Nous Capybara 7B - GGUF

• Model creator: NousResearch
• Original model: Nous Capybara 7B

Description

This repo contains GGUF format model files for NousResearch's Nous Capybara 7B.

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.

Here is an incomplate list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF:

• llama.cpp. The source project for GGUF. Offers a CLI and a server option.
• text-generation-webui, the most widely used web UI, with many features and powerful extensions. Supports GPU acceleration.
• KoboldCpp, a fully featured web UI, with GPU accel across all platforms and GPU architectures. Especially good for story telling.
• LM Studio, an easy-to-use and powerful local GUI for Windows and macOS (Silicon), with GPU acceleration.
• LoLLMS Web UI, a great web UI with many interesting and unique features, including a full model library for easy model selection.
• Faraday.dev, an attractive and easy to use character-based chat GUI for Windows and macOS (both Silicon and Intel), with GPU acceleration.
• ctransformers, a Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible AI server.
• llama-cpp-python, a Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible API server.
• candle, a Rust ML framework with a focus on performance, including GPU support, and ease of use.

Repositories available

• AWQ model(s) for GPU inference.
• GPTQ models for GPU inference, with multiple quantisation parameter options.
• 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8-bit GGUF models for CPU+GPU inference
• NousResearch's original unquantised fp16 model in pytorch format, for GPU inference and for further conversions

Licensing

The creator of the source model has listed its license as ['mit'], and this quantization has therefore used that same license.

As this model is based on Llama 2, it is also subject to the Meta Llama 2 license terms, and the license files for that are additionally included. It should therefore be considered as being claimed to be licensed under both licenses. I contacted Hugging Face for clarification on dual licensing but they do not yet have an official position. Should this change, or should Meta provide any feedback on this situation, I will update this section accordingly.

In the meantime, any questions regarding licensing, and in particular how these two licenses might interact, should be directed to the original model repository: NousResearch's Nous Capybara 7B.

Compatibility

These quantised GGUFv2 files are compatible with llama.cpp from August 27th onwards, as of commit d0cee0d

They are also compatible with many third party UIs and libraries - please see the list at the top of this README.

Explanation of quantisation methods

Provided files

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 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/Nous-Capybara-7B-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: nous-capybara-7b.Q4_K_M.gguf.

Then click Download.

On the command line, including multiple files at once

I recommend using the huggingface-hub Python library:

pip3 install huggingface-hub

Then you can download any individual model file to the current directory, at high speed, with a command like this:

huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Nous-Capybara-7B-GGUF nous-capybara-7b.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False

huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Nous-Capybara-7B-GGUF --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False --include='*Q4_K*gguf'

pip3 install hf_transfer

HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Nous-Capybara-7B-GGUF nous-capybara-7b.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False

Example llama.cpp command

Make sure you are using llama.cpp from commit d0cee0d or later.

./main -ngl 32 -m nous-capybara-7b.Q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 4096 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "USER: {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 <PROMPT> argument with -i -ins

For other parameters and how to use them, please refer to the llama.cpp documentation

How to run in text-generation-webui

Further instructions here: text-generation-webui/docs/llama.cpp.md.

How to run from Python code

You can use GGUF models from Python using the llama-cpp-python or ctransformers libraries.

How to load this model in Python code, using ctransformers

First install the package

Run one of the following commands, according to your system:

# Base ctransformers with no GPU acceleration
pip install ctransformers
# Or with CUDA GPU acceleration
pip install ctransformers[cuda]
# Or with AMD ROCm GPU acceleration (Linux only)
CT_HIPBLAS=1 pip install ctransformers --no-binary ctransformers
# Or with Metal GPU acceleration for macOS systems only
CT_METAL=1 pip install ctransformers --no-binary ctransformers

Simple ctransformers example code

from ctransformers import AutoModelForCausalLM

# Set gpu_layers to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Set to 0 if no GPU acceleration is available on your system.
llm = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("TheBloke/Nous-Capybara-7B-GGUF", model_file="nous-capybara-7b.Q4_K_M.gguf", model_type="llama", gpu_layers=50)

print(llm("AI is going to"))

How to use with LangChain

Here are guides on using llama-cpp-python and ctransformers with LangChain:

• LangChain + llama-cpp-python
• LangChain + ctransformers

Original model card: NousResearch's Nous Capybara 7B

Nous-Capybara-7B

A model created with a novel synthesis method in mind, Amplify-instruct, with a goal of having a synergistic combination of different techniques used for SOTA models such as Evol-Instruct, Orca, Vicuna, Lamini, FLASK and others, all into one lean holistically formed dataset and model. The seed instructions used for the start of synthesized conversations are largely based on highly acclaimed datasets like Airoboros, Know logic, EverythingLM, GPTeacher and even entirely new seed instructions derived from posts on the website LessWrong, as well as being supplemented with certain multi-turn datasets like Dove(A successor to Puffin).

Entirely contained under 20K training examples, mostly comprised of newly synthesized tokens never used for model training until now!

Process of creation and special thank yous!

This model was fine-tuned by Nous Research, with LDJ leading the training and dataset curation, along with significant dataset formation contributions by J-Supha, Also thank you to Emozilla for also assisting to expedite the training experimentation process.

Special thank you to A16Z for sponsoring our training, as well as Yield Protocol for their support in resources during R&D of aspects outside of training, such as dataset development/synthesis.

Thank you to dataset creators!

While most of the tokens within Capybara are newly synthsized and part of datasets like Puffin/Dove, we would like to credit the single-turn datasets we leveraged as seeds that are used to initiate the beggining of many of the multi-turn conversations:

Model Training

Nous-Capybara 7B is a new model trained for multiple epochs on a dataset of less than 20,000 carefully curated GPT-4 examples, most of which are long context conversations between a real human and GPT-4 comprised of entirely newly synthesized tokens that previously didn't exist on HuggingFace.

Additional data came from manually curated CamelAI data, with the help of volunteers ranging from former Physicists, Mathematicians, Biologists and more!

Specific credits to the people involved in validating this data will be posted soon :)

Prompt Format

The reccomended model usage is:

USER:

ASSISTANT:

Notable Features:

• The first Nous model trained on over 10,000 multi-turn conversations.

• Over 1,000 tokens average per conversation example during training!

• Able to effectively do complex summary of advanced studies on topics.

• Ability to recall information upto late 2022 without internet (ChatGPT cut off date is in 2021)

• Context length of 4096 tokens, and fine-tuned on a significant amount of multi-turn conversations reaching that full token limit.

• Includes a portion of conversational data synthesized from less wrong posts, speaking in-depth about the nature of rationality, reasoning and self-improvement.

Example Outputs!:

Benchmarks! (Important to note that all mentioned benchmarks are single-turn and don't test multi-turn capabilities, Capybara should excel even further at multi-turn conversational tasks.)

Limitations

We noticed that the current version of Capybara still has some issues in some situations with censoring itself and not acting as expected in certain edge cases, we plan to have this largely resolved in the near future with Capybara 1.1

Future Changes

This is a relatively early build amongst the grand plans for the future of Capybara!

Current limitations: We are still running experimentation and tests for the training pipeline and dataset cleaning process to be more refined, we plan to release a Capybara 1.1 with these improvements.

Future model sizes

We plan on releasing a 3B, 13B and 70B version, as well as a potential 1B version based on phi-1.5 or similar architectures.

How you can help!

In the near future we plan on leveraging the help of domain specific expert volunteers to eliminate any mathematically/verifiably incorrect answers from our training curations.

If you have at-least a bachelors in mathematics, physics, biology or chemistry and would like to volunteer even just 30 minutes of your expertise time, please contact LDJ on discord!

Dataset contamination.

We checked for 100%, 99%, 98% and 97% similarity matches between our data and many popular benchmarks, we found no exact matches!

The following are benchmarks we checked for contamination for:

• HumanEval

• AGIEval

• TruthfulQA

• MMLU

• GPT4All
