Known compatible clients / servers

These GPTQ models are known to work in the following inference servers/webuis.

• text-generation-webui
• KoboldAI United
• LoLLMS Web UI
• Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)

This may not be a complete list; if you know of others, please let me know!

Provided files, and GPTQ parameters

Multiple quantisation parameters are provided, to allow you to choose the best one for your hardware and requirements.

Each separate quant is in a different branch. See below for instructions on fetching from different branches.

Most GPTQ files are made with AutoGPTQ. Mistral models are currently made with Transformers.

How to download, including from branches

In text-generation-webui

To download from the main branch, enter TheBloke/Starling-LM-7B-alpha-GPTQ in the "Download model" box.

To download from another branch, add :branchname to the end of the download name, eg TheBloke/Starling-LM-7B-alpha-GPTQ:gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True

From the command line

I recommend using the huggingface-hub Python library:

pip3 install huggingface-hub

To download the main branch to a folder called Starling-LM-7B-alpha-GPTQ:

mkdir Starling-LM-7B-alpha-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Starling-LM-7B-alpha-GPTQ --local-dir Starling-LM-7B-alpha-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False

To download from a different branch, add the --revision parameter:

mkdir Starling-LM-7B-alpha-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Starling-LM-7B-alpha-GPTQ --revision gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True --local-dir Starling-LM-7B-alpha-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False

With git (not recommended)

To clone a specific branch with git, use a command like this:

git clone --single-branch --branch gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Starling-LM-7B-alpha-GPTQ

Note that using Git with HF repos is strongly discouraged. It will be much slower than using huggingface-hub, and will use twice as much disk space as it has to store the model files twice (it stores every byte both in the intended target folder, and again in the .git folder as a blob.)

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.

It is strongly recommended to use the text-generation-webui one-click-installers unless you're sure you know how to make a manual install.

1. Click the Model tab.

2. Under Download custom model or LoRA, enter TheBloke/Starling-LM-7B-alpha-GPTQ.

   • To download from a specific branch, enter for example TheBloke/Starling-LM-7B-alpha-GPTQ:gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True
   • see Provided Files above for the list of branches for each option.

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: Starling-LM-7B-alpha-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 and should not set manual 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!

Serving this model from Text Generation Inference (TGI)

It's recommended to use TGI version 1.1.0 or later. The official Docker container is: ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:1.1.0

Example Docker parameters:

--model-id TheBloke/Starling-LM-7B-alpha-GPTQ --port 3000 --quantize gptq --max-input-length 3696 --max-total-tokens 4096 --max-batch-prefill-tokens 4096

Example Python code for interfacing with TGI (requires huggingface-hub 0.17.0 or later):

pip3 install huggingface-hub

from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient

endpoint_url = "https://your-endpoint-url-here"

prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''GPT4 User: {prompt}<|end_of_turn|>GPT4 Assistant:
'''

client = InferenceClient(endpoint_url)
response = client.text_generation(prompt,
 max_new_tokens=128,
 do_sample=True,
 temperature=0.7,
 top_p=0.95,
 top_k=40,
 repetition_penalty=1.1)

print(f"Model output: {response}")

Python code example: inference from this GPTQ model

Install the necessary packages

Requires: Transformers 4.33.0 or later, Optimum 1.12.0 or later, and AutoGPTQ 0.4.2 or later.

pip3 install --upgrade transformers optimum
# If using PyTorch 2.1 + CUDA 12.x:
pip3 install --upgrade auto-gptq
# or, if using PyTorch 2.1 + CUDA 11.x:
pip3 install --upgrade auto-gptq --extra-index-url https://huggingface.github.io/autogptq-index/whl/cu118/

If you are using PyTorch 2.0, you will need to install AutoGPTQ from source. Likewise if you have problems with the pre-built wheels, you should try building from source:

pip3 uninstall -y auto-gptq
git clone https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ
cd AutoGPTQ
git checkout v0.5.1
pip3 install .

Example Python code

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, pipeline

model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/Starling-LM-7B-alpha-GPTQ"
# To use a different branch, change revision
# For example: revision="gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path,
 device_map="auto",
 trust_remote_code=False,
 revision="main")

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

prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''GPT4 User: {prompt}<|end_of_turn|>GPT4 Assistant:
'''

print("\n\n*** Generate:")

input_ids = tokenizer(prompt_template, return_tensors='pt').input_ids.cuda()
output = model.generate(inputs=input_ids, temperature=0.7, do_sample=True, top_p=0.95, top_k=40, max_new_tokens=512)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0]))

# Inference can also be done using transformers' pipeline

print("*** Pipeline:")
pipe = pipeline(
 "text-generation",
 model=model,
 tokenizer=tokenizer,
 max_new_tokens=512,
 do_sample=True,
 temperature=0.7,
 top_p=0.95,
 top_k=40,
 repetition_penalty=1.1
)

print(pipe(prompt_template)[0]['generated_text'])

Compatibility

The files provided are tested to work with Transformers. For non-Mistral models, AutoGPTQ can also be used directly.

ExLlama is compatible with Llama and Mistral models in 4-bit. Please see the Provided Files table above for per-file compatibility.

Original model card: Berkeley-Nest's Starling LM 7B Alpha

Starling-RM-7B-alpha

• Developed by: Banghua Zhu * , Evan Frick * , Tianhao Wu * , Hanlin Zhu and Jiantao Jiao.
• Model type: Language Model finetuned with RLHF / RLAIF
• License: Non commercial license
• Finetuned from model: Openchat 3.5 (based on Mistral-7B-v0.1)

We introduce Starling-7B, an open large language model (LLM) trained by Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback (RLAIF). The model harnesses the power of our new GPT-4 labeled ranking dataset, berkeley-nest/Nectar, and our new reward training and policy tuning pipeline. Starling-7B-alpha scores 8.09 in MT Bench with GPT-4 as a judge, outperforming every model to date on MT-Bench except for OpenAI's GPT-4 and GPT-4 Turbo. We release the ranking dataset Nectar, the reward model Starling-RM-7B-alpha and the language model Starling-LM-7B-alpha on HuggingFace, and an online demo in LMSYS Chatbot Arena. Stay tuned for our forthcoming code and paper, which will provide more details on the whole process.

Starling-LM-7B-alpha is a language model trained from Openchat 3.5 with reward model berkeley-nest/Starling-RM-7B-alpha and policy optimization method advantage-induced policy alignment (APA). The evaluation results are listed below.

For more detailed discussions, please check out our blog post, and stay tuned for our upcoming code and paper!
