# Japanese StableLM Base Beta 70B - GGUF
- Model creator: [Stability AI](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai)
- Original model: [Japanese StableLM Base Beta 70B](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/japanese-stablelm-base-beta-70b)
## Description
This repo contains GGUF format model files for [Stability AI's Japanese StableLM Base Beta 70B](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/japanese-stablelm-base-beta-70b).
These files were quantised using hardware kindly provided by [Massed Compute](https://massedcompute.com/).
### 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.
Here is an incomplete list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF:
* [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp). The source project for GGUF. Offers a CLI and a server option.
* [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), the most widely used web UI, with many features and powerful extensions. Supports GPU acceleration.
* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp), a fully featured web UI, with GPU accel across all platforms and GPU architectures. Especially good for story telling.
* [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/), an easy-to-use and powerful local GUI for Windows and macOS (Silicon), with GPU acceleration.
* [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.
* [Faraday.dev](https://faraday.dev/), an attractive and easy to use character-based chat GUI for Windows and macOS (both Silicon and Intel), with GPU acceleration.
* [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.

## Licensing
The creator of the source model has listed its license as `['llama2']`, and this quantization has therefore used that same license.
As this model is based on Llama 2, it is also subject to the Meta Llama 2 license terms, and the license files for that are additionally included. It should therefore be considered as being claimed to be licensed under both licenses. I contacted Hugging Face for clarification on dual licensing but they do not yet have an official position. Should this change, or should Meta provide any feedback on this situation, I will update this section accordingly.
In the meantime, any questions regarding licensing, and in particular how these two licenses might interact, should be directed to the original model repository: [Stability AI's Japanese StableLM Base Beta 70B](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/japanese-stablelm-base-beta-70b).
## Compatibility
These quantised GGUFv2 files are compatible with llama.cpp from August 27th onwards, as of commit [d0cee0d](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/d0cee0d36d5be95a0d9088b674dbb27354107221)
They are also compatible with many third party UIs and libraries - please see the list at the top of this 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

```
## 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.
The following clients/libraries will automatically download models for you, providing a list of available models to choose from:
* LM Studio
* LoLLMS Web UI
* Faraday.dev
### In `text-generation-webui`
Under Download Model, you can enter the model repo: TheBloke/japanese-stablelm-base-beta-70B-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: japanese-stablelm-base-beta-70b.Q4_K_M.gguf.
Then click Download.
### 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/japanese-stablelm-base-beta-70B-GGUF japanese-stablelm-base-beta-70b.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```
More advanced huggingface-cli download usage
You can also download multiple files at once with a pattern:
```shell
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/japanese-stablelm-base-beta-70B-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/japanese-stablelm-base-beta-70B-GGUF japanese-stablelm-base-beta-70b.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 commit [d0cee0d](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/d0cee0d36d5be95a0d9088b674dbb27354107221) or later.
```shell
./main -ngl 32 -m japanese-stablelm-base-beta-70b.Q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 4096 --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 4096` 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.
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 in Python code, using ctransformers
#### First install the package
Run one of the following commands, according to your system:
```shell
# Base ctransformers with no GPU acceleration
pip install ctransformers
# Or with CUDA GPU acceleration
pip install ctransformers[cuda]
# Or with AMD ROCm GPU acceleration (Linux only)
CT_HIPBLAS=1 pip install ctransformers --no-binary ctransformers
# Or with Metal GPU acceleration for macOS systems only
CT_METAL=1 pip install ctransformers --no-binary ctransformers
```
#### Simple ctransformers example code
```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/japanese-stablelm-base-beta-70B-GGUF", model_file="japanese-stablelm-base-beta-70b.Q4_K_M.gguf", model_type="llama", gpu_layers=50)
print(llm("AI is going to"))
```

> A cute robot wearing a kimono writes calligraphy with one single brush — [Stable Diffusion XL](https://clipdrop.co/stable-diffusion)
## Model Description
`japanese-stablelm-base-beta-70b` is a 70B-parameter decoder-only language model based on [Llama-2-70b](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-2-70b) that has been fine-tuned on a diverse collection of Japanese data, with the intent of maximizing downstream performance on Japanese language tasks.
For an instruction-following model, check [Japanese-StableLM-Instruct-Beta-70B](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/japanese-stablelm-instruct-beta-70b). The base and instruct models are also available in smaller 7b sizes. For a model that has faster inference times, see [Japanese-StableLM-Base-JA_Vocab-Beta-7B](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/japanese-stablelm-base-ja_vocab-beta-7b), or [the instruction-following version](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/japanese-stablelm-instruct-ja_vocab-beta-7b).
## Usage
First install additional dependencies in [requirements.txt](./requirements.txt):
```sh
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Then start generating text with `japanese-stablelm-base-beta-70b` by using the following code snippet:
```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
model_name = "stabilityai/japanese-stablelm-base-beta-70b"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
# The next line may need to be modified depending on the environment
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype=torch.float16, low_cpu_mem_usage=True, device_map="auto")
prompt = """
AI で科学研究を加速するには、
""".strip()
input_ids = tokenizer.encode(
prompt,
add_special_tokens=False,
return_tensors="pt"
)
# this is for reproducibility.
# feel free to change to get different result
seed = 23
torch.manual_seed(seed)
tokens = model.generate(
input_ids.to(device=model.device),
max_new_tokens=128,
temperature=0.99,
top_p=0.95,
do_sample=True,
)
out = tokenizer.decode(tokens[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(out)
```
We suggest playing with different generation config (`top_p`, `repetition_penalty` etc) to find the best setup for your tasks. For example, use higher temperature for roleplay task, lower temperature for reasoning.
