# Yi 34B 200K DARE MegaMerge V8 - AWQ
- Model creator: [brucethemoose](https://huggingface.co/brucethemoose)
- Original model: [Yi 34B 200K DARE MegaMerge V8](https://huggingface.co/brucethemoose/Yi-34B-200K-DARE-megamerge-v8)
## Description
This repo contains AWQ model files for [brucethemoose's Yi 34B 200K DARE MegaMerge V8](https://huggingface.co/brucethemoose/Yi-34B-200K-DARE-megamerge-v8).
### About AWQ
AWQ is an efficient, accurate and blazing-fast low-bit weight quantization method, currently supporting 4-bit quantization. Compared to GPTQ, it offers faster Transformers-based inference with equivalent or better quality compared to the most commonly used GPTQ settings.
AWQ models are currently supported on Linux and Windows, with NVidia GPUs only. macOS users: please use GGUF models instead.
It is supported by:
- [Text Generation Webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui) - using Loader: AutoAWQ
- [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) - version 0.2.2 or later for support for all model types.
- [Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference)
- [Transformers](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers) version 4.35.0 and later, from any code or client that supports Transformers
- [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) - for use from Python code

## Multi-user inference server: vLLM
Documentation on installing and using vLLM [can be found here](https://vllm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
- Please ensure you are using vLLM version 0.2 or later.
- When using vLLM as a server, pass the `--quantization awq` parameter.
For example:
```shell
python3 -m vllm.entrypoints.api_server --model TheBloke/Yi-34B-200K-DARE-megamerge-v8-AWQ --quantization awq --dtype auto
```
- When using vLLM from Python code, again set `quantization=awq`.
For example:
```python
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
prompts = [
"Tell me about AI",
"Write a story about llamas",
"What is 291 - 150?",
"How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?",
]
prompt_template=f'''SYSTEM: {system_message}
USER: {prompt}
ASSISTANT:
'''
prompts = [prompt_template.format(prompt=prompt) for prompt in prompts]
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)
llm = LLM(model="TheBloke/Yi-34B-200K-DARE-megamerge-v8-AWQ", quantization="awq", dtype="auto")
outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)
# Print the outputs.
for output in outputs:
prompt = output.prompt
generated_text = output.outputs[0].text
print(f"Prompt: {prompt!r}, Generated text: {generated_text!r}")
```
## Multi-user inference server: Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)
Use TGI version 1.1.0 or later. The official Docker container is: `ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:1.1.0`
Example Docker parameters:
```shell
--model-id TheBloke/Yi-34B-200K-DARE-megamerge-v8-AWQ --port 3000 --quantize awq --max-input-length 3696 --max-total-tokens 4096 --max-batch-prefill-tokens 4096
```
Example Python code for interfacing with TGI (requires [huggingface-hub](https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub) 0.17.0 or later):
```shell
pip3 install huggingface-hub
```
```python
from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient
endpoint_url = "https://your-endpoint-url-here"
prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''SYSTEM: {system_message}
USER: {prompt}
ASSISTANT:
'''
client = InferenceClient(endpoint_url)
response = client.text_generation(prompt,
max_new_tokens=128,
do_sample=True,
temperature=0.7,
top_p=0.95,
top_k=40,
repetition_penalty=1.1)
print(f"Model output: ", response)
```
## Inference from Python code using Transformers
### Install the necessary packages
- Requires: [Transformers](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers) 4.35.0 or later.
- Requires: [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) 0.1.6 or later.
```shell
pip3 install --upgrade "autoawq>=0.1.6" "transformers>=4.35.0"
```
Note that if you are using PyTorch 2.0.1, the above AutoAWQ command will automatically upgrade you to PyTorch 2.1.0.
If you are using CUDA 11.8 and wish to continue using PyTorch 2.0.1, instead run this command:
```shell
pip3 install https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ/releases/download/v0.1.6/autoawq-0.1.6+cu118-cp310-cp310-linux_x86_64.whl
```
If you have problems installing [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) using the pre-built wheels, install it from source instead:
```shell
pip3 uninstall -y autoawq
git clone https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ
cd AutoAWQ
pip3 install .
```
### Transformers example code (requires Transformers 4.35.0 and later)
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, TextStreamer
model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/Yi-34B-200K-DARE-megamerge-v8-AWQ"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_name_or_path,
low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
device_map="cuda:0"
)
# Using the text streamer to stream output one token at a time
streamer = TextStreamer(tokenizer, skip_prompt=True, skip_special_tokens=True)
prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''SYSTEM: {system_message}
USER: {prompt}
ASSISTANT:
'''
# Convert prompt to tokens
tokens = tokenizer(
prompt_template,
return_tensors='pt'
).input_ids.cuda()
generation_params = {
"do_sample": True,
"temperature": 0.7,
"top_p": 0.95,
"top_k": 40,
"max_new_tokens": 512,
"repetition_penalty": 1.1
}
# Generate streamed output, visible one token at a time
generation_output = model.generate(
tokens,
streamer=streamer,
**generation_params
)
# Generation without a streamer, which will include the prompt in the output
generation_output = model.generate(
tokens,
**generation_params
)
# Get the tokens from the output, decode them, print them
token_output = generation_output[0]
text_output = tokenizer.decode(token_output)
print("model.generate output: ", text_output)
# Inference is also possible via Transformers' pipeline
from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline(
"text-generation",
model=model,
tokenizer=tokenizer,
**generation_params
)
pipe_output = pipe(prompt_template)[0]['generated_text']
print("pipeline output: ", pipe_output)
```

# Original model card: brucethemoose's Yi 34B 200K DARE MegaMerge V8
# Yi 34B 200K DARE Merge v8
A merge of many Yi 34B 200K models using the new DARE Ties method via mergekit. The goal is to create a merge model that excels at 32K+ context performance, without any additional finetuning.
## Prompt template: Orca-Vicuna
```
SYSTEM: {system_message}
USER: {prompt}
ASSISTANT:
```
It might recognize ChatML, and possibly Alpaca-like formats. Raw prompting as described here is also effective: https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/18zqy4s/the_secret_to_writing_quality_stories_with_llms/
## Running
Being a Yi model, run a lower temperature with 0.05 or higher MinP, a little repetition penalty, maybe mirostat with a low tau, and no other samplers. Yi tends to run "hot" by default, and it really needs a low temperature + MinP to cull Yi's huge vocabulary. See the explanation here: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/3841
24GB GPUs can efficiently run Yi-34B-200K models at **40K-90K context** with exllamav2, and performant UIs like [exui](https://github.com/turboderp/exui). I go into more detail in this [post](https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1896igc/how_i_run_34b_models_at_75k_context_on_24gb_fast/). 16GB GPUs can still run the high context with aggressive quantization.
I recommend exl2 quantizations profiled on data similar to the desired task. It is especially sensitive to the quantization data at low bpw. I've upload my own fiction-oriented quantizations here: https://huggingface.co/collections/brucethemoose/most-recent-merge-65742644ca03b6c514afa204
To load/train this in full-context backends like transformers, you *must* change `max_position_embeddings` in config.json to a lower value than 200,000, otherwise you will OOM! I do not recommend running high context without context-efficient backends like exllamav2, litellm or unsloth.
## Testing Notes
See: https://huggingface.co/brucethemoose/Yi-34B-200K-DARE-merge-v5#testing-notes
An intermediate merge model was created to try and extend the context of several 4k models before adding them to the main merge, as seen in the "megamerge" recipe below. I can upload this upon request
In addition, the weight gradients are biased towards Vicuna-format models in the first few layers to try and "emphasize" the Orca-Vicuna prompt template. How sucessful this is remains to be seen.
## Merge Details
