# 30B Epsilon - AWQ
- Model creator: [Caldera AI](https://huggingface.co/CalderaAI)
- Original model: [30B Epsilon](https://huggingface.co/CalderaAI/30B-Epsilon)
## Description
This repo contains AWQ model files for [CalderaAI's 30B Epsilon](https://huggingface.co/CalderaAI/30B-Epsilon).
### About AWQ
AWQ is an efficient, accurate and blazing-fast low-bit weight quantization method, currently supporting 4-bit quantization. Compared to GPTQ, it offers faster Transformers-based inference.
It is also now supported by continuous batching server [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm), allowing use of AWQ models for high-throughput concurrent inference in multi-user server scenarios. Note that, at the time of writing, overall throughput is still lower than running vLLM with unquantised models, however using AWQ enables using much smaller GPUs which can lead to easier deployment and overall cost savings. For example, a 70B model can be run on 1 x 48GB GPU instead of 2 x 80GB.

## Provided files and AWQ parameters
For my first release of AWQ models, I am releasing 128g models only. I will consider adding 32g as well if there is interest, and once I have done perplexity and evaluation comparisons, but at this time 32g models are still not fully tested with AutoAWQ and vLLM.
Models are released as sharded safetensors files.
| Branch | Bits | GS | AWQ Dataset | Seq Len | Size |
| ------ | ---- | -- | ----------- | ------- | ---- |
| [main](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/30B-Epsilon-AWQ/tree/main) | 4 | 128 | [wikitext](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikitext/viewer/wikitext-2-v1/test) | 4096 | 17.53 GB
## Serving this model from vLLM
Documentation on installing and using vLLM [can be found here](https://vllm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
- When using vLLM as a server, pass the `--quantization awq` parameter, for example:
```shell
python3 python -m vllm.entrypoints.api_server --model TheBloke/30B-Epsilon-AWQ --quantization awq
```
When using vLLM from Python code, pass the `quantization=awq` parameter, for example:
```python
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
prompts = [
"Hello, my name is",
"The president of the United States is",
"The capital of France is",
"The future of AI is",
]
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)
llm = LLM(model="TheBloke/30B-Epsilon-AWQ", quantization="awq")
outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)
# Print the outputs.
for output in outputs:
prompt = output.prompt
generated_text = output.outputs[0].text
print(f"Prompt: {prompt!r}, Generated text: {generated_text!r}")
```
## How to use this AWQ model from Python code
### Install the necessary packages
Requires: [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) 0.0.2 or later
```shell
pip3 install autoawq
```
If you have problems installing [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) using the pre-built wheels, install it from source instead:
```shell
pip3 uninstall -y autoawq
git clone https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ
cd AutoAWQ
pip3 install .
```
### You can then try the following example code
```python
from awq import AutoAWQForCausalLM
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/30B-Epsilon-AWQ"
# Load model
model = AutoAWQForCausalLM.from_quantized(model_name_or_path, fuse_layers=True,
trust_remote_code=True, safetensors=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, trust_remote_code=True)
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:")
tokens = tokenizer(
prompt_template,
return_tensors='pt'
).input_ids.cuda()
# Generate output
generation_output = model.generate(
tokens,
do_sample=True,
temperature=0.7,
top_p=0.95,
top_k=40,
max_new_tokens=512
)
print("Output: ", tokenizer.decode(generation_output[0]))
# Inference can also be done using transformers' pipeline
from transformers import pipeline
print("*** Pipeline:")
pipe = pipeline(
"text-generation",
model=model,
tokenizer=tokenizer,
max_new_tokens=512,
do_sample=True,
temperature=0.7,
top_p=0.95,
top_k=40,
repetition_penalty=1.1
)
print(pipe(prompt_template)[0]['generated_text'])
```
## Compatibility
The files provided are tested to work with [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ), and [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm).
[Huggingface Text Generation Inference (TGI)](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference) is not yet compatible with AWQ, but a PR is open which should bring support soon: [TGI PR #781](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference/issues/781).

## Thanks, and how to contribute
Thanks to the [chirper.ai](https://chirper.ai) team!
Thanks to Clay from [gpus.llm-utils.org](llm-utils)!
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 30B Epsilon
## 30B-Epsilon
Epsilon is an instruct based general purpose model assembled from hand picked models and LoRAs.
There is no censorship and it follows instructions in the Alpaca format. This means you can create
your own rules in the context memory of your inference system of choice [mainly KoboldAI or Text
Generation Webui and chat UIs like SillyTavern and so on].
## Composition:
This model is the result of an experimental use of LoRAs on language models and model merges.
[] = applied as LoRA to a composite model | () = combined as composite models
30B-Epsilon = [SuperCOT[SuperHOT-prototype13b-8192[(wizardlmuncensored+((hippogriff+manticore)+(StoryV2))]
Alpaca's instruct format can be used to do many things, including control of the terms of behavior
between a user and a response from an agent in chat. Below is an example of a command injected into
memory.
```
### Instruction:
Make Narrator function as a text based adventure game that responds with verbose, detailed, and creative descriptions of what happens next after Player's response.
Make Player function as the player input for Narrator's text based adventure game, controlling a character named (insert character name here, their short bio, and
whatever quest or other information to keep consistent in the interaction).
### Response:
{an empty new line here}
```
All datasets from all models and LoRAs used were documented and reviewed as model candidates for merging.
Model candidates were based on five core principles: creativity, logic, inference, instruction following,
and longevity of trained responses. SuperHOT-prototype30b-8192 was used in this mix, not the 8K version;
the prototype LoRA seems to have been removed [from HF] as of this writing. The GPT4Alpaca LoRA from
Chansung was removed from this amalgam following a thorough review of where censorship and railroading
the user came from in 33B-Lazarus. This is not a reflection of ChanSung's excellent work - it merely did
not fit the purpose of this model.
