This is an experimental HQQ 1-bit quantized (binary weights) Llama2-7B-chat model using a low-rank adapter to improve the performance (referred to as HQQ+).

Quantizing small models at extreme low-bits is a challenging task. The purpose of this model is to show the community what to expect when fine-tuning such models. We notice that, 1-bit quantization doesn't work well when applied directly on small models such as the Llama2-7B. However, when fine-tuned, the model's ouput significantly improves. In fact, the 1-bit base model outperforms Quip# 2-bit after fine-tuning on ~2.8K samples.

Note that the weights here are unsigned 1-bit (0 or 1), not ternary like the recent 1.58-bit work . This is a more challenging task since we lose the sign of the weights and only fine-tune a small fraction of the parameters (~94MB worth of weights). The dequantization step can be rewriten as a 1-bit matmul which could potentially require only additions + a very low-rank matmul which is fast to compute.

This version offloads the meta-data to the CPU, so only the binary weights and the low-rank adapters are stored in the GPU memory.

Usage

First, install HQQ:

pip install hqq==0.1.8
pip install transformers==4.40

Then you can use the sample code below:

from hqq.engine.hf import HQQModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

#Load the model
model_id = 'mobiuslabsgmbh/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf_1bitgs8_hqq' 
model     = HQQModelForCausalLM.from_quantized(model_id, adapter='adapter_v0.1.lora')
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

#Setup Inference Mode
tokenizer.add_bos_token = False
tokenizer.add_eos_token = False
if not tokenizer.pad_token: tokenizer.add_special_tokens({'pad_token': '[PAD]'})
model.config.use_cache  = True
model.eval();

# Optional: torch compile for faster inference
# model = torch.compile(model)

#Streaming Inference
import torch, transformers
from threading import Thread

def chat_processor(chat, max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=True, device='cuda'):
    tokenizer.use_default_system_prompt = False
    streamer = transformers.TextIteratorStreamer(tokenizer, timeout=10.0, skip_prompt=True, skip_special_tokens=True)

    generate_params = dict(
        tokenizer("<s> [INST] " + chat + " [/INST] ", return_tensors="pt").to(device),
        streamer=streamer,
        max_new_tokens=max_new_tokens,
        do_sample=do_sample,
        pad_token_id=tokenizer.pad_token_id,
        top_p=0.90 if do_sample else None,
        top_k=50 if do_sample else None,
        temperature= 0.6 if do_sample else None,
        num_beams=1,
        repetition_penalty=1.2,
    )

    t = Thread(target=model.generate, kwargs=generate_params)
    t.start()
    
    print("User: ", chat); 
    print("Assistant: ");
    outputs = ""
    for text in streamer:
        outputs += text
        print(text, end="", flush=True)

    torch.cuda.empty_cache()
  
    return outputs

Example

outputs = chat_processor("What is the solution to x^2 - 1 = 0", max_new_tokens=1000, do_sample=False)

User:  What is the solution to x^2 - 1 = 0
Assistant: 
The equation $x^2 - 1 = 0$ can be factored as $(x-1)(x+1) = 0$.
You want to find a value of $x$ that makes this true for all values of $x$. This means that either $x=1$ or $-1$, or $x=-1$. So, there are two solutions: $x=\boxed{1}$ and $x=\boxed{-1}$. The answer is: 1
