StableLM-3B-4E1T

Model Creator: Stability AI
original Model: StableLM-3B-4E1T

Description

This repository contains the most relevant quantizations of Stability AI's StableLM-3B-4E1T model in GGUF format - ready to be used with llama.cpp and similar applications.

About StableLM-3B-4E1T

Stability AI claims: "StableLM-3B-4E1T achieves state-of-the-art performance (September 2023) at the 3B parameter scale for open-source models and is competitive with many of the popular contemporary 7B models, even outperforming our most recent 7B StableLM-Base-Alpha-v2."

According to them "The model is intended to be used as a foundational base model for application-specific fine-tuning. Developers must evaluate and fine-tune the model for safe performance in downstream applications."

Files

Right now, the following quantizations are available:

These files are presented here with the written permission of Stability AI (although access to the model itself is still "gated").

Usage Details

Any technical details can be found on the original model card and in a paper on StableLM-3B-4E1T. The most important ones for using this model are

context length is 4096
there does not seem to be a specific prompt structure - just provide the text you want to be completed

Text Completion with LLaMA.cpp

For simple inferencing, use a command similar to

./main -m stablelm-3b-4e1t-Q8_0.bin --temp 0 --top-k 4 --prompt "who was Joseph Weizenbaum?"

Text Tokenization with LLaMA.cpp

To get a list of tokens, use a command similar to

./tokenization -m stablelm-3b-4e1t-Q8_0.bin --prompt "who was Joseph Weizenbaum?"

Embeddings Calculation with LLaMA.cpp

Text embeddings are calculated with a command similar to

./embedding -m stablelm-3b-4e1t-Q8_0.bin --prompt "who was Joseph Weizenbaum?"

Conversion Details

Conversion was done using a Docker container based on python:3.10.13-slim-bookworm

After downloading the original model files into a separate directory, the container was started with

docker run --interactive \
  --mount type=bind,src=<local-folder>,dst=/llm \
  python:3.10.13-slim-bookworm

where <local-folder> was the path to the folder containing the downloaded model.

Within the container's terminal, the following commands were issued:

apt-get update
apt-get install build-essential git -y

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

## Important: uncomment the make command that fits to your host computer!
## on Apple Silicon machines: (see https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues/1655)
# UNAME_M=arm64 UNAME_p=arm LLAMA_NO_METAL=1 make
## otherwise
# make

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install torch transformers

# see https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues/3344
python3 convert-hf-to-gguf.py /llm
mv /llm/ggml-model-f16.gguf /llm/stablelm-3b-4e1t.gguf

# the following command is just an example, modify it as needed
./quantize /llm/stablelm-3b-4e1t.gguf /llm/stablelm-3b-4e1t_Q3_K_M.gguf q3_k_m

After conversion, the mounted folder (the one that originally contained the model only) now also contains all conversions.

The container itself may now be safely deleted - the conversions will remain on disk.
