## Provided files
Multiple quantisation parameters are provided, to allow you to choose the best one for your hardware and requirements.
Each separate quant is in a different branch. See below for instructions on fetching from different branches.
| Branch | Bits | Group Size | Act Order (desc_act) | File Size | ExLlama Compatible? | Made With | Description |
| ------ | ---- | ---------- | -------------------- | --------- | ------------------- | --------- | ----------- |
| main | 4 | 128 | False | 7.26 GB | True | AutoGPTQ | Most compatible option. Good inference speed in AutoGPTQ and GPTQ-for-LLaMa. Lower inference quality than other options. |
| gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True | 4 | 32 | True | 8.00 GB | True | AutoGPTQ | 4-bit, with Act Order and group size. 32g gives highest possible inference quality, with maximum VRAM usage. Poor AutoGPTQ CUDA speed. |
| gptq-4bit-64g-actorder_True | 4 | 64 | True | 7.51 GB | True | AutoGPTQ | 4-bit, with Act Order and group size. 64g uses less VRAM than 32g, but with slightly lower accuracy. Poor AutoGPTQ CUDA speed. |
| gptq-4bit-128g-actorder_True | 4 | 128 | True | 7.26 GB | True | AutoGPTQ | 4-bit, with Act Order and group size. 128g uses even less VRAM, but with slightly lower accuracy. Poor AutoGPTQ CUDA speed. |
| gptq-8bit-128g-actorder_True | 8 | 128 | True | Processing, coming soon | False | AutoGPTQ | 8-bit, with group size 128g for higher inference quality and with Act Order for even higher accuracy. Poor AutoGPTQ CUDA speed. |
| gptq-8bit-64g-actorder_True | 8 | 64 | True | Processing, coming soon | False | AutoGPTQ | 8-bit, with group size 64g and Act Order for maximum inference quality. Poor AutoGPTQ CUDA speed. |
| gptq-8bit-128g-actorder_False | 8 | 128 | False | Processing, coming soon | False | AutoGPTQ | 8-bit, with group size 128g for higher inference quality and without Act Order to improve AutoGPTQ speed. |
| gptq-8bit--1g-actorder_True | 8 | None | True | Processing, coming soon | False | AutoGPTQ | 8-bit, with Act Order. No group size, to lower VRAM requirements and to improve AutoGPTQ speed. |
## How to download from branches
- In text-generation-webui, you can add `:branch` to the end of the download name, eg `TheBloke/13B-BlueMethod-GPTQ:gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True`
- With Git, you can clone a branch with:
```
git clone --branch gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/13B-BlueMethod-GPTQ`
```
- In Python Transformers code, the branch is the `revision` parameter; see below.
## How to easily download and use this model in [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui).
Please make sure you're using the latest version of [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui).
It is strongly recommended to use the text-generation-webui one-click-installers unless you know how to make a manual install.
1. Click the **Model tab**.
2. Under **Download custom model or LoRA**, enter `TheBloke/13B-BlueMethod-GPTQ`.
- To download from a specific branch, enter for example `TheBloke/13B-BlueMethod-GPTQ:gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True`
- see Provided Files above for the list of branches for each option.
3. Click **Download**.
4. The model will start downloading. Once it's finished it will say "Done"
5. In the top left, click the refresh icon next to **Model**.
6. In the **Model** dropdown, choose the model you just downloaded: `13B-BlueMethod-GPTQ`
7. The model will automatically load, and is now ready for use!
8. If you want any custom settings, set them and then click **Save settings for this model** followed by **Reload the Model** in the top right.
* Note that you do not need to set GPTQ parameters any more. These are set automatically from the file `quantize_config.json`.
9. Once you're ready, click the **Text Generation tab** and enter a prompt to get started!
## How to use this GPTQ model from Python code
First make sure you have [AutoGPTQ](https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ) installed:
`GITHUB_ACTIONS=true pip install auto-gptq`
Then try the following example code:
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, pipeline, logging
from auto_gptq import AutoGPTQForCausalLM, BaseQuantizeConfig
model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/13B-BlueMethod-GPTQ"
model_basename = "gptq_model-4bit-128g"
use_triton = False
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, use_fast=True)
model = AutoGPTQForCausalLM.from_quantized(model_name_or_path,
model_basename=model_basename,
use_safetensors=True,
trust_remote_code=True,
device="cuda:0",
use_triton=use_triton,
quantize_config=None)
"""
To download from a specific branch, use the revision parameter, as in this example:
model = AutoGPTQForCausalLM.from_quantized(model_name_or_path,
revision="gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True",
model_basename=model_basename,
use_safetensors=True,
trust_remote_code=True,
device="cuda:0",
quantize_config=None)
"""
prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction: {prompt}
### Response:
'''
print("\n\n*** Generate:")
input_ids = tokenizer(prompt_template, return_tensors='pt').input_ids.cuda()
output = model.generate(inputs=input_ids, temperature=0.7, max_new_tokens=512)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0]))
# Inference can also be done using transformers' pipeline
# Prevent printing spurious transformers error when using pipeline with AutoGPTQ
logging.set_verbosity(logging.CRITICAL)
print("*** Pipeline:")
pipe = pipeline(
"text-generation",
model=model,
tokenizer=tokenizer,
max_new_tokens=512,
temperature=0.7,
top_p=0.95,
repetition_penalty=1.15
)
print(pipe(prompt_template)[0]['generated_text'])
```
## Compatibility
The files provided will work with AutoGPTQ (CUDA and Triton modes), GPTQ-for-LLaMa (only CUDA has been tested), and Occ4m's GPTQ-for-LLaMa fork.
ExLlama works with Llama models in 4-bit. Please see the Provided Files table above for per-file compatibility.

## Thanks, and how to contribute.
Thanks to the [chirper.ai](https://chirper.ai) team!
I've had a lot of people ask if they can contribute. I enjoy providing models and helping people, and would love to be able to spend even more time doing it, as well as expanding into new projects like fine tuning/training.
If you're able and willing to contribute it will be most gratefully received and will help me to keep providing more models, and to start work on new AI projects.
Donaters will get priority support on any and all AI/LLM/model questions and requests, access to a private Discord room, plus other benefits.

# Original model card: CalderaAI's 13B BlueMethod
## 13B-BlueMethod
## Composition:
BlueMethod is a bit of a convoluted experiment in tiered merging.
Furthering the experimental nature of the merge, the models combined
were done so with a custom script that randomized the percent of each
layer merged from one model to the next. This is a warmup for a larger
project.
[Tier One and Two Merges not released; internal naming convention]
Tier One Merges:
13B-Metharme+13B-Nous-Hermes=13B-Methermes
13B-Vicuna-cocktail+13B-Manticore=13B-Vicortia
13B-HyperMantis+13B-Alpacino=13B-PsychoMantis
Tier Two Merges:
13B-Methermes+13B-Vicortia=13B-Methphistopheles
13B-PsychoMantis+13B-BlueMoonRP=13B-BlueMantis
Tier Three Merge:
13B-Methphistopheles+13B-BlueMantis=13B-BlueMethod
## Use:
Multiple instruct models and model composites were combined to make the final resulting model;
This model is highly open to experimental prompting, both Alpaca and Vicuna instruct can be used.
It can have interesting results.
