Triangle104/granite-3.0-8b-instruct-Q4_K_M-GGUF

This model was converted to GGUF format from ibm-granite/granite-3.0-8b-instruct using llama.cpp via the ggml.ai's GGUF-my-repo space. Refer to the original model card for more details on the model.

Model Summary: Granite-3.0-8B-Instruct is a 8B parameter model finetuned from Granite-3.0-8B-Base using a combination of open source instruction datasets with permissive license and internally collected synthetic datasets. This model is developed using a diverse set of techniques with a structured chat format, including supervised finetuning, model alignment using reinforcement learning, and model merging.

Generation: This is a simple example of how to use Granite-3.0-8B-Instruct model.

Install the following libraries:

pip install torch torchvision torchaudio pip install accelerate pip install transformers

Then, copy the snippet from the section that is relevant for your use case.

import torch from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

device = "auto" model_path = "ibm-granite/granite-3.0-8b-instruct" tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)

drop device_map if running on CPU

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_path, device_map=device) model.eval()

change input text as desired

chat = [ { "role": "user", "content": "Please list one IBM Research laboratory located in the United States. You should only output its name and location." }, ] chat = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)

tokenize the text

input_tokens = tokenizer(chat, return_tensors="pt").to(device)

generate output tokens

output = model.generate(**input_tokens, max_new_tokens=100)

decode output tokens into text

output = tokenizer.batch_decode(output)

print output

print(output)

Model Architecture: Granite-3.0-8B-Instruct is based on a decoder-only dense transformer architecture. Core components of this architecture are: GQA and RoPE, MLP with SwiGLU, RMSNorm, and shared input/output embeddings.

Training Data: Overall, our SFT data is largely comprised of three key sources: (1) publicly available datasets with permissive license, (2) internal synthetic data targeting specific capabilities, and (3) very small amounts of human-curated data. A detailed attribution of datasets can be found in the Granite Technical Report and Accompanying Author List.

Infrastructure: We train Granite 3.0 Language Models using IBM's super computing cluster, Blue Vela, which is outfitted with NVIDIA H100 GPUs. This cluster provides a scalable and efficient infrastructure for training our models over thousands of GPUs while minimizing environmental impact by utilizing 100% renewable energy sources.

Ethical Considerations and Limitations: Granite 3.0 Instruct Models are primarily finetuned using instruction-response pairs mostly in English, but also multilingual data covering eleven languages. Although this model can handle multilingual dialog use cases, its performance might not be similar to English tasks. In such case, introducing a small number of examples (few-shot) can help the model in generating more accurate outputs. While this model has been aligned by keeping safety in consideration, the model may in some cases produce inaccurate, biased, or unsafe responses to user prompts. So we urge the community to use this model with proper safety testing and tuning tailored for their specific tasks.

Use with llama.cpp

Install llama.cpp through brew (works on Mac and Linux)

brew install llama.cpp

Invoke the llama.cpp server or the CLI.

CLI:

llama-cli --hf-repo Triangle104/granite-3.0-8b-instruct-Q4_K_M-GGUF --hf-file granite-3.0-8b-instruct-q4_k_m.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"

Server:

llama-server --hf-repo Triangle104/granite-3.0-8b-instruct-Q4_K_M-GGUF --hf-file granite-3.0-8b-instruct-q4_k_m.gguf -c 2048

Note: You can also use this checkpoint directly through the usage steps listed in the Llama.cpp repo as well.

Step 1: Clone llama.cpp from GitHub.

git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp

Step 2: Move into the llama.cpp folder and build it with LLAMA_CURL=1 flag along with other hardware-specific flags (for ex: LLAMA_CUDA=1 for Nvidia GPUs on Linux).

cd llama.cpp && LLAMA_CURL=1 make

Step 3: Run inference through the main binary.

./llama-cli --hf-repo Triangle104/granite-3.0-8b-instruct-Q4_K_M-GGUF --hf-file granite-3.0-8b-instruct-q4_k_m.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"

or

./llama-server --hf-repo Triangle104/granite-3.0-8b-instruct-Q4_K_M-GGUF --hf-file granite-3.0-8b-instruct-q4_k_m.gguf -c 2048
