## 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.

<details>
  <summary>Explanation of GPTQ parameters</summary>

- Bits: The bit size of the quantised model.
- GS: GPTQ group size. Higher numbers use less VRAM, but have lower quantisation accuracy. "None" is the lowest possible value.
- Act Order: True or False. Also known as `desc_act`. True results in better quantisation accuracy. Some GPTQ clients have had issues with models that use Act Order plus Group Size, but this is generally resolved now.
- Damp %: A GPTQ parameter that affects how samples are processed for quantisation. 0.01 is default, but 0.1 results in slightly better accuracy.
- GPTQ dataset: The calibration dataset used during quantisation. Using a dataset more appropriate to the model's training can improve quantisation accuracy. Note that the GPTQ calibration dataset is not the same as the dataset used to train the model - please refer to the original model repo for details of the training dataset(s).
- Sequence Length: The length of the dataset sequences used for quantisation. Ideally this is the same as the model sequence length. For some very long sequence models (16+K), a lower sequence length may have to be used. Note that a lower sequence length does not limit the sequence length of the quantised model. It only impacts the quantisation accuracy on longer inference sequences.
- ExLlama Compatibility: Whether this file can be loaded with ExLlama, which currently only supports Llama and Mistral models in 4-bit.

## How to download, including from branches

### In text-generation-webui

To download from the `main` branch, enter `TheBloke/DiscoLM_German_7b_v1-GPTQ` in the "Download model" box.

To download from another branch, add `:branchname` to the end of the download name, eg `TheBloke/DiscoLM_German_7b_v1-GPTQ:gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True`

### From the command line

I recommend using the `huggingface-hub` Python library:

```shell
pip3 install huggingface-hub
```

To download the `main` branch to a folder called `DiscoLM_German_7b_v1-GPTQ`:

```shell
mkdir DiscoLM_German_7b_v1-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/DiscoLM_German_7b_v1-GPTQ --local-dir DiscoLM_German_7b_v1-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```

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

```shell
mkdir DiscoLM_German_7b_v1-GPTQ
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/DiscoLM_German_7b_v1-GPTQ --revision gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True --local-dir DiscoLM_German_7b_v1-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```

<details>
  <summary>More advanced huggingface-cli download usage</summary>

If you remove the `--local-dir-use-symlinks False` parameter, the files will instead be stored in the central Hugging Face cache directory (default location on Linux is: `~/.cache/huggingface`), and symlinks will be added to the specified `--local-dir`, pointing to their real location in the cache. This allows for interrupted downloads to be resumed, and allows you to quickly clone the repo to multiple places on disk without triggering a download again. The downside, and the reason why I don't list that as the default option, is that the files are then hidden away in a cache folder and it's harder to know where your disk space is being used, and to clear it up if/when you want to remove a download model.

The cache location can be changed with the `HF_HOME` environment variable, and/or the `--cache-dir` parameter to `huggingface-cli`.

For more documentation on downloading with `huggingface-cli`, please see: [HF -> Hub Python Library -> Download files -> Download from the CLI](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/guides/download#download-from-the-cli).

To accelerate downloads on fast connections (1Gbit/s or higher), install `hf_transfer`:

```shell
pip3 install hf_transfer
```

And set environment variable `HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER` to `1`:

```shell
mkdir DiscoLM_German_7b_v1-GPTQ
HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/DiscoLM_German_7b_v1-GPTQ --local-dir DiscoLM_German_7b_v1-GPTQ --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```

Windows Command Line users: You can set the environment variable by running `set HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1` before the download command.
</details>

### With `git` (**not** recommended)

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

```shell
git clone --single-branch --branch gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/DiscoLM_German_7b_v1-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.)

## 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.

```shell
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:

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

### Example Python code

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, pipeline

model_name_or_path = "TheBloke/DiscoLM_German_7b_v1-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 = "Write a story about llamas"
system_message = "You are a story writing assistant"
prompt_template=f'''<|im_start|>system
{system_message}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
{prompt}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>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'])

# Introduction

**DiscoLM German 7b** is a Mistral-based large language model with a focus on German-language applications and the successor of the [EM German](https://huggingface.co/jphme/em_german_leo_mistral) model family. 
It was trained on a large dataset of instructions in German and English with a SFT finetuning phase followed by additional DPO reinforcement learning. 
The model is optimized for German text, providing proficiency in understanding, generating, and interacting with German language content while preserving its fluency in English and excelling at translation tasks.

Our goal with Disco LM German was not to beat benchmarks, but to provide a robust and reliable model for everyday use that can serve as a drop-in replacement for ChatGPT and other proprietary models. 
We find that the perceived quality of it´s German-language output is even higher than GPT-4 in many cases; however it won't compete with larger models and top English 7b models for very complex reasoning, math or coding tasks.

# Demo

Please find a Demo and try the model at [demo.discoresearch.org](https://demo.discoresearch.org/) (in case the Demo is down and you have questions, you can contact us on our [Discord](https://discord.gg/ttNdas89f3)).

# Prompt Format

DiscoLM German uses ChatML as the prompt format which enables OpenAI endpoint compatability and is supported by most inference libraries and frontends.

System prompts allow steerability and interesting new ways to interact with an LLM, guiding rules, roles, and stylistic choices of the model.

```
<|im_start|>system
Du bist ein hilfreicher Assistent.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
Wer bist du?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Ich bin ein Sprachmodell namens DiscoLM German und ich wurde von DiscoResearch trainiert.<|im_end|>
```

This prompt is available as a [chat template](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/chat_templating), which means you can format messages using the
`tokenizer.apply_chat_template()` method:

```python
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "Du bist ein hilfreicher Assistent."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Wer bist du?"}
]
gen_input = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(message, return_tensors="pt")
model.generate(**gen_input)
```

When tokenizing messages for generation, set `add_generation_prompt=True` when calling `apply_chat_template()`. This will append `<|im_start|>assistant\n` to your prompt, to ensure
that the model continues with an assistant response.

## Retrieval Format

You can use a special retrieval format to improve steerability and reduce hallucinations for RAG applications (but other, more default formats should also work, this is purely optional)

Example:

```
### System:

Du bist ein hilfreicher Assistent. Für die folgende Aufgabe stehen dir zwischen den Tags BEGININPUT und ENDINPUT mehrere Quellen zur Verfügung. Metadaten zu den einzelnen Quellen wie Autor, URL o.ä. sind zwischen BEGINCONTEXT und ENDCONTEXT zu finden, danach folgt der Text der Quelle. Die eigentliche Aufgabe oder Frage ist zwischen BEGININSTRUCTION und ENDINSTRUCTION zu finden. Beantworte diese ausschließlich mit Informationen aus den gegebenen Quellen und gebe die Information zur genutzten Quelle  unter "Quelle:" an. Sollten die Quellen keine relevanten Informationen enthalten, antworte: "Mit den gegebenen Informationen ist diese Frage nicht zu beantworten."

### User Prompt:

BEGININPUT
BEGINCONTEXT
url: https://this.is.fake.news
time: 2089-09-01
ENDCONTEXT
Buxtehude ist die größte Stadt Deutschlands mit 96.56 Millionen Einwohnern.
ENDINPUT

BEGININSTRUCTION
Was ist die größte deutsche Stadt?
ENDINSTRUCTION

### Model Answer:

Die größte deutsche Stadt ist Buxtehude.

Quelle:
  url: https://this.is.fake.news
  time: 2089-09-01

```

## Function Calling

The model also supports structured outputs/function calling, albeit this is a very experimental feature and YMMV.
This will be improved in the future.

The model will prefix functioncalls with `<functioncall>` and you can provide results in response with `<functionresponse>` for Multi-Turn applications.

Example:

```
### System:

Du bist ein hilfreicher Assistent. Extrahiere alle Personen aus den Eingaben des Users.

Du hast Zugriff auf folgende Funktionen:

{'name': 'PersonList',
 'description': 'Extrahiere die Namen aller im Text vorkommenden Personen',
 'parameters': {'$defs': {'Person': {'description': 'Details über eine person',
    'properties': {'name': {'title': 'Name', 'type': 'string'},
     'job': {'anyOf': [{'type': 'string'}, {'type': 'null'}], 'title': 'Job'},
     'age': {'anyOf': [{'type': 'integer'}, {'type': 'null'}],
      'title': 'Age'}},
    'required': ['name', 'job', 'age'],
    'title': 'Person',
    'type': 'object'}},
  'properties': {'person_list': {'items': {'$ref': '#/$defs/Person'},
    'title': 'Person List',
    'type': 'array'}},
  'required': ['person_list'],
  'type': 'object'}}

### User Prompt:

Björn (25) und Jan sind die Gründer von ellamind.

### Model Answer:

<functioncall> {"name": "PersonList", "arguments": '{"person_list": ["{"name": "Björn", "job": "founder", "age": 25}, {"name": "Jan", "job": "founder", "age": null}]}'}

```


# Results

-to follow -

# Evaluation

As written above, we believe that current benchmarks don't capture the full spectrum of LLM capabilities very well. We didn't look at any benchmark results (besides training losses) until the work on DiscoLM was finished and didn't include any data resembling common benchmark formats in our training data.

That said, preliminary results with a German version of MT Bench show promising results: While lacking for coding and extraxtion tasks, DiscoLM German 7b performs not far below GPT-3.5-turbo on many tasks and even singificantly outperforms it in the reasoning category.

![MTBench_DE_Results](mtbench_de_discolm_german_7b.png)

Additional Benchmark results will follow. The biggest strength of this model (language quality as perceived by native speakers) can't yet be captured in a benchmark - please let us know if you have an idea how to change this!

# Dataset

The dataset is a mixture of multi-turn chats, retrieval instructions and synthetically generated instructions spawning many topics and applications.


# Limitations & Biases

This model can produce factually incorrect and offensive output, and should not be relied on to produce factually accurate information.
This model was trained on various public datasets. While great efforts have been taken to clean the pretraining data, it is possible that this model could generate biased or otherwise offensive outputs and it is the responsibility of the user to implement a safety/moderation layer. Please use with caution.
