# Mixtral 8X7B v0.1 - GGUF
- Model creator: [Mistral AI_](https://huggingface.co/mistralai)
- Original model: [Mixtral 8X7B v0.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1)
## Description
This repo contains **EXPERIMENTAL** GGUF format model files for [Mistral AI_'s Mixtral 8X7B v0.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1).
## EXPERIMENTAL - REQUIRES LLAMA.CPP FORK
These are experimental GGUF files, created using a llama.cpp PR found here: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/4406.
THEY WILL NOT WORK WITH LLAMA.CPP FROM `main`, OR ANY DOWNSTREAM LLAMA.CPP CLIENT - such as LM Studio, llama-cpp-python, text-generation-webui, etc.
To test these GGUFs, please build llama.cpp from the above PR.
I have tested CUDA acceleration and it works great. I have not yet tested other forms of GPU acceleration.

## 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

**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 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.
### 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/Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1-GGUF mixtral-8x7b-v0.1.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```
More advanced huggingface-cli download usage (click to read)
You can also download multiple files at once with a pattern:
```shell
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1-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/Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1-GGUF mixtral-8x7b-v0.1.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.
## Example `llama.cpp` command
Make sure you are using `llama.cpp` from [PR 4406](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/4406)
```shell
./main -ngl 35 -m mixtral-8x7b-v0.1.Q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 32768 --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 32768` 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 ` 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)

# Original model card: Mistral AI_'s Mixtral 8X7B v0.1
# Model Card for Mixtral-8x7B
The Mixtral-8x7B Large Language Model (LLM) is a pretrained generative Sparse Mixture of Experts. The Mistral-8x7B outperforms Llama 2 70B on most benchmarks we tested.
For full details of this model please read our [release blog post](https://mistral.ai/news/mixtral-of-experts/).
## Warning
This repo contains weights that are compatible with [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) serving of the model as well as Hugging Face [transformers](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers) library. It is based on the original Mixtral [torrent release](magnet:?xt=urn:btih:5546272da9065eddeb6fcd7ffddeef5b75be79a7&dn=mixtral-8x7b-32kseqlen&tr=udp%3A%2F%http://2Fopentracker.i2p.rocks%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=http%3A%2F%http://2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80%2Fannounce), but the file format and parameter names are different. Please note that model cannot (yet) be instantiated with HF.
## Run the model
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_id = "mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)
text = "Hello my name is"
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=20)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```
By default, transformers will load the model in full precision. Therefore you might be interested to further reduce down the memory requirements to run the model through the optimizations we offer in HF ecosystem:
### In half-precision
Note `float16` precision only works on GPU devices
Click to expand
```diff
+ import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_id = "mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype=torch.float16).to(0)
text = "Hello my name is"
+ inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt").to(0)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=20)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```
### Lower precision using (8-bit & 4-bit) using `bitsandbytes`

```diff
+ import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_id = "mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, load_in_4bit=True)
text = "Hello my name is"
+ inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt").to(0)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=20)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```
### Load the model with Flash Attention 2
Click to expand
```diff
+ import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_id = "mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, use_flash_attention_2=True)
text = "Hello my name is"
+ inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt").to(0)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=20)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```
## Notice
Mixtral-8x7B is a pretrained base model and therefore does not have any moderation mechanisms.
