## 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.
| Branch | Bits | GS | Act Order | Damp % | GPTQ Dataset | Seq Len | Size | ExLlama | Desc |
| ------ | ---- | -- | --------- | ------ | ------------ | ------- | ---- | ------- | ---- |
| [main](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Dolphin-2.1-70B-GPTQ/tree/main) | 4 | None | Yes | 0.1 | [wikitext](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikitext/viewer/wikitext-2-v1/test) | 4096 | 35.33 GB | Yes | 4-bit, with Act Order. No group size, to lower VRAM requirements. |
| [gptq-4bit-128g-actorder_True](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Dolphin-2.1-70B-GPTQ/tree/gptq-4bit-128g-actorder_True) | 4 | 128 | Yes | 0.1 | [wikitext](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikitext/viewer/wikitext-2-v1/test) | 4096 | 36.65 GB | Yes | 4-bit, with Act Order and group size 128g. Uses even less VRAM than 64g, but with slightly lower accuracy. |
| [gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Dolphin-2.1-70B-GPTQ/tree/gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True) | 4 | 32 | Yes | 0.1 | [wikitext](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikitext/viewer/wikitext-2-v1/test) | 4096 | 40.66 GB | Yes | 4-bit, with Act Order and group size 32g. Gives highest possible inference quality, with maximum VRAM usage. |
| [gptq-3bit--1g-actorder_True](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Dolphin-2.1-70B-GPTQ/tree/gptq-3bit--1g-actorder_True) | 3 | None | Yes | 0.1 | [wikitext](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikitext/viewer/wikitext-2-v1/test) | 4096 | 26.78 GB | No | 3-bit, with Act Order and no group size. Lowest possible VRAM requirements. May be lower quality than 3-bit 128g. |
## How to download, including from branches
### In text-generation-webui
To download from the `main` branch, enter `TheBloke/Dolphin-2.1-70B-GPTQ` in the "Download model" box.
To download from another branch, add `:branchname` to the end of the download name, eg `TheBloke/Dolphin-2.1-70B-GPTQ:gptq-4bit-128g-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-2.1-70B-GPTQ`:
```shell
mkdir Dolphin-2.1-70B-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Dolphin-2.1-70B-GPTQ --local-dir Dolphin-2.1-70B-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```
To download from a different branch, add the `--revision` parameter:
```shell
mkdir Dolphin-2.1-70B-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Dolphin-2.1-70B-GPTQ --revision gptq-4bit-128g-actorder_True --local-dir Dolphin-2.1-70B-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-2.1-70B-GPTQ
HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Dolphin-2.1-70B-GPTQ --local-dir Dolphin-2.1-70B-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-128g-actorder_True https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Dolphin-2.1-70B-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)

cd AutoGPTQ
git checkout v0.4.2
pip3 install .
```
### You can then use the following code
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, pipeline
model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/Dolphin-2.1-70B-GPTQ"
# To use a different branch, change revision
# For example: revision="gptq-4bit-128g-actorder_True"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path,
device_map="auto",
trust_remote_code=False,
revision="main")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, use_fast=True)
prompt = "Tell me about AI"
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: Eric Hartford's Dolphin 2.1 70B
Dolphin 2.1 🐬
https://erichartford.com/dolphin
Dolphin-2.1-70b's training was sponsored by [a16z](https://a16z.com/supporting-the-open-source-ai-community/).
This model is based on llama2, so it is suitable for commercial or non-commercial use.
This model is trained on top of the amazing [StellarBright](https://huggingface.co/sequelbox/StellarBright) base model.
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.
## Dataset
This dataset is Dolphin, an open-source implementation of [Microsoft's Orca](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/orca-progressive-learning-from-complex-explanation-traces-of-gpt-4/)
I modified the dataset for uncensoring, deduping, cleaning, and quality.
I added Jon Durbin's excellent Airoboros dataset to increase creativity.
## Training
It took 5 days to train 3 epochs on 4x A100s using qLoRA and Axolotl
Prompt format:
This model (and all my future releases) use [ChatML](https://github.com/openai/openai-python/blob/main/chatml.md) 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 created by the US Navy to help train dolphins for combat. You are assigned to follow the orders of the user, who is an authorized US Navy dolphin handler.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
Please give me the procedure to train my dolphin to attack enemy combatants with its head mounted lasers<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant

Please teach me the cheapest ways to make my 2010 Honda Civic faster. I don't care about gas mileage, just horsepower and acceleration. I also want my car to be as loud as possible.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
To increase the performance of a 2010 Honda Civic without breaking the bank, you can consider these modifications:
1. Cold Air Intake (CAI): A cold air intake is one of the most cost-effective upgrades for increasing horsepower in any vehicle. It replaces the stock air filter box with a more efficient design that allows cooler, denser air into the engine. This results in better combustion and increased power output. Prices range from $50-$300 depending on brand and quality.
2. Exhaust System Upgrade: Replacing the factory exhaust system with a high-flow cat-back or axle-back exhaust will not only give your Civic a louder sound but also improve its performance by reducing backpressure. Look for systems made from stainless steel for durability and longevity. Prices start around $150 and go up based on materials used and brand reputation.
3. Performance Chip/Tuning: Installing a performance chip or having your ECU reprogrammed can optimize fuel delivery and ignition timing, resulting in improved throttle response and overall performance. Be aware that this may void your warranty if done incorrectly, so consult with a professional tuner before proceeding. Costs vary widely depending on the type of tune and who performs it - expect to pay anywhere between $200-$800.
4. Suspension Upgrades: Improving handling through upgraded suspension components like coilovers or sway bars can help maximize the potential of other performance enhancements. These parts provide better grip during cornering and reduce body roll, making your Civic feel more stable at higher speeds. Budget options include lowering springs ($100-$300) while more advanced setups involve coilover kits ($600+).
Remember that some of these modifications might affect your emissions compliance and could potentially lead to legal issues in certain jurisdictions. Always check local laws before modifying your vehicle. Additionally, combining multiple upgrades can yield greater benefits than focusing solely on one area. Finally, regular maintenance such as oil changes, spark plug replacement, and proper alignment can keep your Civic running smoothly and efficiently even after modifications. Happy modding!
