c4ai-command-r-v01 - EXL2 6.0bpw

This is a 6.0bpw EXL2 quant of CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01

Details about the model can be found at the above model page.

EXL2 Version

These quants were made with exllamav2 version 0.0.18. Quants made on this version of EXL2 may not work on older versions of the exllamav2 library.

If you have problems loading these models, please update Text Generation WebUI to the latest version.

RP Calibrated

The rpcal quants were made using data/PIPPA-cleaned/pippa_raw_fix.parquet for calibration.

Command-R-Plus Template

This is the Command-R-Plus template yaml that was used in EQ bench(which uses Text Generation Web UI yaml templates). It adds BOS_TOKEN into the starter prompt.

text-generation-webui/instruction-templates/Command-R-Plus.yaml:

instruction_template: |-
  {%- if messages[0]['role'] == 'system' -%}
      {%- set loop_messages = messages[1:] -%}
      {%- set system_message = messages[0]['content'] -%}
  {%- elif false == true -%}
      {%- set loop_messages = messages -%}
      {%- set system_message = 'You are Command-R, a brilliant, sophisticated, AI-assistant trained to assist human users by providing thorough responses. You are trained by Cohere.' -%}
  {%- else -%}
      {%- set loop_messages = messages -%}
      {%- set system_message = false -%}
  {%- endif -%}
  {%- if system_message != false -%}
      {{ '<BOS_TOKEN><|START_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|SYSTEM_TOKEN|>' + system_message + '<|END_OF_TURN_TOKEN|>' }}
  {%- endif -%}
  {%- for message in loop_messages -%}
      {%- set content = message['content'] -%}
      {%- if message['role'] == 'user' -%}
          {{ '<|START_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|USER_TOKEN|>' + content.strip() + '<|END_OF_TURN_TOKEN|>' }}
      {%- elif message['role'] == 'assistant' -%}
          {{ '<|START_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|CHATBOT_TOKEN|>'  + content.strip() + '<|END_OF_TURN_TOKEN|>' }}
