# Synthia 13B - GGUF
- Model creator: [Migel Tissera](https://huggingface.co/migtissera)
- Original model: [Synthia 13B](https://huggingface.co/migtissera/Synthia-13B)
## Description
This repo contains GGUF format model files for [Migel Tissera's Synthia 13B](https://huggingface.co/migtissera/Synthia-13B).
### About GGUF
GGUF is a new format introduced by the llama.cpp team on August 21st 2023. It is a replacement for GGML, which is no longer supported by llama.cpp. GGUF offers numerous advantages over GGML, such as better tokenisation, and support for special tokens. It is also supports metadata, and is designed to be extensible.
Here is an incomplate list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF:
* [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp). The source project for GGUF. Offers a CLI and a server option.
* [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), the most widely used web UI, with many features and powerful extensions. Supports GPU acceleration.
* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp), a fully featured web UI, with GPU accel across all platforms and GPU architectures. Especially good for story telling.
* [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/), an easy-to-use and powerful local GUI for Windows and macOS (Silicon), with GPU acceleration.
* [LoLLMS Web UI](https://github.com/ParisNeo/lollms-webui), a great web UI with many interesting and unique features, including a full model library for easy model selection.
* [Faraday.dev](https://faraday.dev/), an attractive and easy to use character-based chat GUI for Windows and macOS (both Silicon and Intel), with GPU acceleration.
* [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers), a Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible AI server.
* [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python), a Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible API server.
* [candle](https://github.com/huggingface/candle), a Rust ML framework with a focus on performance, including GPU support, and ease of use.

## Explanation of quantisation 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

## How to download GGUF files
**Note for manual downloaders:** You almost never want to clone the entire repo! Multiple different quantisation formats are provided, and most users only want to pick and download a single file.
The following clients/libraries will automatically download models for you, providing a list of available models to choose from:
- LM Studio
- LoLLMS Web UI
- Faraday.dev
### In `text-generation-webui`
Under Download Model, you can enter the model repo: TheBloke/Synthia-13B-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: synthia-13b.q4_K_M.gguf.
Then click Download.
### On the command line, including multiple files at once
I recommend using the `huggingface-hub` Python library:
```shell
pip3 install huggingface-hub>=0.17.1
```
Then you can download any individual model file to the current directory, at high speed, with a command like this:
```shell
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Synthia-13B-GGUF synthia-13b.q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```
More advanced huggingface-cli download usage
You can also download multiple files at once with a pattern:
```shell
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Synthia-13B-GGUF --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False --include='*Q4_K*gguf'
```
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
HUGGINGFACE_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Synthia-13B-GGUF synthia-13b.q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```
Windows CLI users: Use `set HUGGINGFACE_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1` before running the download command.
## Example `llama.cpp` command
Make sure you are using `llama.cpp` from commit [d0cee0d36d5be95a0d9088b674dbb27354107221](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/d0cee0d36d5be95a0d9088b674dbb27354107221) or later.
```shell
./main -ngl 32 -m synthia-13b.q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 4096 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "SYSTEM: {system_message}\nUSER: {prompt}\nASSISTANT:"
```
Change `-ngl 32` to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.
Change `-c 4096` to the desired sequence length. For extended sequence models - eg 8K, 16K, 32K - the necessary RoPE scaling parameters are read from the GGUF file and set by llama.cpp automatically.
If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the `-p ` argument with `-i -ins`
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)

## Example Output
```
You: How is a rocket launched from the surface of the earth to Low Earth Orbit?
A rocket is launched from the surface of the Earth to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) by utilizing the principles of rocketry. A rocket consists of three main components: a fuel source, an oxidizer, and a combustion chamber. When the fuel and oxidizer are mixed in the combustion chamber, they burn and produce hot gas that is ejected through the nozzle, creating a thrust that propels the rocket forward.
To launch a rocket to LEO, the rocket must first gain sufficient velocity and altitude. This is achieved by igniting the rocket's engines during the initial launch phase, which lasts for several minutes. During this time, the rocket's engines burn continuously, providing the thrust necessary to escape the Earth's gravitational pull. As the rocket gains altitude and velocity, it enters the Earth's atmosphere, where it experiences aerodynamic pressure.
To overcome this pressure, the rocket's engines are designed to produce thrust in a specific direction, which counteracts the force of the incoming air. This is known as aerodynamic control. As the rocket continues to accelerate, it enters the Earth's Van Allen Belts, which are a region of intense radiation. To protect the rocket and its payload, a radiation-proof shell, known as a payload fairing, is launched ahead of the rocket to absorb the radiation.
Once the rocket has reached LEO, its engines are shut off, and the payload is deployed. The rocket then enters a fixed orbit around the Earth, where it remains for several months or years, depending on the mission's requirements.
Overall, the process of launching a rocket from the surface of the Earth to LEO is complex and requires advanced technology and engineering. It involves careful planning, preparation, and execution to ensure the success of the mission.
You: What's the velocity required?
The velocity required to place a rocket into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) depends on several factors, including the mass of the rocket and its payload, the altitude of the orbit, and the gravitational pull of the Earth. Generally, a rocket must reach a speed of around 7.7 kilometers per second (km/s) to achieve LEO (approximately 40,000 km above the Earth's surface). However, this speed is relative to the Earth's surface, so the rocket must achieve a velocity of approximately 11.3 km/s relative to the Earth's center of mass. This is known as the escape velocity and is necessary to overcome the Earth's gravitational pull.
To achieve this velocity, the rocket's engines must be capable of generating a large amount of thrust. The engines are typically fueled by either liquid oxygen (LOX) and rocket propellant or solid fuel. The exact fuel and engine combination depends on the specific rocket and launch site.
Once the rocket has reached the necessary velocity, it must also have sufficient fuel and propellant to maintain its altitude and orbit. This requires careful planning and management of fuel consumption to ensure that the rocket can complete its mission without running out of fuel.
Overall, launching a rocket into LEO is a complex process that involves careful planning, preparation, and execution. Achieving the necessary velocity and maintaining the rocket's orbit requires a high level of technical expertise and precision.
