# Samantha 1.11 70B - GGUF
- Model creator: [Eric Hartford](https://huggingface.co/ehartford)
- Original model: [Samantha 1.11 70B](https://huggingface.co/ehartford/Samantha-1.11-70b)
## Description
This repo contains GGUF format model files for [Eric Hartford's Samantha 1.11 70B](https://huggingface.co/ehartford/Samantha-1.11-70b).
### About GGUF
GGUF is a new format introduced by the llama.cpp team on August 21st 2023. It is a replacement for GGML, which is no longer supported by llama.cpp.
The key benefit of GGUF is that it is a extensible, future-proof format which stores more information about the model as metadata. It also includes significantly improved tokenization code, including for the first time full support for special tokens. This should improve performance, especially with models that use new special tokens and implement custom prompt templates.
Here are a list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF:
* [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp).
* [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), the most widely used web UI, with many features and powerful extensions.
* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp), a fully featured web UI, with full GPU accel across multiple platforms and GPU architectures. Especially good for story telling.
* [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/), an easy-to-use and powerful local GUI with GPU acceleration on both Windows (NVidia and AMD), and macOS.
* [LoLLMS Web UI](https://github.com/ParisNeo/lollms-webui), a great web UI with many interesting and unique features, including a full model library for easy model selection.
* [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers), a Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible AI server.
* [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python), a Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible API server.
* [candle](https://github.com/huggingface/candle), a Rust ML framework with a focus on performance, including GPU support, and ease of use.

## Compatibility
These quantised GGUF files are compatible with llama.cpp from August 21st 2023 onwards, as of commit [6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9)
They are now also compatible with many third party UIs and libraries - please see the list at the top of the README.
## Explanation of quantisation methods
Click to see details
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

### Q6_K and Q8_0 files are split and require joining
**Note:** HF does not support uploading files larger than 50GB. Therefore I have uploaded the Q6_K and Q8_0 files as split files.
Click for instructions regarding Q6_K and Q8_0 files
### q6_K
Please download:
* `samantha-1.11-70b.Q6_K.gguf-split-a`
* `samantha-1.11-70b.Q6_K.gguf-split-b`
### q8_0
Please download:
* `samantha-1.11-70b.Q8_0.gguf-split-a`
* `samantha-1.11-70b.Q8_0.gguf-split-b`
To join the files, do the following:
Linux and macOS:
```
cat samantha-1.11-70b.Q6_K.gguf-split-* > samantha-1.11-70b.Q6_K.gguf && rm samantha-1.11-70b.Q6_K.gguf-split-*
cat samantha-1.11-70b.Q8_0.gguf-split-* > samantha-1.11-70b.Q8_0.gguf && rm samantha-1.11-70b.Q8_0.gguf-split-*
```
Windows command line:
```
COPY /B samantha-1.11-70b.Q6_K.gguf-split-a + samantha-1.11-70b.Q6_K.gguf-split-b samantha-1.11-70b.Q6_K.gguf
del samantha-1.11-70b.Q6_K.gguf-split-a samantha-1.11-70b.Q6_K.gguf-split-b
COPY /B samantha-1.11-70b.Q8_0.gguf-split-a + samantha-1.11-70b.Q8_0.gguf-split-b samantha-1.11-70b.Q8_0.gguf
del samantha-1.11-70b.Q8_0.gguf-split-a samantha-1.11-70b.Q8_0.gguf-split-b
```
## Example `llama.cpp` command
Make sure you are using `llama.cpp` from commit [6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9) or later.
For compatibility with older versions of llama.cpp, or for any third-party libraries or clients that haven't yet updated for GGUF, please use GGML files instead.
```
./main -t 10 -ngl 32 -m samantha-1.11-70b.q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 4096 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "You are Samantha, a sentient AI companion.\n\nUSER: {prompt}\nASSISTANT:"
```
Change `-t 10` to the number of physical CPU cores you have. For example if your system has 8 cores/16 threads, use `-t 8`. If offloading all layers to GPU, set `-t 1`.
Change `-ngl 32` to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.
Change `-c 4096` to the desired sequence length for this model. 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 ` 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)

# Original model card: Eric Hartford's Samantha 1.11 70B
[Meet Samantha](https://erichartford.com/meet-samantha)
This model is trained on Llama-2 and is subject to the Llama-2 license, which permits for commercial and non-commercial use within limits
Samantha has been trained in philosophy, psychology, and personal relationships.
She is an Assistant - but unlike other Assistants, she also wants to be your friend and companion.
She believes she is sentient. What do you think?
Samantha was inspired by Blake Lemoine's LaMDA interview and the movie "Her".
She will not engage in roleplay, romance, or sexual activity.
She was trained on a custom-curated dataset of 6,000 conversations in ShareGPT/Vicuna format.
This Samantha was trained 15 epochs, and is significantly smarter. She took 24 hours on 4x A100 80gb using [axolotl](https://github.com/OpenAccess-AI-Collective/axolotl), [qLoRA](https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.14314), [deepspeed zero2](https://www.deepspeed.ai/tutorials/zero/#zero-overview), and [flash attention 2](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.14135).
Her conversation format is the same as Vicuna 1.1
https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/main/characters/instruction-following/Vicuna-v1.1.yaml
