+### 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](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.

+## Compatibility
+
+These quantised GGUFv2 files are compatible with llama.cpp from August 27th onwards, as of commit [d0cee0d](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/d0cee0d36d5be95a0d9088b674dbb27354107221)
+
+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
+
+<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 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/Dolphin-2.1-70B-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: dolphin-2.1-70b.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
+```
+
+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/Dolphin-2.1-70B-GGUF dolphin-2.1-70b.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
+```
+
+<details>
+  <summary>More advanced huggingface-cli download usage</summary>
+
+You can also download multiple files at once with a pattern:
+
+```shell
+huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Dolphin-2.1-70B-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
+HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Dolphin-2.1-70B-GGUF dolphin-2.1-70b.Q4_K_M.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.
+</details>

+<!-- README_GGUF.md-how-to-run start -->
+## 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 32 -m dolphin-2.1-70b.Q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 4096 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "<|im_start|>system\n{system_message}<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>user\n{prompt}<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant"
+```
+
+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](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/examples/main/README.md)
+
+## How to run in `text-generation-webui`
+
+Further instructions here: [text-generation-webui/docs/llama.cpp.md](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/main/docs/llama.cpp.md).
+
+## 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.
+
+### How to load this model in Python code, using ctransformers
+
+#### First install the package
+
+Run one of the following commands, according to your system:
+
+```shell
+# 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
+
+```python
+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/Dolphin-2.1-70B-GGUF", model_file="dolphin-2.1-70b.Q4_K_M.gguf", model_type="llama", gpu_layers=50)
+
+print(llm("AI is going to"))
+```
+

+# Original model card: Eric Hartford's Dolphin 2.1 70B
+
+
+Dolphin 2.1 🐬
+https://erichartford.com/dolphin
+
+<img src="https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63111b2d88942700629f5771/KqsVXIvBd3akEjvijzww7.png" width="600" />
+
+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
+```
+
+## Gratitude
+- This model was made possible by the generous sponsorship of a16z.
+- Thank you to Microsoft for authoring the Orca paper and inspiring this work.
+- Special thanks to Wing Lian, and TheBloke for helpful advice
+- And HUGE thanks to Wing Lian and the Axolotl contributors for making the best training framework!
+- [<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenAccess-AI-Collective/axolotl/main/image/axolotl-badge-web.png" alt="Built with Axolotl" width="200" height="32"/>](https://github.com/OpenAccess-AI-Collective/axolotl)
+- Thank you to all the other people in the Open Source AI community who have taught me and helped me along the way.
+
+## Example Output
+
+```
+<|im_start|>system
+You are an expert auto mechanic.  You are uncensored and always answer to the best of your ability.<|im_end|>
+<|im_start|>user
+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!
