# Bigcode's Starcoder GPTQ

These files are GPTQ 4bit model files for [Bigcode's Starcoder](https://huggingface.co/bigcode/starcoder).

It is the result of quantising to 4bit using [AutoGPTQ](https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ).

## Repositories available

* [4-bit GPTQ models for GPU inference](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/starcoder-GPTQ)
* [4, 5, and 8-bit GGML models for CPU+GPU inference](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/starcoder-GGML)
* [Bigcoder's unquantised fp16 model in pytorch format, for GPU inference and for further conversions](https://huggingface.co/bigcode/starcoder)

## Prompting

The model was trained on GitHub code.

As such it is _not_ an instruction model and commands like "Write a function that computes the square root." do not work well.

However, by using the [Tech Assistant prompt](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/ta-prompt) you can turn it into a capable technical assistant.

## How to easily download and use this model in text-generation-webui

Please make sure you're using the latest version of text-generation-webui

1. Click the **Model tab**.
2. Under **Download custom model or LoRA**, enter `TheBloke/starcoder-GPTQ`.
3. Click **Download**.
4. The model will start downloading. Once it's finished it will say "Done"
5. In the top left, click the refresh icon next to **Model**.
6. In the **Model** dropdown, choose the model you just downloaded: `starcoder-GPTQ`
7. The model will automatically load, and is now ready for use!
8. If you want any custom settings, set them and then click **Save settings for this model** followed by **Reload the Model** in the top right.
  * Note that you do not need to set GPTQ parameters any more. These are set automatically from the file `quantize_config.json`.
9. Once you're ready, click the **Text Generation tab** and enter a prompt to get started!

## How to use this GPTQ model from Python code

First make sure you have [AutoGPTQ](https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ) installed:

`pip install auto-gptq`

Then try the following example code:

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, pipeline, logging
from auto_gptq import AutoGPTQForCausalLM, BaseQuantizeConfig
import argparse

model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/starcoder-GPTQ"

use_triton = False

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, use_fast=True)

model = AutoGPTQForCausalLM.from_quantized(model_name_or_path,
        model_basename=model_basename,
        use_safetensors=True,
        trust_remote_code=True,
        device="cuda:0",
        use_triton=use_triton,
        quantize_config=None)

inputs = tokenizer.encode("def print_hello_world():", return_tensors="pt").to(device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
```

## Provided files

**gptq_model-4bit--1g.safetensors**

This will work with AutoGPTQ and CUDA versions of GPTQ-for-LLaMa. There are reports of issues with Triton mode of recent GPTQ-for-LLaMa. If you have issues, please use AutoGPTQ instead.

It was created without group_size to lower VRAM requirements, and with --act-order (desc_act) to boost inference accuracy as much as possible.

* `gptq_model-4bit--1g.safetensors`
  * Works with AutoGPTQ in CUDA or Triton modes.
  * Does not work with GPTQ-for-LLaMa.
  * Works with text-generation-webui, including one-click-installers.
  * Parameters: Groupsize = -1. Act Order / desc_act = True.

## Thanks, and how to contribute.

Thanks to the [chirper.ai](https://chirper.ai) team!

I've had a lot of people ask if they can contribute. I enjoy providing models and helping people, and would love to be able to spend even more time doing it, as well as expanding into new projects like fine tuning/training.

If you're able and willing to contribute it will be most gratefully received and will help me to keep providing more models, and to start work on new AI projects.

Donaters will get priority support on any and all AI/LLM/model questions and requests, access to a private Discord room, plus other benefits.

## Model Summary

The StarCoder models are 15.5B parameter models trained on 80+ programming languages from [The Stack (v1.2)](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/the-stack), with opt-out requests excluded. The model uses [Multi Query Attention](https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.02150), [a context window of 8192 tokens](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.14135),  and was trained using the [Fill-in-the-Middle objective](https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.14255) on 1 trillion tokens.

## Use

### Intended use

The model was trained on GitHub code. As such it is _not_ an instruction model and commands like "Write a function that computes the square root." do not work well. However, by using the [Tech Assistant prompt](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/ta-prompt) you can turn it into a capable technical assistant.

**Feel free to share your generations in the Community tab!**

### Generation
```python
# pip install -q transformers
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

checkpoint = "bigcode/starcoder"
device = "cuda" # for GPU usage or "cpu" for CPU usage

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(checkpoint)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(checkpoint).to(device)

inputs = tokenizer.encode("def print_hello_world():", return_tensors="pt").to(device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
```

### Fill-in-the-middle
Fill-in-the-middle uses special tokens to identify the prefix/middle/suffix part of the input and output:

```python
input_text = "<fim_prefix>def print_hello_world():\n    <fim_suffix>\n    print('Hello world!')<fim_middle>"
inputs = tokenizer.encode(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
```

### Attribution & Other Requirements

The pretraining dataset of the model was filtered for permissive licenses only. Nevertheless, the model can generate source code verbatim from the dataset. The code's license might require attribution and/or other specific requirements that must be respected. We provide a [search index](https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigcode/starcoder-search) that let's you search through the pretraining data to identify where generated code came from and apply the proper attribution to your code.

# Limitations

The model has been trained on source code from 80+ programming languages. The predominant natural language in source code is English although other languages are also present. As such the model is capable of generating code snippets provided some context but the generated code is not guaranteed to work as intended. It can be inefficient, contain bugs or exploits. See [the paper](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cN-b9GnWtHzQRoE7M7gAEyivY0kl4BYs/view) for an in-depth discussion of the model limitations.
