# DaringMaid 20B - AWQ
- Model creator: [Kooten](https://huggingface.co/Kooten)
- Original model: [DaringMaid 20B](https://huggingface.co/Kooten/DaringMaid-20B)
## Description
This repo contains AWQ model files for [Kooten's DaringMaid 20B](https://huggingface.co/Kooten/DaringMaid-20B).
These files were quantised using hardware kindly provided by [Massed Compute](https://massedcompute.com/).
### About AWQ
AWQ is an efficient, accurate and blazing-fast low-bit weight quantization method, currently supporting 4-bit quantization. Compared to GPTQ, it offers faster Transformers-based inference with equivalent or better quality compared to the most commonly used GPTQ settings.
AWQ models are currently supported on Linux and Windows, with NVidia GPUs only. macOS users: please use GGUF models instead.
It is supported by:
- [Text Generation Webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui) - using Loader: AutoAWQ
- [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) - version 0.2.2 or later for support for all model types.
- [Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference)
- [Transformers](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers) version 4.35.0 and later, from any code or client that supports Transformers
- [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) - for use from Python code

## Licensing
The creator of the source model has listed its license as `cc-by-nc-4.0`, and this quantization has therefore used that same license.
As this model is based on Llama 2, it is also subject to the Meta Llama 2 license terms, and the license files for that are additionally included. It should therefore be considered as being claimed to be licensed under both licenses. I contacted Hugging Face for clarification on dual licensing but they do not yet have an official position. Should this change, or should Meta provide any feedback on this situation, I will update this section accordingly.
In the meantime, any questions regarding licensing, and in particular how these two licenses might interact, should be directed to the original model repository: [Kooten's DaringMaid 20B](https://huggingface.co/Kooten/DaringMaid-20B).
## Provided files, and AWQ parameters
I currently release 128g GEMM models only. The addition of group_size 32 models, and GEMV kernel models, is being actively considered.
Models are released as sharded safetensors files.

## Multi-user inference server: vLLM
Documentation on installing and using vLLM [can be found here](https://vllm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
- Please ensure you are using vLLM version 0.2 or later.
- When using vLLM as a server, pass the `--quantization awq` parameter.
For example:
```shell
python3 -m vllm.entrypoints.api_server --model TheBloke/DaringMaid-20B-AWQ --quantization awq --dtype auto
```
- When using vLLM from Python code, again set `quantization=awq`.
For example:
```python
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
prompts = [
"Tell me about AI",
"Write a story about llamas",
"What is 291 - 150?",
"How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?",
]
prompt_template=f'''Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
{prompt}
### Response:
'''
prompts = [prompt_template.format(prompt=prompt) for prompt in prompts]
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)
llm = LLM(model="TheBloke/DaringMaid-20B-AWQ", quantization="awq", dtype="auto")
outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)
# Print the outputs.
for output in outputs:
prompt = output.prompt
generated_text = output.outputs[0].text
print(f"Prompt: {prompt!r}, Generated text: {generated_text!r}")
```
## Multi-user inference server: Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)
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/DaringMaid-20B-AWQ --port 3000 --quantize awq --max-input-length 3696 --max-total-tokens 4096 --max-batch-prefill-tokens 4096
```
Example Python code for interfacing with TGI (requires [huggingface-hub](https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub) 0.17.0 or later):
```shell
pip3 install huggingface-hub
```
```python
from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient
endpoint_url = "https://your-endpoint-url-here"
prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
{prompt}
### Response:
'''
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)
```
## Inference from Python code using Transformers
### Install the necessary packages
- Requires: [Transformers](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers) 4.35.0 or later.
- Requires: [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) 0.1.6 or later.
```shell
pip3 install --upgrade "autoawq>=0.1.6" "transformers>=4.35.0"
```
Note that if you are using PyTorch 2.0.1, the above AutoAWQ command will automatically upgrade you to PyTorch 2.1.0.
If you are using CUDA 11.8 and wish to continue using PyTorch 2.0.1, instead run this command:
```shell
pip3 install https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ/releases/download/v0.1.6/autoawq-0.1.6+cu118-cp310-cp310-linux_x86_64.whl
```
If you have problems installing [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) using the pre-built wheels, install it from source instead:
```shell
pip3 uninstall -y autoawq
git clone https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ
cd AutoAWQ
pip3 install .
```
### Transformers example code (requires Transformers 4.35.0 and later)
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, TextStreamer
model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/DaringMaid-20B-AWQ"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_name_or_path,
low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
device_map="cuda:0"
)
# Using the text streamer to stream output one token at a time
streamer = TextStreamer(tokenizer, skip_prompt=True, skip_special_tokens=True)
prompt = "Tell me about AI"
prompt_template=f'''Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
{prompt}
### Response:
'''
# Convert prompt to tokens
tokens = tokenizer(
prompt_template,
return_tensors='pt'
).input_ids.cuda()
generation_params = {
"do_sample": True,
"temperature": 0.7,
"top_p": 0.95,
"top_k": 40,
"max_new_tokens": 512,
"repetition_penalty": 1.1
}
# Generate streamed output, visible one token at a time
generation_output = model.generate(
tokens,
streamer=streamer,
**generation_params
)
# Generation without a streamer, which will include the prompt in the output
generation_output = model.generate(
tokens,
**generation_params
)
# Get the tokens from the output, decode them, print them
token_output = generation_output[0]
text_output = tokenizer.decode(token_output)
print("model.generate output: ", text_output)
# Inference is also possible via Transformers' pipeline
from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline(
"text-generation",
model=model,
tokenizer=tokenizer,
**generation_params
)
pipe_output = pipe(prompt_template)[0]['generated_text']
print("pipeline output: ", pipe_output)

# Original model card: Kooten's DaringMaid 20B
# DaringMaid-20B
My goal was to make a Noromaid that's smarter and better at following instructions.
After trying a bunch of different recipes I think this one turned out pretty good
- I used [sequelbox/DynamicFactor](https://huggingface.co/sequelbox/DynamicFactor) as a base to as its supposed "improve overall knowledge, precise communication, conceptual understanding, and technical skill" over the base llama2.
- [NeverSleep/Noromaid](https://huggingface.co/NeverSleep/Noromaid-13b-v0.1.1) of course.
- [Undi95/Utopia](https://huggingface.co/Undi95/Utopia-13B) has been recommended again recently and its still really good so in the mixer it goes
- I liked [tavtav/Rose](https://huggingface.co/tavtav/Rose-20B) so i threw in a bit of [CalderaAI/Thorns](https://huggingface.co/CalderaAI/13B-Thorns-l2)
- There was recently a model that tried to pass itself off as [Gryphe/MythoMax](https://huggingface.co/Gryphe/MythoMax-L2-13b), i made a merge with that model before it was revealed to be MythoMax and it turned out pretty good so i used it.
The .yml config files for mergekit with the exact merges can be found in the ["Recipe"](https://huggingface.co/Kooten/DaringMaid/tree/main/Recipe) folder in the [fp16 repo](https://huggingface.co/Kooten/DaringMaid-20B)
