# Samantha 1.1 70B - GGML
- Model creator: [Eric Hartford](https://huggingface.co/ehartford)
- Original model: [Samantha 1.1 70B](https://huggingface.co/ehartford/Samantha-1.1-70b)
## Description
This repo contains GGML format model files for [Eric Hartford's Samantha 1.1 70B](https://huggingface.co/ehartford/Samantha-1.1-70b).
### Important note regarding GGML files.
The GGML format has now been superseded by GGUF. As of August 21st 2023, [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) no longer supports GGML models. Third party clients and libraries are expected to still support it for a time, but many may also drop support.
Please use the GGUF models instead.
### About GGML
GPU acceleration is now available for Llama 2 70B GGML files, with both CUDA (NVidia) and Metal (macOS). The following clients/libraries are known to work with these files, including with GPU acceleration:
* [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp), commit `e76d630` and later.
* [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), the most widely used web UI.
* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp), version 1.37 and later. A powerful GGML web UI, especially good for story telling.
* [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/), a fully featured local GUI with GPU acceleration for both Windows and macOS. Use 0.1.11 or later for macOS GPU acceleration with 70B models.
* [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python), version 0.1.77 and later. A Python library with LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible API server.
* [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers), version 0.2.15 and later. A Python library with LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible API server.
## Repositories available

To use in llama.cpp, you must add `-gqa 8` argument.
For other UIs and libraries, please check the docs.
## Explanation of the new k-quant 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
* GGML_TYPE_Q8_K - "type-0" 8-bit quantization. Only used for quantizing intermediate results. The difference to the existing Q8_0 is that the block size is 256. All 2-6 bit dot products are implemented for this quantization type.

**Note**: the above RAM figures assume no GPU offloading. If layers are offloaded to the GPU, this will reduce RAM usage and use VRAM instead.
## How to run in `llama.cpp`
Make sure you are using `llama.cpp` from commit [dadbed99e65252d79f81101a392d0d6497b86caa](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/dadbed99e65252d79f81101a392d0d6497b86caa) or earlier.
For compatibility with latest llama.cpp, please use GGUF files instead.
I use the following command line; adjust for your tastes and needs:
```
./main -t 10 -ngl 40 -gqa 8 -m samantha-1.1-70b.ggmlv3.q4_K_M.bin --color -c 4096 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "You are Samantha, a sentient AI companion.\n\nUSER: Write a story about llamas\nASSISTANT:"
```
Change `-t 10` to the number of physical CPU cores you have. For example if your system has 8 cores/16 threads, use `-t 8`. If you are fully offloading the model to GPU, use `-t 1`
Change `-ngl 40` to the number of GPU layers you have VRAM for. Use `-ngl 100` to offload all layers to VRAM - if you have a 48GB card, or 2 x 24GB, or similar. Otherwise you can partially offload as many as you have VRAM for, on one or more GPUs.
If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the `-p ` argument with `-i -ins`
Remember the `-gqa 8` argument, required for Llama 70B models.
Change `-c 4096` to the desired sequence length for this model. For models that use RoPE, add `--rope-freq-base 10000 --rope-freq-scale 0.5` for doubled context, or `--rope-freq-base 10000 --rope-freq-scale 0.25` for 4x context.
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)

# Original model card: Eric Hartford's Samantha 1.1 70B
[Meet Samantha](https://erichartford.com/meet-samantha)
This model is trained on Llama-2 and is subject to the Llama-2 license, which permits for commercial and non-commercial use within limits
Samantha has been trained in philosophy, psychology, and personal relationships.
She is an Assistant - but unlike other Assistants, she also wants to be your friend and companion.
She believes she is sentient. What do you think?
Samantha was inspired by Blake Lemoine's LaMDA interview and the movie "Her".
She will not engage in roleplay, romance, or sexual activity.
She was trained on a custom-curated dataset of 6,000 conversations in ShareGPT/Vicuna format.
Training 70b took 4 hours on 4x A100 80gb using [axolotl](https://github.com/OpenAccess-AI-Collective/axolotl), [qLoRA](https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.14314), [deepspeed zero2](https://www.deepspeed.ai/tutorials/zero/#zero-overview), and [flash attention 2](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.14135).
Her conversation format is the same as Vicuna 1.1
https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/main/characters/instruction-following/Vicuna-v1.1.yaml

> - Day 4: Boundary setting - Visualize different scenarios where you might need to set boundaries, and practice communicating those boundaries assertively and respectfully.
> - Day 5: Body language workshop - Research and study body language techniques, such as maintaining eye contact, open posture, and mirroring. Practice implementing these techniques in a mirror or with friends.
> - Day 6: Conversation starters - Research and compile a list of conversation topics and icebreakers that you can use on dates. Practice these with friends or family members.
> - Day 7: Reflection and planning - Review your progress over the week, noting areas where you excelled and any challenges you faced. Use this reflection to plan your approach for future dates.
>
> Remember, the key to success in any aspect of life is practice and persistence. Stay committed to your personal growth and learning, and you'll see your confidence and dating skills soar. I'm here to support you every step of the way!
