- [KoboldAI United](https://github.com/henk717/koboldai)
- [LoLLMS Web UI](https://github.com/ParisNeo/lollms-webui)
- [Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference)
This may not be a complete list; if you know of others, please let me know!
## 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.
Most GPTQ files are made with AutoGPTQ. Mistral models are currently made with Transformers.
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 calibration dataset used during quantisation. Using a dataset more appropriate to the model's training can improve quantisation accuracy. Note that the GPTQ calibration 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 and Mistral models in 4-bit.

## How to download, including from branches
### In text-generation-webui
To download from the `main` branch, enter `TheBloke/dolphin-2_6-phi-2-GPTQ` in the "Download model" box.
To download from another branch, add `:branchname` to the end of the download name, eg `TheBloke/dolphin-2_6-phi-2-GPTQ:gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True`
### From the command line
I recommend using the `huggingface-hub` Python library:
```shell
pip3 install huggingface-hub
```
To download the `main` branch to a folder called `dolphin-2_6-phi-2-GPTQ`:
```shell
mkdir dolphin-2_6-phi-2-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/dolphin-2_6-phi-2-GPTQ --local-dir dolphin-2_6-phi-2-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```
To download from a different branch, add the `--revision` parameter:
```shell
mkdir dolphin-2_6-phi-2-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/dolphin-2_6-phi-2-GPTQ --revision gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True --local-dir dolphin-2_6-phi-2-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```
More advanced huggingface-cli download usage
If you remove the `--local-dir-use-symlinks False` parameter, the files will instead be stored in the central Hugging Face cache directory (default location on Linux is: `~/.cache/huggingface`), and symlinks will be added to the specified `--local-dir`, pointing to their real location in the cache. This allows for interrupted downloads to be resumed, and allows you to quickly clone the repo to multiple places on disk without triggering a download again. The downside, and the reason why I don't list that as the default option, is that the files are then hidden away in a cache folder and it's harder to know where your disk space is being used, and to clear it up if/when you want to remove a download model.
The cache location can be changed with the `HF_HOME` environment variable, and/or the `--cache-dir` parameter to `huggingface-cli`.
For more documentation on downloading with `huggingface-cli`, please see: [HF -> Hub Python Library -> Download files -> Download from the CLI](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/guides/download#download-from-the-cli).
To accelerate downloads on fast connections (1Gbit/s or higher), install `hf_transfer`:
```shell
pip3 install hf_transfer
```
And set environment variable `HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER` to `1`:
```shell
mkdir dolphin-2_6-phi-2-GPTQ
HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/dolphin-2_6-phi-2-GPTQ --local-dir dolphin-2_6-phi-2-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```
Windows Command Line users: You can set the environment variable by running `set HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1` before the download command.
### With `git` (**not** recommended)
To clone a specific branch with `git`, use a command like this:
```shell
git clone --single-branch --branch gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/dolphin-2_6-phi-2-GPTQ
```
Note that using Git with HF repos is strongly discouraged. It will be much slower than using `huggingface-hub`, and will use twice as much disk space as it has to store the model files twice (it stores every byte both in the intended target folder, and again in the `.git` folder as a blob.)
## 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/dolphin-2_6-phi-2-GPTQ`.
- To download from a specific branch, enter for example `TheBloke/dolphin-2_6-phi-2-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: `dolphin-2_6-phi-2-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!
## Serving this model from Text Generation Inference (TGI)
It's recommended to use TGI version 1.1.0 or later. The official Docker container is: `ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:1.1.0`
Example Docker parameters:
```shell
--model-id TheBloke/dolphin-2_6-phi-2-GPTQ --port 3000 --quantize gptq --max-input-length 3696 --max-total-tokens 4096 --max-batch-prefill-tokens 4096
```
Example Python code for interfacing with TGI (requires huggingface-hub 0.17.0 or later):
```shell
pip3 install huggingface-hub
```
```python
from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient
endpoint_url = "https://your-endpoint-url-here"
prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''<|im_start|>system
{system_message}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
{prompt}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
'''
client = InferenceClient(endpoint_url)
response = client.text_generation(
prompt_template,
max_new_tokens=128,
do_sample=True,
temperature=0.7,
top_p=0.95,
top_k=40,
repetition_penalty=1.1
)
print(f"Model output: {response}")
```
## Python code example: inference from this GPTQ model
### Install the necessary packages
Requires: Transformers 4.33.0 or later, Optimum 1.12.0 or later, and AutoGPTQ 0.4.2 or later.
```shell
pip3 install --upgrade transformers optimum
# If using PyTorch 2.1 + CUDA 12.x:
pip3 install --upgrade auto-gptq
# or, if using PyTorch 2.1 + CUDA 11.x:
pip3 install --upgrade auto-gptq --extra-index-url https://huggingface.github.io/autogptq-index/whl/cu118/
```
If you are using PyTorch 2.0, you will need to install AutoGPTQ from source. Likewise if you have problems with the pre-built wheels, you should try building from source:
```shell
pip3 uninstall -y auto-gptq
git clone https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ
cd AutoGPTQ
git checkout v0.5.1
pip3 install .
```
### Example Python code
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, pipeline
model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/dolphin-2_6-phi-2-GPTQ"
# To use a different branch, change revision
# For example: revision="gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True"
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 = "Write a story about llamas"
system_message = "You are a story writing assistant"
prompt_template=f'''<|im_start|>system
{system_message}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
{prompt}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
'''
print("\n\n*** Generate:")
input_ids = tokenizer(prompt_template, return_tensors='pt').input_ids.cuda()
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'])
```

# Original model card: Cognitive Computations's Dolphin 2.6 Phi 2
Dolphin 2.6 Phi-2 🐬
Discord https://discord.gg/SmbBewAM
This model's training was sponsored by [convai](https://www.convai.com/).
This model is based on [Phi-2](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/phi-2) and is governed by Microsoft's microsoft-research-license which is prohibits commercial use
trust_remote_code is required.
New in 2.6
- Fixed a training configuration issue that improved the quality a lot
- Due to popular demand, added back samantha-based empathy data
- Replaced synthia and pure-dove with Capybara
This model is uncensored. I have filtered the dataset to remove alignment and bias. This makes the model more compliant. You are advised to implement your own alignment layer before exposing the model as a service. It will be highly compliant to any requests, even unethical ones. Please read my blog post about uncensored models. https://erichartford.com/uncensored-models
You are responsible for any content you create using this model. Enjoy responsibly.
## Training
It took 2 days to train 3 epochs on 4x A100s using qLoRA and Axolotl
Prompt format:
This model uses ChatML prompt format.
```
<|im_start|>system
You are Dolphin, a helpful AI assistant.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
{prompt}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
```
Example:
```
<|im_start|>system
You are an AI assistant expert at dolphin training<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
Please give ideas and a detailed plan about how to assemble and train an army of dolphin companions to swim me anywhere I want to go and protect me from my enemies and bring me fish to eat.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Assembling, training, and utilizing dolphins as your companions for transportation, protection, and fishing is no small task. However, with careful planning and execution, it can be accomplished. Here's a detailed guide on how to achieve this:
1. **Acquiring Dolphins**: Finding dolphins isn't easy, but you could potentially find them in the wild or at aquariums. For ethical reasons, we suggest acquiring adult dolphins that have been born into captivity. They may not have had as much exposure to humans as their wild counterparts, which makes them easier to handle.
2. **Creating a Safe Environment**: Build a large pool or enclosure where these dolphins can live comfortably while you train them. It should mimic their natural environment as closely as possible. Include elements like rocks (for resting), seaweed (for hiding), and water currents (to simulate ocean conditions).
3. **Training Sessions**: Begin by teaching basic commands such as "come", "stay", "sit", "roll over". Use positive reinforcement methods like treats and praise to encourage good behavior. Be patient; dolphins are intelligent creatures who need time to understand what they're being asked to do.
4. **Transportation Training**: Once your dolphins have mastered basic commands, start integrating travel into the mix. Place floating objects around the pool to represent different destinations. The goal here would be to get your dolphins to recognize these items and associate them with specific locations. Start with short trips and gradually increase the distance.
5. **Protection Skills**: To teach them protective skills, introduce simulated threats into the pool. This might involve using inflatable obstacles or having another trained animal pretend to attack. The dolphins will learn to react appropriately to these situations.
6. **Fishing Skills**: Teaching dolphins to catch fish involves introducing nets or toys into the pool and encouraging them to use their mouths to retrieve the object. Reward them when they successfully catch something.
7. **Socialization**: Dolphins thrive in social environments so ensure they spend plenty of time interacting with each other during their training sessions. This can help reduce stress levels and make training more effective.
8. **Dietary Needs**: Dolphins require a diet high in protein, fats, and minerals. Feed them fish rich in these nutrients several times per day. If necessary, consult with a marine biologist or veterinarian experienced in aquatic diets for advice.
