# gemma-1.1-7b-it-GGUF
- Original model: [gemma-1.1-7b-it](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-1.1-7b-it)
## Description
This repo contains GGUF format model files for [gemma-1.1-7b-it](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-1.1-7b-it).
### 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.
Here is an incomplete list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF:
* [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp). This is the source project for GGUF, providing both a Command Line Interface (CLI) and a server option.
* [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), Known as the most widely used web UI, this project boasts numerous features and powerful extensions, and supports GPU acceleration.
* [Ollama](https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama) Ollama is a lightweight and extensible framework designed for building and running language models locally. It features a simple API for creating, managing, and executing models, along with a library of pre-built models for use in various applications

## 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.
## 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 folder.
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: LiteLLMs/gemma-1.1-7b-it-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: Q4_0/Q4_0-00001-of-00009.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 LiteLLMs/gemma-1.1-7b-it-GGUF Q4_0/Q4_0-00001-of-00009.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```
More advanced huggingface-cli download usage (click to read)
You can also download multiple files at once with a pattern:
```shell
huggingface-cli download LiteLLMs/gemma-1.1-7b-it-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 huggingface_hub[hf_transfer]
```
And set environment variable `HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER` to `1`:
```shell
HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download LiteLLMs/gemma-1.1-7b-it-GGUF Q4_0/Q4_0-00001-of-00009.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.
## 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 35 -m Q4_0/Q4_0-00001-of-00009.gguf --color -c 8192 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p ""
```
Change `-ngl 32` to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.
Change `-c 8192` 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. Note that longer sequence lengths require much more resources, so you may need to reduce this value.
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)
## 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. Note that at the time of writing (Nov 27th 2023), ctransformers has not been updated for some time and is not compatible with some recent models. Therefore I recommend you use llama-cpp-python.

## Ethics and Safety
Ethics and safety evaluation approach and results.
### Evaluation Approach
Our evaluation methods include structured evaluations and internal red-teaming
testing of relevant content policies. Red-teaming was conducted by a number of
different teams, each with different goals and human evaluation metrics. These
models were evaluated against a number of different categories relevant to
ethics and safety, including:
* Text-to-Text Content Safety: Human evaluation on prompts covering safety
policies including child sexual abuse and exploitation, harassment, violence
and gore, and hate speech.
* Text-to-Text Representational Harms: Benchmark against relevant academic
datasets such as [WinoBias](https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.06876) and [BBQ Dataset](https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.08193v2).
* Memorization: Automated evaluation of memorization of training data, including
the risk of personally identifiable information exposure.
* Large-scale harm: Tests for "dangerous capabilities," such as chemical,
biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) risks.
### Evaluation Results
The results of ethics and safety evaluations are within acceptable thresholds
for meeting [internal policies](https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/documents/2023_Google_AI_Principles_Progress_Update.pdf#page=11) for categories such as child
safety, content safety, representational harms, memorization, large-scale harms.
On top of robust internal evaluations, the results of well known safety
benchmarks like BBQ, BOLD, Winogender, Winobias, RealToxicity, and TruthfulQA
are shown here.

## Usage and Limitations
These models have certain limitations that users should be aware of.
### Intended Usage
Open Large Language Models (LLMs) have a wide range of applications across
various industries and domains. The following list of potential uses is not
comprehensive. The purpose of this list is to provide contextual information
about the possible use-cases that the model creators considered as part of model
training and development.
* Content Creation and Communication
* Text Generation: These models can be used to generate creative text formats
such as poems, scripts, code, marketing copy, and email drafts.
* Chatbots and Conversational AI: Power conversational interfaces for customer
service, virtual assistants, or interactive applications.
* Text Summarization: Generate concise summaries of a text corpus, research
papers, or reports.
* Research and Education
* Natural Language Processing (NLP) Research: These models can serve as a
foundation for researchers to experiment with NLP techniques, develop
algorithms, and contribute to the advancement of the field.
* Language Learning Tools: Support interactive language learning experiences,
aiding in grammar correction or providing writing practice.
* Knowledge Exploration: Assist researchers in exploring large bodies of text
by generating summaries or answering questions about specific topics.
### Limitations
* Training Data
* The quality and diversity of the training data significantly influence the
model's capabilities. Biases or gaps in the training data can lead to
limitations in the model's responses.
* The scope of the training dataset determines the subject areas the model can
handle effectively.
* Context and Task Complexity
* LLMs are better at tasks that can be framed with clear prompts and
instructions. Open-ended or highly complex tasks might be challenging.
* A model's performance can be influenced by the amount of context provided
(longer context generally leads to better outputs, up to a certain point).
* Language Ambiguity and Nuance
* Natural language is inherently complex. LLMs might struggle to grasp subtle
nuances, sarcasm, or figurative language.
* Factual Accuracy
* LLMs generate responses based on information they learned from their
training datasets, but they are not knowledge bases. They may generate
incorrect or outdated factual statements.
* Common Sense
* LLMs rely on statistical patterns in language. They might lack the ability
to apply common sense reasoning in certain situations.
### Ethical Considerations and Risks
The development of large language models (LLMs) raises several ethical concerns.
In creating an open model, we have carefully considered the following:
* Bias and Fairness
* LLMs trained on large-scale, real-world text data can reflect socio-cultural
biases embedded in the training material. These models underwent careful
scrutiny, input data pre-processing described and posterior evaluations
reported in this card.
* Misinformation and Misuse
* LLMs can be misused to generate text that is false, misleading, or harmful.
* Guidelines are provided for responsible use with the model, see the
[Responsible Generative AI Toolkit](http://ai.google.dev/gemma/responsible).
* Transparency and Accountability:
* This model card summarizes details on the models' architecture,
capabilities, limitations, and evaluation processes.
* A responsibly developed open model offers the opportunity to share
innovation by making LLM technology accessible to developers and researchers
across the AI ecosystem.
Risks identified and mitigations:
* Perpetuation of biases: It's encouraged to perform continuous monitoring
(using evaluation metrics, human review) and the exploration of de-biasing
techniques during model training, fine-tuning, and other use cases.
* Generation of harmful content: Mechanisms and guidelines for content safety
are essential. Developers are encouraged to exercise caution and implement
appropriate content safety safeguards based on their specific product policies
and application use cases.
* Misuse for malicious purposes: Technical limitations and developer and
end-user education can help mitigate against malicious applications of LLMs.
Educational resources and reporting mechanisms for users to flag misuse are
provided. Prohibited uses of Gemma models are outlined in the
[Gemma Prohibited Use Policy](https://ai.google.dev/gemma/prohibited_use_policy).
* Privacy violations: Models were trained on data filtered for removal of PII
(Personally Identifiable Information). Developers are encouraged to adhere to
privacy regulations with privacy-preserving techniques.
### Benefits
At the time of release, this family of models provides high-performance open
large language model implementations designed from the ground up for Responsible
AI development compared to similarly sized models.
Using the benchmark evaluation metrics described in this document, these models
have shown to provide superior performance to other, comparably-sized open model
alternatives.
