# 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 and 5-bit GGML for use with [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp). ## 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) * [4bit and 5bit models in GGML format 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) * [4bit and 5bit models in GGML format for `llama.cpp`](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/koala-7B-GGML) ## THE FILES IN MAIN BRANCH REQUIRES LATEST LLAMA.CPP (May 19th 2023 - commit 2d5db48)! llama.cpp recently made another breaking change to its quantisation methods - https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/1508 I have quantised the GGML files in this repo with the latest version. Therefore you will require llama.cpp compiled on May 19th or later (commit `2d5db48` or later) to use them. For files compatible with the previous version of llama.cpp, please see branch `previous_llama_ggmlv2`. ## How to run in `llama.cpp` I use the following command line; adjust for your tastes and needs: ``` ./main -t 18 -m koala-13B-4bit-128g.GGML.bin --color -c 2048 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "BEGINNING OF CONVERSATION: USER: GPT:" ``` Change `-t 18` to the number of physical CPU cores you have. For example if your system has 8 cores, 16 threads, use `-t 8`. You will require 16GB or more RAM to run this model without swapping. ## 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 PYTHON_PATH="${PWD}:$PYTHONPATH" python \ -m EasyLM.models.llama.convert_torch_to_easylm \ --checkpoint_dir=/content/llama-13b \ --output_file=/content/llama-13b-LM \ --streaming=True PYTHON_PATH="${PWD}:$PYTHONPATH" python \ -m EasyLM.scripts.diff_checkpoint --recover_diff=True \ --load_base_checkpoint='params::/content/llama-13b-LM' \ --load_target_checkpoint='params::/content/koala_diffs/koala_13b_diff_v2' \ --output_file=/content/koala_13b.diff.weights \ --streaming=True PYTHON_PATH="${PWD}:$PYTHONPATH" python \ -m EasyLM.models.llama.convert_easylm_to_hf --model_size=13b \ --output_dir=/content/koala-13B-HF \ --load_checkpoint='params::/content/koala_13b.diff.weights' \ --tokenizer_path=/content/llama-13b/tokenizer.model ``` ## Discord For further support, and discussions on these models and AI in general, join us at: [TheBloke AI's Discord server](https://discord.gg/Jq4vkcDakD) ## 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. * Patreon: https://patreon.com/TheBlokeAI * Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TheBlokeAI **Patreon special mentions**: Aemon Algiz, Dmitriy Samsonov, Nathan LeClaire, Trenton Dambrowitz, Mano Prime, David Flickinger, vamX, Nikolai Manek, senxiiz, Khalefa Al-Ahmad, Illia Dulskyi, Jonathan Leane, Talal Aujan, V.
