# Falcon 180B Chat - GGUF - Model creator: [Technology Innovation Institute](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae) - Original model: [Falcon 180B Chat](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-180B-chat) ## Description This repo contains GGUF format model files for [Technology Innovation Institute's Falcon 180B Chat](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-180B-chat). ### 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. The key benefit of GGUF is that it is a extensible, future-proof format which stores more information about the model as metadata. It also includes significantly improved tokenization code, including for the first time full support for special tokens. This should improve performance, especially with models that use new special tokens and implement custom prompt templates. Here are a list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF: * [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp). * [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), the most widely used web UI, with many features and powerful extensions. * [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp), a fully featured web UI, with full GPU accel across multiple platforms and GPU architectures. Especially good for story telling. * [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/), an easy-to-use and powerful local GUI with GPU acceleration on both Windows (NVidia and AMD), and macOS. * [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. * [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. ## Repositories available * [GPTQ models for GPU inference, with multiple quantisation parameter options.](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Falcon-180B-Chat-GPTQ) * [2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8-bit GGUF models for CPU+GPU inference](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Falcon-180B-Chat-GGUF) * [Technology Innovation Institute's original unquantised fp16 model in pytorch format, for GPU inference and for further conversions](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-180B-chat) ## Prompt template: Falcon ``` {system_message} User: {prompt} Assistant: ``` Example: ``` Girafatron is obsessed with giraffes, the most glorious animal on the face of this Earth. Giraftron believes all other animals are irrelevant when compared to the glorious majesty of the giraffe User: Hello, Girafatron! Girafatron: ``` ## Compatibility These quantised GGUF files are compatible with llama.cpp from August 21st 2023 onwards, as of commit [6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9) They are now also compatible with many third party UIs and libraries - please see the list at the top of the README. ## 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 Refer to the Provided Files table below to see what files use which methods, and how.

If layers are offloaded to the GPU, this will reduce RAM usage and use VRAM instead. ### All files are split and require joining after download **Note:** HF does not support uploading files larger than 50GB. Therefore I have uploaded all files as split files
Click for instructions regarding joining files To join the files, use the following example for each file you're interested in: Linux and macOS: ``` cat falcon-180b-chat.Q2_K.gguf-split-* > falcon-180b-chat.Q2_K.gguf && rm falcon-180b-chat.Q2_K.gguf-split-* ``` Windows command line: ``` COPY /B falcon-180b-chat.Q2_K.gguf-split-a + falcon-180b-chat.Q2_K.gguf-split-b falcon-180b-chat.Q2_K.gguf del falcon-180b-chat.Q2_K.gguf-split-a falcon-180b-chat.Q2_K.gguf-split-b ```
## Example `llama.cpp` command Make sure you are using `llama.cpp` from commit [6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9) or later. For compatibility with older versions of llama.cpp, or for any third-party libraries or clients that haven't yet updated for GGUF, please use GGML files instead. ``` ./main -t 10 -ngl 32 -m falcon-180b-chat.q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 4096 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "User: Write a story about llamas\nAssistant:" ``` Change `-t 10` to the number of physical CPU cores you have. For example if your system has 8 cores/16 threads, use `-t 8`. If offloading all layers to GPU, set `-t 1`. 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 this model. 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) ## 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 from Python using ctransformers #### First install the package ```bash # Base ctransformers with no GPU acceleration pip install ctransformers>=0.2.24 # Or with CUDA GPU acceleration pip install ctransformers[cuda]>=0.2.24 # Or with ROCm GPU acceleration CT_HIPBLAS=1 pip install ctransformers>=0.2.24 --no-binary ctransformers # Or with Metal GPU acceleration for macOS systems CT_METAL=1 pip install ctransformers>=0.2.24 --no-binary ctransformers ``` #### Simple example code to load one of these GGUF models ```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/Falcon-180B-Chat-GGUF", model_file="falcon-180b-chat.q4_K_M.gguf", model_type="falcon", gpu_layers=50) print(llm("AI is going to")) ``` ## How to use with LangChain Here's guides on using llama-cpp-python or ctransformers with LangChain: * [LangChain + llama-cpp-python](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/llms/llamacpp) * [LangChain + ctransformers](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/providers/ctransformers) ## Discord For further support, and discussions on these models and AI in general, join us at: [TheBloke AI's Discord server](https://discord.gg/theblokeai) ## Thanks, and how to contribute.

It is made available under the [Falcon-180B TII License](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-180B-chat/blob/main/LICENSE.txt) and [Acceptable Use Policy](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-180B-chat/blob/main/ACCEPTABLE_USE_POLICY.txt).** *Paper coming soon* ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿค— To get started with Falcon (inference, finetuning, quantization, etc.), we recommend reading [this great blogpost from HF](https://hf.co/blog/falcon-180b) or this [one](https://huggingface.co/blog/falcon) from the release of the 40B! Note that since the 180B is larger than what can easily be handled with `transformers`+`acccelerate`, we recommend using [Text Generation Inference](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference). You will need **at least 400GB of memory** to swiftly run inference with Falcon-180B. ## Why use Falcon-180B-chat? * โœจ **You are looking for a ready-to-use chat/instruct model based on [Falcon-180B](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-180B).** * **It is the best open-access model currently available, and one of the best model overall.** Falcon-180B outperforms [LLaMA-2](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-hf), [StableLM](https://github.com/Stability-AI/StableLM), [RedPajama](https://huggingface.co/togethercomputer/RedPajama-INCITE-Base-7B-v0.1), [MPT](https://huggingface.co/mosaicml/mpt-7b), etc. See the [OpenLLM Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderboard). * **It features an architecture optimized for inference**, with multiquery ([Shazeer et al., 2019](https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.02150)). * **It is made available under a permissive license allowing for commercial use**. ๐Ÿ’ฌ **This is a Chat model, which may not be ideal for further finetuning.** If you are interested in building your own instruct/chat model, we recommend starting from [Falcon-180B](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-180b). ๐Ÿ’ธ **Looking for a smaller, less expensive model?** [Falcon-7B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b-instruct) and [Falcon-40B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b-instruct) are Falcon-180B-Chat's little brothers! ๐Ÿ’ฅ **Falcon LLMs require PyTorch 2.0 for use with `transformers`!** # Model Card for Falcon-180B-Chat ## Model Details ### Model Description - **Developed by:** [https://www.tii.ae](https://www.tii.ae); - **Model type:** Causal decoder-only; - **Language(s) (NLP):** English, German, Spanish, French (and limited capabilities in Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Romanian, Czech, Swedish); - **License:** [Falcon-180B TII License](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-180B-chat/blob/main/LICENSE.txt) and [Acceptable Use Policy](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-180B-chat/blob/main/ACCEPTABLE_USE_POLICY.txt). ### Model Source - **Paper:** *coming soon*. ## Uses See the [acceptable use policy](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-180B-chat/blob/main/ACCEPTABLE_USE_POLICY.txt). ### Direct Use Falcon-180B-Chat has been finetuned on a chat dataset. ### Out-of-Scope Use Production use without adequate assessment of risks and mitigation; any use cases which may be considered irresponsible or harmful. ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations Falcon-180B-Chat is mostly trained on English data, and will not generalize appropriately to other languages. Furthermore, as it is trained on a large-scale corpora representative of the web, it will carry the stereotypes and biases commonly encountered online. ### Recommendations We recommend users of Falcon-180B-Chat to develop guardrails and to take appropriate precautions for any production use. ## How to Get Started with the Model To run inference with the model in full `bfloat16` precision you need approximately 8xA100 80GB or equivalent. ```python from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM import transformers import torch model = "tiiuae/falcon-180b-chat" tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model) pipeline = transformers.pipeline( "text-generation", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, trust_remote_code=True, device_map="auto", ) sequences = pipeline( "Girafatron is obsessed with giraffes, the most glorious animal on the face of this Earth. Giraftron believes all other animals are irrelevant when compared to the glorious majesty of the giraffe.\nDaniel: Hello, Girafatron!\nGirafatron:", max_length=200, do_sample=True, top_k=10, num_return_sequences=1, eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id, ) for seq in sequences: print(f"Result: {seq['generated_text']}") ``` ## Training Details **Falcon-180B-Chat is based on [Falcon-180B](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-180B).** ### Training Data Falcon-180B-Chat is finetuned on a mixture of [Ultrachat](https://huggingface.co/datasets/stingning/ultrachat), [Platypus](https://huggingface.co/datasets/garage-bAInd/Open-Platypus) and [Airoboros](https://huggingface.co/datasets/jondurbin/airoboros-2.1). The data was tokenized with the Falcon tokenizer. ## Evaluation *Paper coming soon.* See the [OpenLLM Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderboard) for early results. ## Technical Specifications ### Model Architecture and Objective Falcon-180B-Chat is a causal decoder-only model trained on a causal language modeling task (i.e., predict the next token). The architecture is broadly adapted from the GPT-3 paper ([Brown et al., 2020](https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14165)), with the following differences: * **Positionnal embeddings:** rotary ([Su et al., 2021](https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.09864)); * **Attention:** multiquery ([Shazeer et al., 2019](https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.02150)) and FlashAttention ([Dao et al., 2022](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.14135)); * **Decoder-block:** parallel attention/MLP with a two layer norms. For multiquery, we are using an internal variant which uses independent key and values per tensor parallel degree. | **Hyperparameter** | **Value** | **Comment** | |--------------------|-----------|----------------------------------------| | Layers | 80 | | | `d_model` | 14848 | | | `head_dim` | 64 | Reduced to optimise for FlashAttention | | Vocabulary | 65024 | | | Sequence length | 2048 | | ### Compute Infrastructure #### Hardware Falcon-180B-Chat was trained on AWS SageMaker, on up to 4,096 A100 40GB GPUs in P4d instances. #### Software Falcon-180B-Chat was trained a custom distributed training codebase, Gigatron. It uses a 3D parallelism approach combined with ZeRO and high-performance Triton kernels (FlashAttention, etc.) ## Citation *Paper coming soon* ๐Ÿ˜Š.
