# Koala: A Dialogue Model for Academic Research
This repo contains the weights of the Koala 13B model produced at Berkeley. It is the result of combining the diffs from https://huggingface.co/young-geng/koala with the original Llama 13B model.
This version has then been converted to HF format.
## My Koala repos
I have the following Koala model repositories available:
**13B models:**
* [Unquantized 13B model in HF format](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/koala-13B-HF)
* [GPTQ quantized 4bit 13B model in `pt` and `safetensors` formats](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/koala-13B-GPTQ-4bit-128g)
* [4-bit, 5-bit and 8-bit GGML models for `llama.cpp`](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/koala-13B-GGML)
**7B models:**
* [Unquantized 7B model in HF format](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/koala-7B-HF)
* [Unquantized 7B model in GGML format for llama.cpp](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/koala-7b-ggml-unquantized)
* [GPTQ quantized 4bit 7B model in `pt` and `safetensors` formats](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/koala-7B-GPTQ-4bit-128g)
* [4-bit, 5-bit and 8-bit GGML models for `llama.cpp`](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/koala-7B-GGML)
## How the Koala delta weights were merged
The Koala delta weights were merged using the following commands:
```
git clone https://github.com/young-geng/EasyLM
git clone https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/llama-13b
mkdir koala_diffs && cd koala_diffs && wget https://huggingface.co/young-geng/koala/resolve/main/koala_13b_diff_v2
cd EasyLM
PYTHON_PATH="${PWD}:$PYTHONPATH" python \
-m EasyLM.models.llama.convert_torch_to_easylm \
--checkpoint_dir=/content/llama-13b \
--output_file=/content/llama-13b-LM \
--streaming=True
PYTHON_PATH="${PWD}:$PYTHONPATH" python \
-m EasyLM.scripts.diff_checkpoint --recover_diff=True \
--load_base_checkpoint='params::/content/llama-13b-LM' \
--load_target_checkpoint='params::/content/koala_diffs/koala_13b_diff_v2' \
--output_file=/content/koala_13b.diff.weights \
--streaming=True
PYTHON_PATH="${PWD}:$PYTHONPATH" python \
-m EasyLM.models.llama.convert_easylm_to_hf --model_size=13b \
--output_dir=/content/koala-13B-HF \
--load_checkpoint='params::/content/koala_13b.diff.weights' \

## Thanks, and how to contribute.
Thanks to the [chirper.ai](https://chirper.ai) team!
I've had a lot of people ask if they can contribute. I enjoy providing models and helping people, and would love to be able to spend even more time doing it, as well as expanding into new projects like fine tuning/training.
If you're able and willing to contribute it will be most gratefully received and will help me to keep providing more models, and to start work on new AI projects.
Donaters will get priority support on any and all AI/LLM/model questions and requests, access to a private Discord room, plus other benefits.
