## 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.
All GPTQ files are made with AutoGPTQ.
Explanation of GPTQ parameters
- 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 issues with models that use Act Order plus Group Size.
- 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 dataset used for quantisation. Using a dataset more appropriate to the model's training can improve quantisation accuracy. Note that the GPTQ 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 models in 4-bit.

## How to download from branches
- In text-generation-webui, you can add `:branch` to the end of the download name, eg `TheBloke/vicuna-13B-v1.5-16K-GPTQ:gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True`
- With Git, you can clone a branch with:
```
git clone --single-branch --branch gptq-4bit-32g-actorder_True https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/vicuna-13B-v1.5-16K-GPTQ
```
- In Python Transformers code, the branch is the `revision` parameter; see below.

The primary use of Vicuna is research on large language models and chatbots.
The primary intended users of the model are researchers and hobbyists in natural language processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
## How to Get Started with the Model
- Command line interface: https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat#vicuna-weights
- APIs (OpenAI API, Huggingface API): https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat/tree/main#api
## Training Details
Vicuna v1.5 (16k) is fine-tuned from Llama 2 with supervised instruction fine-tuning and linear RoPE scaling.
The training data is around 125K conversations collected from ShareGPT.com. These conversations are packed into sequences that contain 16K tokens each.
See more details in the "Training Details of Vicuna Models" section in the appendix of this [paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.05685.pdf).
## Evaluation
Vicuna is evaluated with standard benchmarks, human preference, and LLM-as-a-judge. See more details in this [paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.05685.pdf) and [leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/lmsys/chatbot-arena-leaderboard).
