## Explanation of quantisation methods
<details>
  <summary>Click to see details</summary>
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 folder.

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: LiteLLMs/Llama-3-8B-Web-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: Q4_0/Q4_0-00001-of-00009.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
```

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

```shell
huggingface-cli download LiteLLMs/Llama-3-8B-Web-GGUF Q4_0/Q4_0-00001-of-00009.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```

<details>
  <summary>More advanced huggingface-cli download usage (click to read)</summary>

You can also download multiple files at once with a pattern:

```shell
huggingface-cli download LiteLLMs/Llama-3-8B-Web-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 huggingface_hub[hf_transfer]
```

And set environment variable `HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER` to `1`:

```shell
HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download LiteLLMs/Llama-3-8B-Web-GGUF Q4_0/Q4_0-00001-of-00009.gguf --local-dir . --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.

## Example `llama.cpp` command

Make sure you are using `llama.cpp` from commit [d0cee0d](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/d0cee0d36d5be95a0d9088b674dbb27354107221) or later.

```shell
./main -ngl 35 -m Q4_0/Q4_0-00001-of-00009.gguf --color -c 8192 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "<PROMPT>"
```

Change `-ngl 32` to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.

Change `-c 8192` 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. Note that longer sequence lengths require much more resources, so you may need to reduce this value.

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](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/examples/main/README.md)

## How to run in `text-generation-webui`

Further instructions can be found in the text-generation-webui documentation, here: [text-generation-webui/docs/04 ‐ Model Tab.md](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/main/docs/04%20%E2%80%90%20Model%20Tab.md#llamacpp).

## How to run from Python code

You can use GGUF models from Python using the [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python) or [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers) libraries. Note that at the time of writing (Nov 27th 2023), ctransformers has not been updated for some time and is not compatible with some recent models. Therefore I recommend you use llama-cpp-python.

### How to load this model in Python code, using llama-cpp-python

For full documentation, please see: [llama-cpp-python docs](https://abetlen.github.io/llama-cpp-python/).

#### First install the package

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

```shell
# Base ctransformers with no GPU acceleration
pip install llama-cpp-python
# With NVidia CUDA acceleration
CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_CUBLAS=on" pip install llama-cpp-python
# Or with OpenBLAS acceleration
CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_BLAS=ON -DLLAMA_BLAS_VENDOR=OpenBLAS" pip install llama-cpp-python
# Or with CLBLast acceleration
CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_CLBLAST=on" pip install llama-cpp-python
# Or with AMD ROCm GPU acceleration (Linux only)
CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_HIPBLAS=on" pip install llama-cpp-python
# Or with Metal GPU acceleration for macOS systems only
CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_METAL=on" pip install llama-cpp-python
# In windows, to set the variables CMAKE_ARGS in PowerShell, follow this format; eg for NVidia CUDA:
$env:CMAKE_ARGS = "-DLLAMA_OPENBLAS=on"
pip install llama-cpp-python
```

#### Simple llama-cpp-python example code

```python
from llama_cpp import Llama
# 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 = Llama(
  model_path="./Q4_0/Q4_0-00001-of-00009.gguf",  # Download the model file first
  n_ctx=32768,  # The max sequence length to use - note that longer sequence lengths require much more resources
  n_threads=8,            # The number of CPU threads to use, tailor to your system and the resulting performance
  n_gpu_layers=35         # The number of layers to offload to GPU, if you have GPU acceleration available
)
# Simple inference example
output = llm(
  "<PROMPT>", # Prompt
  max_tokens=512,  # Generate up to 512 tokens
  stop=["</s>"],   # Example stop token - not necessarily correct for this specific model! Please check before using.
  echo=True        # Whether to echo the prompt
)
# Chat Completion API
llm = Llama(model_path="./Q4_0/Q4_0-00001-of-00009.gguf", chat_format="llama-2")  # Set chat_format according to the model you are using
llm.create_chat_completion(
    messages = [
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a story writing assistant."},
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Write a story about llamas."
        }
    ]
)
```

</div>

| `WebLlama` helps you build powerful agents, powered by Meta Llama 3, for browsing the web on your behalf | Our first model, [`Llama-3-8B-Web`](https://huggingface.co/McGill-NLP/Llama-3-8B-Web), surpasses GPT-4V (`*`zero-shot) by 18% on [`WebLINX`](https://mcgill-nlp.github.io/weblinx/) |
| :: | : |
|  Modeling  | We are build on top of cutting edge libraries for training Llama agents on web navigation tasks. We will provide training scripts, optimized configs, and instructions for training cutting-edge Llamas.                                                        |
| Evaluation | Benchmarks for testing Llama models on real-world web browsing. This include *human-centric* browsing through dialogue ([`WebLINX`](https://mcgill-nlp.github.io/weblinx/)), and we will soon add more benchmarks for automatic web navigation (e.g. Mind2Web). |
|    Data    | Our first model is finetuned on over 24K instances of web interactions, including `click`, `textinput`, `submit`, and dialogue acts. We want to continuously curate, compile and release datasets for training better agents.                                   |
| Deployment | We want to make it easy to integrate Llama models with existing deployment platforms, including Playwright, Selenium, and BrowserGym. We are currently focusing on making this a reality.                                                                       |


## Evaluation

We believe short demo videos showing how well an agent performs is NOT enough to judge an agent. Simply put, **we do not know if we have a good agent if we do not have good benchmarks.** We need to systematically evaluate agents on wide range of tasks, spanning from simple instruction-following web navigation to complex dialogue-guided browsing.

<img src="assets/WebLINXTestSplits.png" style="width: 100%; max-width:800px"/>

This is why we chose [`WebLINX`](https://mcgill-nlp.github.io/weblinx/) as our first benchmark. In addition to the training split, the benchmark has 4 real-world splits, with the goal of testing multiple dimensions of generalization: new websites, new domains, unseen geographic locations, and scenarios where the *user cannot see the screen and relies on dialogue*. It also covers 150 websites, including booking, shopping, writing, knowledge lookup, and even complex tasks like manipulating spreadsheets.

## Data

Although the 24K training examples from [`WebLINX`](https://mcgill-nlp.github.io/weblinx/) provide a good starting point for training a capable agent, we believe that more data is needed to train agents that can generalize to a wide range of web navigation tasks. Although it has been trained and evaluated on 150 websites, there are millions of websites that has never been seen by the model, with new ones being created every day.

**This motivates us to continuously curate, compile and release datasets for training better agents.** As an immediate next step, we will be incorporating `Mind2Web`'s training data into the equation, which also covers over 100 websites.


## Deployment

We are working hard to make it easy for you to deploy Llama web agents to the web. We want to integrate `WebLlama` with existing deployment platforms, including Microsoft's Playwright, ServiceNow Research's BrowserGym, and other partners.

## Code

The code for finetuning the model and evaluating it on the [`WebLINX`](https://mcgill-nlp.github.io/weblinx/) benchmark is available now. You can find the detailed instructions in [modeling](https://github.com/McGill-NLP/webllama/tree/main/modeling).
