
* GGML_TYPE_Q6_K - "type-0" 6-bit quantization. Super-blocks with 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 8 bits. This ends up using 6.5625 bpw

## How to download GGUF files

**Note for manual downloaders:** You almost never want to clone the entire repo! Multiple different quantisation formats are provided, and most users only want to pick and download a single file.

The following clients/libraries will automatically download models for you, providing a list of available models to choose from:

* LM Studio
* LoLLMS Web UI
* Faraday.dev

### In `text-generation-webui`

Under Download Model, you can enter the model repo: TheBloke/Chupacabra-7B-v2-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: chupacabra-7b-v2.Q4_K_M.gguf.

Then click Download.

### On the command line, including multiple files at once

I recommend using the `huggingface-hub` Python library:

```shell
pip3 install huggingface-hub
```

Then you can download any individual model file to the current directory, at high speed, with a command like this:

```shell
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Chupacabra-7B-v2-GGUF chupacabra-7b-v2.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```

<details>
  <summary>More advanced huggingface-cli download usage</summary>

You can also download multiple files at once with a pattern:

```shell
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Chupacabra-7B-v2-GGUF --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False --include='*Q4_K*gguf'
```

For more documentation on downloading with `huggingface-cli`, please see: [HF -> Hub Python Library -> Download files -> Download from the CLI](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/guides/download#download-from-the-cli).

To accelerate downloads on fast connections (1Gbit/s or higher), install `hf_transfer`:

```shell
pip3 install hf_transfer
```

And set environment variable `HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER` to `1`:

```shell
HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Chupacabra-7B-v2-GGUF chupacabra-7b-v2.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```

Windows Command Line users: You can set the environment variable by running `set HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1` before the download command.
</details>
<!-- README_GGUF.md-how-to-download end -->

<!-- README_GGUF.md-how-to-run start -->
## Example `llama.cpp` command

Make sure you are using `llama.cpp` from commit [d0cee0d](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/d0cee0d36d5be95a0d9088b674dbb27354107221) or later.

```shell
./main -ngl 32 -m chupacabra-7b-v2.Q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 2048 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "### System:\n{system_message}\n\n### User:\n{prompt}\n\n### Assistant:"
```

Change `-ngl 32` to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.

Change `-c 2048` to the desired sequence length. For extended sequence models - eg 8K, 16K, 32K - the necessary RoPE scaling parameters are read from the GGUF file and set by llama.cpp automatically.

If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the `-p <PROMPT>` argument with `-i -ins`

For other parameters and how to use them, please refer to [the llama.cpp documentation](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/examples/main/README.md)

## How to run in `text-generation-webui`

Further instructions can be found in the text-generation-webui documentation, here: [text-generation-webui/docs/04 ‐ Model Tab.md](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/main/docs/04%20%E2%80%90%20Model%20Tab.md#llamacpp).

## How to run from Python code

You can use GGUF models from Python using the [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python) or [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers) libraries.

### How to load this model in Python code, using ctransformers

#### First install the package

Run one of the following commands, according to your system:

```shell
# Base ctransformers with no GPU acceleration
pip install ctransformers
# Or with CUDA GPU acceleration
pip install ctransformers[cuda]
# Or with AMD ROCm GPU acceleration (Linux only)
CT_HIPBLAS=1 pip install ctransformers --no-binary ctransformers
# Or with Metal GPU acceleration for macOS systems only
CT_METAL=1 pip install ctransformers --no-binary ctransformers
```

#### Simple ctransformers example code

```python
from ctransformers import AutoModelForCausalLM

# Set gpu_layers to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Set to 0 if no GPU acceleration is available on your system.
llm = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("TheBloke/Chupacabra-7B-v2-GGUF", model_file="chupacabra-7b-v2.Q4_K_M.gguf", model_type="mistral", gpu_layers=50)

print(llm("AI is going to"))
```

### Model Description

This model was made by merging models based on Mistral with the SLERP merge method.

Advantages of SLERP vs averaging weights(common) are as follows:

- Spherical Linear Interpolation (SLERP) - Traditionally, model merging often resorts to weight averaging which, although straightforward, might not always capture the intricate features of the models being merged. The SLERP technique addresses this limitation, producing a blended model with characteristics smoothly interpolated from both parent models, ensuring the resultant model captures the essence of both its parents.

- Smooth Transitions - SLERP ensures smoother transitions between model parameters. This is especially significant when interpolating between high-dimensional vectors.

- Better Preservation of Characteristics - Unlike weight averaging, which might dilute distinct features, SLERP preserves the curvature and characteristics of both models in high-dimensional spaces.

- Nuanced Blending - SLERP takes into account the geometric and rotational properties of the models in the vector space, resulting in a blend that is more reflective of both parent models' characteristics.

List of all models and merging path is coming soon.

## Purpose

Merging the "thick"est model weights from mistral models using amazing training methods like direct preference optimization (dpo) and reinforced learning.

I have spent countless hours studying the latest research papers, attending conferences, and networking with experts in the field. I experimented with different algorithms, tactics, fine-tuned hyperparameters, optimizers,
and optimized code until i achieved the best possible results.

It has not been without challenges. there were skeptics who doubted my abilities and questioned my approach. approach can be changed, but a closed mind cannot.

I refused to let their negativity bring me down. Instead, I used their doubts as fuel to push myself even harder. I worked tirelessly (vapenation), day and night, until i finally succeeded in merging with the most performant model weights using sota training methods like dpo and other advanced techniques.

Thank you openchat 3.5 for showing me the way.

I stand tall as a beacon of hope for those who dare to dream big and pursue their passions. my story is a testament to the power of perseverance, determination, and hard work. and i will continue to strive for excellence, always pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

Here is my contribution.
