# Llama 2 70B Chat - GGML
- Model creator: [Meta Llama 2](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama)
- Original model: [Llama 2 70B Chat](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-chat-hf)

## Description

This repo contains GGML format model files for [Meta Llama 2's Llama 2 70B Chat](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-chat-hf).

### Important note regarding GGML files.

The GGML format has now been superseded by GGUF. As of August 21st 2023, [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) no longer supports GGML models. Third party clients and libraries are expected to still support it for a time, but many may also drop support.

Please use the GGUF models instead.

### About GGML

GPU acceleration is now available for Llama 2 70B GGML files, with both CUDA (NVidia) and Metal (macOS). The following clients/libraries are known to work with these files, including with GPU acceleration:
* [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp), commit `e76d630` and later.
* [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), the most widely used web UI.
* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp), version 1.37 and later. A powerful GGML web UI, especially good for story telling.
* [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/), a fully featured local GUI with GPU acceleration for both Windows and macOS. Use 0.1.11 or later for macOS GPU acceleration with 70B models.

## Compatibility

### Works with llama.cpp [commit `e76d630`](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/e76d630df17e235e6b9ef416c45996765d2e36fb) until August 21st, 2023

Will not work with `llama.cpp` after commit [dadbed99e65252d79f81101a392d0d6497b86caa](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/dadbed99e65252d79f81101a392d0d6497b86caa).

For compatibility with latest llama.cpp, please use GGUF files instead.

Or one of the other tools and libraries listed above.

To use in llama.cpp, you must add `-gqa 8` argument.

For other UIs and libraries, please check the docs.

## Explanation of the new k-quant 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
* GGML_TYPE_Q8_K - "type-0" 8-bit quantization. Only used for quantizing intermediate results. The difference to the existing Q8_0 is that the block size is 256. All 2-6 bit dot products are implemented for this quantization type.

**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 run in `llama.cpp`

Make sure you are using `llama.cpp` from commit [dadbed99e65252d79f81101a392d0d6497b86caa](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/dadbed99e65252d79f81101a392d0d6497b86caa) or earlier.

For compatibility with latest llama.cpp, please use GGUF files instead.

I use the following command line; adjust for your tastes and needs:

```
./main -t 10 -ngl 40 -gqa 8 -m llama-2-70b-chat.ggmlv3.q4_K_M.bin --color -c 4096 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "[INST] <<SYS>>\nYou are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Always answer as helpfully as possible, while being safe.  Your answers should not include any harmful, unethical, racist, sexist, toxic, dangerous, or illegal content. Please ensure that your responses are socially unbiased and positive in nature. If a question does not make any sense, or is not factually coherent, explain why instead of answering something not correct. If you don't know the answer to a question, please don't share false information.\n<</SYS>>\nWrite a story about llamas[/INST]"
```
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 you are fully offloading the model to GPU, use `-t 1`

Change `-ngl 40` to the number of GPU layers you have VRAM for. Use `-ngl 100` to offload all layers to VRAM - if you have a 48GB card, or 2 x 24GB, or similar.  Otherwise you can partially offload as many as you have VRAM for, on one or more GPUs.

If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the `-p <PROMPT>` argument with `-i -ins`

Remember the `-gqa 8` argument, required for Llama 70B models.

Change `-c 4096` to the desired sequence length for this model. For models that use RoPE, add `--rope-freq-base 10000 --rope-freq-scale 0.5` for doubled context, or `--rope-freq-base 10000 --rope-freq-scale 0.25` for 4x context.

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)

# Original model card: Meta Llama 2's Llama 2 70B Chat

# **Llama 2**
Llama 2 is a collection of pretrained and fine-tuned generative text models ranging in scale from 7 billion to 70 billion parameters. This is the repository for the 70B fine-tuned model, optimized for dialogue use cases and converted for the Hugging Face Transformers format. Links to other models can be found in the index at the bottom.

## Model Details
*Note: Use of this model is governed by the Meta license. In order to download the model weights and tokenizer, please visit the [website](https://ai.meta.com/resources/models-and-libraries/llama-downloads/) and accept our License before requesting access here.*

Meta developed and publicly released the Llama 2 family of large language models (LLMs), a collection of pretrained and fine-tuned generative text models ranging in scale from 7 billion to 70 billion parameters. Our fine-tuned LLMs, called Llama-2-Chat, are optimized for dialogue use cases. Llama-2-Chat models outperform open-source chat models on most benchmarks we tested, and in our human evaluations for helpfulness and safety, are on par with some popular closed-source models like ChatGPT and PaLM.

**Model Developers** Meta

**Variations** Llama 2 comes in a range of parameter sizes — 7B, 13B, and 70B — as well as pretrained and fine-tuned variations.

**Input** Models input text only.

**Output** Models generate text only.

**Model Architecture** Llama 2 is an auto-regressive language model that uses an optimized transformer architecture. The tuned versions use supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) to align to human preferences for helpfulness and safety.


||Training Data|Params|Content Length|GQA|Tokens|LR|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|Llama 2|*A new mix of publicly available online data*|7B|4k|&#10007;|2.0T|3.0 x 10<sup>-4</sup>|
|Llama 2|*A new mix of publicly available online data*|13B|4k|&#10007;|2.0T|3.0 x 10<sup>-4</sup>|
|Llama 2|*A new mix of publicly available online data*|70B|4k|&#10004;|2.0T|1.5 x 10<sup>-4</sup>|

*Llama 2 family of models.* Token counts refer to pretraining data only. All models are trained with a global batch-size of 4M tokens. Bigger models -  70B -- use Grouped-Query Attention (GQA) for improved inference scalability.

**Model Dates** Llama 2 was trained between January 2023 and July 2023.

**Status** This is a static model trained on an offline dataset. Future versions of the tuned models will be released as we improve model safety with community feedback.

**License** A custom commercial license is available at: [https://ai.meta.com/resources/models-and-libraries/llama-downloads/](https://ai.meta.com/resources/models-and-libraries/llama-downloads/)

**Research Paper** ["Llama-2: Open Foundation and Fine-tuned Chat Models"](arxiv.org/abs/2307.09288)

## Intended Use
**Intended Use Cases** Llama 2 is intended for commercial and research use in English. Tuned models are intended for assistant-like chat, whereas pretrained models can be adapted for a variety of natural language generation tasks.

**Out-of-scope Uses** Use in any manner that violates applicable laws or regulations (including trade compliance laws).Use in languages other than English. Use in any other way that is prohibited by the Acceptable Use Policy and Licensing Agreement for Llama 2.

## Hardware and Software
**Training Factors** We used custom training libraries, Meta's Research Super Cluster, and production clusters for pretraining. Fine-tuning, annotation, and evaluation were also performed on third-party cloud compute.

**Carbon Footprint** Pretraining utilized a cumulative 3.3M GPU hours of computation on hardware of type A100-80GB (TDP of 350-400W). Estimated total emissions were 539 tCO2eq, 100% of which were offset by Meta’s sustainability program.

||Time (GPU hours)|Power Consumption (W)|Carbon Emitted(tCO<sub>2</sub>eq)|
|---|---|---|---|
|Llama 2 7B|184320|400|31.22|
|Llama 2 13B|368640|400|62.44|
|Llama 2 70B|1720320|400|291.42|
|Total|3311616||539.00|

**CO<sub>2</sub> emissions during pretraining.** Time: total GPU time required for training each model. Power Consumption: peak power capacity per GPU device for the GPUs used adjusted for power usage efficiency. 100% of the emissions are directly offset by Meta's sustainability program, and because we are openly releasing these models, the pretraining costs do not need to be incurred by others.

## Training Data
**Overview** Llama 2 was pretrained on 2 trillion tokens of data from publicly available sources. The fine-tuning data includes publicly available instruction datasets, as well as over one million new human-annotated examples. Neither the pretraining nor the fine-tuning datasets include Meta user data.

**Data Freshness** The pretraining data has a cutoff of September 2022, but some tuning data is more recent, up to July 2023.

## Evaluation Results

In this section, we report the results for the Llama 1 and Llama 2 models on standard academic benchmarks.For all the evaluations, we use our internal evaluations library.

**Evaluation of fine-tuned LLMs on different safety datasets.** Same metric definitions as above.

## Ethical Considerations and Limitations
Llama 2 is a new technology that carries risks with use. Testing conducted to date has been in English, and has not covered, nor could it cover all scenarios. For these reasons, as with all LLMs, Llama 2’s potential outputs cannot be predicted in advance, and the model may in some instances produce inaccurate, biased or other objectionable responses to user prompts. Therefore, before deploying any applications of Llama 2, developers should perform safety testing and tuning tailored to their specific applications of the model.
