## Provided files and GPTQ parameters
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.
All recent GPTQ files are made with AutoGPTQ, and all files in non-main branches are made with AutoGPTQ. Files in the `main` branch which were uploaded before August 2023 were made with GPTQ-for-LLaMa.
Explanation of GPTQ parameters
- Bits: The bit size of the quantised model.
- GS: GPTQ group size. Higher numbers use less VRAM, but have lower quantisation accuracy. "None" is the lowest possible value.
- Act Order: True or False. Also known as `desc_act`. True results in better quantisation accuracy. Some GPTQ clients have had issues with models that use Act Order plus Group Size, but this is generally resolved now.
- Damp %: A GPTQ parameter that affects how samples are processed for quantisation. 0.01 is default, but 0.1 results in slightly better accuracy.
- GPTQ dataset: The dataset used for quantisation. Using a dataset more appropriate to the model's training can improve quantisation accuracy. Note that the GPTQ dataset is not the same as the dataset used to train the model - please refer to the original model repo for details of the training dataset(s).
- Sequence Length: The length of the dataset sequences used for quantisation. Ideally this is the same as the model sequence length. For some very long sequence models (16+K), a lower sequence length may have to be used. Note that a lower sequence length does not limit the sequence length of the quantised model. It only impacts the quantisation accuracy on longer inference sequences.
- ExLlama Compatibility: Whether this file can be loaded with ExLlama, which currently only supports Llama models in 4-bit.

## How to download from branches
- In text-generation-webui, you can add `:branch` to the end of the download name, eg `TheBloke/30B-Epsilon-GPTQ:main`
- With Git, you can clone a branch with:
```
git clone --single-branch --branch main https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/30B-Epsilon-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're sure you know how to make a manual install.
1. Click the **Model tab**.
2. Under **Download custom model or LoRA**, enter `TheBloke/30B-Epsilon-GPTQ`.
- To download from a specific branch, enter for example `TheBloke/30B-Epsilon-GPTQ:main`
- 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: `30B-Epsilon-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 and should not set manual 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
### Install the necessary packages
Requires: Transformers 4.32.0 or later, Optimum 1.12.0 or later, and AutoGPTQ 0.4.2 or later.
```shell
pip3 install transformers>=4.32.0 optimum>=1.12.0
pip3 install auto-gptq --extra-index-url https://huggingface.github.io/autogptq-index/whl/cu118/ # Use cu117 if on CUDA 11.7
```
If you have problems installing AutoGPTQ using the pre-built wheels, install it from source instead:
```shell
pip3 uninstall -y auto-gptq
git clone https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ
cd AutoGPTQ
pip3 install .
```
### For CodeLlama models only: you must use Transformers 4.33.0 or later.
If 4.33.0 is not yet released when you read this, you will need to install Transformers from source:
```shell
pip3 uninstall -y transformers
pip3 install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git
```
### You can then use the following code
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, pipeline
model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/30B-Epsilon-GPTQ"
# To use a different branch, change revision
# For example: revision="main"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path,
device_map="auto",
trust_remote_code=True,
revision="main")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, use_fast=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.

print("\n\n*** Generate:")

output = model.generate(inputs=input_ids, temperature=0.7, do_sample=True, top_p=0.95, top_k=40, max_new_tokens=512)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0]))
# Inference can also be done using transformers' 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 AutoGPTQ, both via Transformers and using AutoGPTQ directly. They should also work with [Occ4m's GPTQ-for-LLaMa fork](https://github.com/0cc4m/KoboldAI).
[ExLlama](https://github.com/turboderp/exllama) is compatible with Llama models in 4-bit. Please see the Provided Files table above for per-file compatibility.
[Huggingface Text Generation Inference (TGI)](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference) is compatible with all GPTQ models.

# 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.
