MUST READ: Very Important!! Note About Untrained Special Tokens in Llama 3 Base (Non-instruct) Models & Fine-tuning Llama 3 Base

• If you intend to fine-tune this model with any added tokens, or fine-tune for instruction following, please use the untrained-special-tokens-fixed branch/revision.
• Special tokens such as the ones used for instruct are undertrained in Llama 3 base models.

Important Note About Serving with vLLM & oobabooga/text-generation-webui

• For loading this model onto vLLM, make sure all requests have "stop_token_ids":[128001, 128009] to temporarily address the non-stop generation issue.
  • vLLM does not yet respect generation_config.json.
  • vLLM team is working on a a fix for this https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/issues/4180
• For oobabooga/text-generation-webui
  • Load the model via AutoGPTQ, with no_inject_fused_attention enabled. This is a bug with AutoGPTQ library.
  • Under Parameters -> Generation -> Skip special tokens: turn this off (deselect)
  • Under Parameters -> Generation -> Custom stopping strings: add "<|end_of_text|>","<|eot_id|>" to the field

Description

This repo contains 8 Bit quantized GPTQ model files for meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B.

This model can be loaded with just over 10GB of VRAM (compared to the original 16.07GB model) and can be served lightning fast with the cheapest Nvidia GPUs possible (Nvidia T4, Nvidia K80, RTX 4070, etc).

The 8 bit GPTQ quant has minimum quality degradation from the original bfloat16 model due to its higher bitrate.

The untrained-special-tokens-fixed branch is the same model as the main branch but has special tokens and tokens untrained (by finding the tokens where max embedding value of each token in input_embeddings and output_embeddings is 0) and setting them to the average of all trained tokens for each feature. Using this branch is recommended if you plan to do any fine-tuning with your own tokens added or with instruction following.

GPTQ Quantization Method

• This model is quantized by utilizing the AutoGPTQ library, following best practices noted by GPTQ paper
• Quantization is calibrated and aligned with random samples from the specified dataset (wikitext for now) for minimum accuracy loss.

Serving this GPTQ model using vLLM

Tested serving this model via vLLM using an Nvidia T4 (16GB VRAM).

Tested with the below command

python -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server --model astronomer-io/Llama-3-8B-GPTQ-8-Bit --max-model-len 8192 --dtype float16

For the non-stop token generation bug, make sure to send requests with stop_token_ids":[128001, 128009] to vLLM endpoint
