LmSys' Long Chat 7B GGML

These files are GGML format model files for LmSys' Long Chat 7B.

These are RoPE GGMLs with an increased context length. RoPE - Rotated Positional Encoding - expands context beyond what was originally possible for a model. It was discovered and developed by kaiokendev.

In order to use the increased context length, you can presently use:

• KoboldCpp - release 1.33 or later.

Support is also expected to come to llama.cpp, however work is still being done to find the optimal implementation.

To use the increased context with KoboldCpp, use --contextsize to set the desired context, eg --contextsize 4096 or --contextsize 8192 or --contextsize 16384.

NOTE 1: Currently RoPE models can only be used at a context size greater than 2048. At 2048 it will produce gibberish. Please make sure you're always setting --contextsize and specifying a value higher than 2048, eg 3072, 4096, etc.

NOTE 2: Increased context length is an area seeing rapid developments and improvements. It is quite possible that these models may be superseded by new developments in the coming days. If that's the case, I will remove them, or update this README as appropriate.

Repositories available

• 4-bit GPTQ models for GPU inference
• 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8-bit GGML models for CPU+GPU inference
• Unquantised fp16 model in pytorch format, for GPU inference and for further conversions

Prompt template

Compatibility

These GGMLs will work with any llama.cpp-compatible GGML client that supports k-quants.

However the increased context length won't work without specific support. See the note in the introduction for details on using increased context.

Explanation of the new k-quant methods

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
• GGML_TYPE_Q8_K - "type-0" 8-bit quantization. Only used for quantizing intermediate results. The difference to the existing Q8_0 is that the block size is 256. All 2-6 bit dot produc ts are implemented for this quantization type.

Provided files

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 run in koboldcpp

On Linux I use the following command line to launch the KoboldCpp UI with OpenCL aceleration and a context size of 4096:

python ./koboldcpp.py --contextsize 4096 --stream --unbantokens --threads 8 --usecublas --gpulayers 100 longchat-7b-16k.ggmlv3.q4_K_M.bin

Change --contextsize to the context size you want - it must be higher than 2048 else the model will produce gibberish

Change --gpulayers 100 to the number of layers you want/are able to offload to the GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.

For OpenCL acceleration, change --usecublas to --useclblast 0 0. You may need to change the second 0 to 1 if you have both an iGPU and a discrete GPU.

Thanks, and how to contribute.

Thanks to the 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.
