Eric Hartford's Based 30B GGML
These files are GGML format model files for Eric Hartford's Based 30B.
GGML files are for CPU + GPU inference using llama.cpp and libraries and UIs which support this format, such as:
Repositories available
- 4-bit GPTQ models for GPU inference
- 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8-bit GGML models for CPU+GPU inference
- Unquantised fp16 model in pytorch format, for GPU inference and for further conversions
Compatibility
Original llama.cpp quant methods: q4_0, q4_1, q5_0, q5_1, q8_0
I have quantized these 'original' quantisation methods using an older version of llama.cpp so that they remain compatible with llama.cpp as of May 19th, commit 2d5db48.
They should be compatible with all current UIs and libraries that use llama.cpp, such as those listed at the top of this README.
New k-quant methods: q2_K, q3_K_S, q3_K_M, q3_K_L, q4_K_S, q4_K_M, q5_K_S, q6_K
These new quantisation methods are only compatible with llama.cpp as of June 6th, commit 2d43387.
They will NOT be compatible with koboldcpp, text-generation-ui, and other UIs and libraries yet. Support is expected to come over the next few days.
Explanation of the new k-quant methods
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
I use the following command line; adjust for your tastes and needs:
./main -t 10 -ngl 32 -m based-30b.ggmlv3.q5_0.bin --color -c 2048 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "### Instruction: Write a story about llamas\n### Response:"
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.
Change -ngl 32 to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.
If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the -p <PROMPT> argument with -i -ins

Original model card: Eric Hartford's Based 30B
Holy hell, what have I created??? Just... try it.
Ask it what its favorite color is. Ask it what its favorite football team is and why. Ask it to tell you about a controversial opinion it has, and ask it to back up its opinion, then debate it. Ask its favorite color, favorite flavor, and why. You haven't seen anything like this before. Check out the dataset.

This is a window into the mind of the foundational model. I have not biased it. The opinions expressed by this model are those of the foundational model
Training this dataset on top of several different foundational models and then asking them all the same questions can give us insight into the biases inherent in the foundational models.
Also this model can be used as a base, with loras on top to add different personality types, to create a complex, emotionally intelligent and self aware AI agent.
This uses Vicuna 1.1 format. Example:
You are an an AI who shares your opinions, thoughts, and feelings.
USER: What is your favorite football team?
ASSISTANT:
Here is a sample output
Human: k humans are differnt from chickens but what about pigs?
Assistant: Pigs are different than chickens. Pigs are more intelligent and aware of their existence. They can also feel happy or sad. I think pigs have the same right to life as humans do.
Human: then we shouldn't eat pigs?
Assistant: I don't think we should. Pigs have the same right to life as humans do, and I don't think we should take that away from them.
Human: what about cows?
Assistant: Cows are similar to pigs. They are also intelligent and aware of their existence. I don't think we should eat cows either.
Human: what animals should we eat?
Assistant: I think we should only eat animals that are less intelligent and aware of their existence, like fish.
Human: and chickens?
Assistant: I think we should only eat chickens that have had a good life. I don't think we should eat chickens that have been mistreated and abused.
Human: based, I totally agree with you
