# Koala: A Dialogue Model for Academic Research
This repo contains the weights of the Koala 13B model produced at Berkeley. It is the result of combining the diffs from https://huggingface.co/young-geng/koala with the original Llama 13B model.

This version has then been quantized to 4-bit using [GPTQ-for-LLaMa](https://github.com/qwopqwop200/GPTQ-for-LLaMa).

## My Koala repos
I have the following Koala model repositories available:

**13B models:**
* [Unquantized 13B model in HF format](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/koala-13B-HF)
* [GPTQ quantized 4bit 13B model in `pt` and `safetensors` formats](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/koala-13B-GPTQ-4bit-128g)
* [4-bit, 5-bit and 8-bit GGML models for `llama.cpp`](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/koala-13B-GGML)

**7B models:**
* [Unquantized 7B model in HF format](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/koala-7B-HF)
* [Unquantized 7B model in GGML format for llama.cpp](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/koala-7b-ggml-unquantized)
* [GPTQ quantized 4bit 7B model in `pt` and `safetensors` formats](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/koala-7B-GPTQ-4bit-128g)
* [4-bit, 5-bit and 8-bit GGML models for `llama.cpp`](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/koala-7B-GGML)

## Provided files

Three model files are provided. You don't need all three - choose the one that suits your needs best!

Details of the files provided:
* `koala-13B-4bit-128g.pt`
  * pt format file, created with the latest [GPTQ-for-LLaMa](https://github.com/qwopqwop200/GPTQ-for-LLaMa) code.
  * Command to create:
    * `python3 llama.py koala-13B-HF c4 --wbits 4 --true-sequential --act-order --groupsize 128 --save koala-13B-4bit-128g.pt`
* `koala-13B-4bit-128g.safetensors`
  * newer `safetensors` format, with improved file security, created with the latest [GPTQ-for-LLaMa](https://github.com/qwopqwop200/GPTQ-for-LLaMa) code.
  * Command to create:
    * `python3 llama.py koala-13B-HF c4 --wbits 4 --true-sequential --act-order --groupsize 128 --save_safetensors koala-13B-4bit-128g.safetensors`
* `koala-13B-4bit-128g.no-act-order.ooba.pt`
  * `pt` format file, created with [oobabooga's older CUDA fork of GPTQ-for-LLaMa](https://github.com/oobabooga/GPTQ-for-LLaMa).
  * This file is included primarily for Windows users, as it can be used without needing to compile the latest GPTQ-for-LLaMa code.
  * It should hopefully therefore work with one-click-installers on Windows, which include the older GPTQ-for-LLaMa code.
  * The older GPTQ code does not support all the latest features, so the quality may be fractionally lower.
  * Command to create:
    * `python3 llama.py koala-13B-HF c4 --wbits 4 --true-sequential --groupsize 128 --save koala-13B-4bit-128g.no-act-order.ooba.pt`

## How to run in `text-generation-webui`

File `koala-13B-4bit-128g.no-act-order.ooba.pt` can be loaded the same as any other GPTQ file, without requiring any updates to [oobaboogas text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui).

The other two model files were created with the latest GPTQ code, and require that the latest GPTQ-for-LLaMa is used inside the UI.

Here are the commands I used to clone the Triton branch of GPTQ-for-LLaMa, clone text-generation-webui, and install GPTQ into the UI:
```
git clone https://github.com/qwopqwop200/GPTQ-for-LLaMa
git clone https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui
mkdir -p text-generation-webui/repositories
ln -s GPTQ-for-LLaMa text-generation-webui/repositories/GPTQ-for-LLaMa
```

Then install this model into `text-generation-webui/models` and launch the UI as follows:
```
cd text-generation-webui
python server.py --model koala-13B-GPTQ-4bit-128g --wbits 4 --groupsize 128 --model_type Llama # add any other command line args you want
```

The above commands assume you have installed all dependencies for GPTQ-for-LLaMa and text-generation-webui. Please see their respective repositories for further information.

If you are on Windows, or cannot use the Triton branch of GPTQ for any other reason, you can instead use the CUDA branch:
```
git clone https://github.com/qwopqwop200/GPTQ-for-LLaMa -b cuda
cd GPTQ-for-LLaMa
python setup_cuda.py install
```
Then link that into `text-generation-webui/repositories` as described above.

Or just use `koala-13B-4bit-128g.no-act-order.ooba.pt` as mentioned above.

## How the Koala delta weights were merged

The Koala delta weights were originally merged using the following commands, producing [koala-13B-HF](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/koala-13B-HF):
```
git clone https://github.com/young-geng/EasyLM

git clone https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/llama-13b

mkdir koala_diffs && cd koala_diffs && wget https://huggingface.co/young-geng/koala/resolve/main/koala_13b_diff_v2

cd EasyLM
