# MosaicML's MPT-7B-Chat GGML
These files are GGML format model files for [MosaicML's MPT-7B-Chat](https://huggingface.co/mosaicml/mpt-7b-chat).
Please note that these GGMLs are **not compatible with llama.cpp, or currently with text-generation-webui**. Please see below for a list of tools known to work with these model files.
[KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp) just added GPU accelerated (OpenCL) support for MPT models, so that is the client I recommend using for these models.
**Note**: Please make sure you're using KoboldCpp version 1.32.3 or later, as a number of MPT-related bugs are fixed.
## Repositories available
* [4, 5, and 8-bit GGML models for CPU+GPU inference](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/mpt-7B-chat-GGML)
* [Unquantised fp16 model in pytorch format, for GPU inference and for further conversions](https://huggingface.co/mosaicml/mpt-7b-chat)
## Prompt template
```
<|im_start|>system
A conversation between a user and an LLM-based AI assistant. The assistant gives helpful and honest answers.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
prompt goes here<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
```
## A note regarding context length: 4K
The base model has an 4K context length.
[KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp) supports 4K context if you manually set it to 4K by adjusting the text box above the slider, like in this example:
![.](https://i.imgur.com/tEbpeJqm.png)
(Set it to 4K, not 8K for this model.)
## Compatibilty
These files are **not** compatible with text-generation-webui, llama.cpp, or llama-cpp-python.
Currently they can be used with:
* KoboldCpp, a powerful inference engine based on llama.cpp, with good UI and GPU accelerated support for MPT models: [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp)
* The ctransformers Python library, which includes LangChain support: [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers)
* The LoLLMS Web UI which uses ctransformers: [LoLLMS Web UI](https://github.com/ParisNeo/lollms-webui)
* [rustformers' llm](https://github.com/rustformers/llm)
* The example `mpt` binary provided with [ggml](https://github.com/ggerganov/ggml)
As other options become available I will endeavour to update them here (do let me know in the Community tab if I've missed something!)

| mpt-7b-chat.ggmlv0.q5_0.bin | q5_0 | 5 | 20.60 GB | 23.10 GB | 5-bit. Higher accuracy, higher resource usage and slower inference. |
| mpt-7b-chat.ggmlv0.q5_1.bin | q5_1 | 5 | 22.47 GB | 24.97 GB | 5-bit. Even higher accuracy, resource usage and slower inference. |
| mpt-7b-chat.ggmlv0.q8_0.bin | q8_0 | 8 | 31.83 GB | 34.33 GB | 8-bit. Almost indistinguishable from float16. High resource use and slow. Not recommended for most users. |
**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.

### Example Dialogue
**SamIAm85**:
>I want you to come up with a tweet based on this summary of the article:
>"Introducing MPT-7B, the latest entry in our MosaicML Foundation Series.
>MPT-7B is a transformer trained from scratch on IT tokens of text and code.
>It is open source and it matches the quality of LLaMA-7B.
>MPT-7B was trained on the MosaicML platform in 9.5 days with zero human intervention at a cost of ~$200k.
>Starting today, you can train, finetune, and deploy your own private MPT models, either starting from one of our checkpoints or training from scratch.
>For inspiration, we are also releasing three finetuned models in addition to the base MPT-7B: MPT-7B-Instruct, MPT-7B-Chat, and MPT-7B-Story Writer-65k+, the last of which uses a context length of 65k tokens!
**MPT-7B-Instruct**:
>Here's my suggestion for a tweet:
>"Exciting news! @MosaicML has launched #MPT_7B - a new standard for open-source LLMs. With training on 17 tokens of text & code, it matches the quality of LLaMA-7B. Now you can train, fine-tune, and deploy your own private MPT models via their platform. Check out the full blog post here: https://bit.ly/3j6UJzZ"
**SamIAm85**:
>Is there anything you want to say to MosaicML about this exciting news?
**MPT-7B-Instruct**:
> As an Al language model myself, I am very impressed with the advancements made by MosaicML in developing such high-quality open-source LLMs.
> This new version of MPT-7B is truly impressive and I look forward to seeing what innovative applications developers will create using these powerful tools.
> Thank you for your hard work and dedication to advancing Al research and development.
## How to Use
This model is best used with the MosaicML [llm-foundry repository](https://github.com/mosaicml/llm-foundry) for training and finetuning.
```python
import transformers
model = transformers.AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
'mosaicml/mpt-7b-chat',
trust_remote_code=True
)
```
Note: This model requires that `trust_remote_code=True` be passed to the `from_pretrained` method.
This is because we use a custom `MPT` model architecture that is not yet part of the Hugging Face `transformers` package.
`MPT` includes options for many training efficiency features such as [FlashAttention](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.14135.pdf), [ALiBi](https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.12409), [QK LayerNorm](https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.04245), and more.
To use the optimized [triton implementation](https://github.com/openai/triton) of FlashAttention, you can load the model on GPU (`cuda:0`) with `attn_impl='triton'` and with `bfloat16` precision:
```python
import torch
import transformers
name = 'mosaicml/mpt-7b-chat'
config = transformers.AutoConfig.from_pretrained(name, trust_remote_code=True)
config.attn_config['attn_impl'] = 'triton'
config.init_device = 'cuda:0' # For fast initialization directly on GPU!
model = transformers.AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
name,
config=config,
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, # Load model weights in bfloat16
trust_remote_code=True
)
```
Although the model was trained with a sequence length of 2048, ALiBi enables users to increase the maximum sequence length during finetuning and/or inference. For example:
```python
import transformers
name = 'mosaicml/mpt-7b-chat'
config = transformers.AutoConfig.from_pretrained(name, trust_remote_code=True)
config.max_seq_len = 4096 # (input + output) tokens can now be up to 4096
model = transformers.AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
name,
config=config,
trust_remote_code=True
)
```
This model was trained with the [EleutherAI/gpt-neox-20b](https://huggingface.co/EleutherAI/gpt-neox-20b) tokenizer.
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("EleutherAI/gpt-neox-20b")
```
The model can then be used, for example, within a text-generation pipeline.
Note: when running Torch modules in lower precision, it is best practice to use the [torch.autocast context manager](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/amp.html).
```python
from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline('text-generation', model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, device='cuda:0')
with torch.autocast('cuda', dtype=torch.bfloat16):
print(
pipe('Here is a recipe for vegan banana bread:\n',
max_new_tokens=100,
do_sample=True,
use_cache=True))
```
## Model Description
The architecture is a modification of a standard decoder-only transformer.
The model has been modified from a standard transformer in the following ways:
* It uses [FlashAttention](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.14135.pdf)
* It uses [ALiBi (Attention with Linear Biases)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.12409) and does not use positional embeddings
* It does not use biases
| Hyperparameter | Value |
|----------------|-------|
|n_parameters | 6.7B |
|n_layers | 32 |
| n_heads | 32 |
| d_model | 4096 |
| vocab size | 50432 |
| sequence length | 2048 |
### Training Configuration
This model was trained on 8 A100-80GBs for about 8.2 hours, followed by training for 6.7 hours on 32 A100-40GBs using the [MosaicML Platform](https://www.mosaicml.com/platform).
The model was trained with sharded data parallelism using [FSDP](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/fsdp.html) and used the AdamW optimizer.
## Limitations and Biases
_The following language is modified from [EleutherAI's GPT-NeoX-20B](https://huggingface.co/EleutherAI/gpt-neox-20b)_
MPT-7B-Chat can produce factually incorrect output, and should not be relied on to produce factually accurate information.
MPT-7B-Chat was trained on various public datasets.
While great efforts have been taken to clean the pretraining data, it is possible that this model could generate lewd, biased or otherwise offensive outputs.
