SandLogic Technologies - Quantized Llama3-Med42-8B Models

Model Description

We have quantized the Llama3-Med42-8B model into two variants:

1. Q5_KM
2. Q4_KM

These quantized models offer improved efficiency while maintaining performance.

Original Model Information

• Name: Llama3-Med42-8B
• Developer: M42 Health AI Team
• Base Model: Llama3-8B-Instruct
• Model Type: Clinical large language model (LLM)
• Parameters: 8 billion
• Context Length: 8k tokens
• Input: Text only
• Output: Text only
• License: Llama 3 Community License Agreement

Model Capabilities

Llama3-Med42-8B is designed for medical and healthcare-related tasks, including:

• Medical question answering
• Patient record summarization
• Aiding medical diagnosis
• General health Q&A

Training Data

The model was instruction-tuned using a dataset of approximately 1 billion tokens compiled from various open-access and high-quality sources, including:

• Medical flashcards
• Exam questions
• Open-domain dialogues

Important Limitations and Safe Use

DISCLAIMER: This model is not yet ready for clinical use without further testing and validation. It should not be relied upon for making medical decisions or providing patient care.

• Potential for generating incorrect or harmful information
• Risk of perpetuating biases in training data
• Requires extensive human evaluation to ensure safety

Use Cases

While not ready for real clinical use, potential applications include:

1. Medical Education: Assist in studying and understanding medical concepts
2. Research Support: Aid in literature review and hypothesis generation
3. Health Information: Provide general health information (with appropriate disclaimers)
4. Clinical Decision Support: (Future potential) Enhance clinical decision-making processes

Model Variants

We offer two quantized versions of the Llama3-Med42-8B model:

1. Q5_KM: 5-bit quantization using the KM method
2. Q4_KM: 4-bit quantization using the KM method

These quantized models aim to reduce model size and improve inference speed while maintaining performance as close to the original model as possible.

Usage

pip install llama-cpp-python 

Please refer to the llama-cpp-python documentation to install with GPU support.

Basic Text Completion

Here's an example demonstrating how to use the high-level API for basic text completion:

from llama_cpp import Llama

llm = Llama(
    model_path="./models/7B/Llama3-Med42-8B.gguf",
    verbose=False,
    # n_gpu_layers=-1, # Uncomment to use GPU acceleration
    # n_ctx=2048, # Uncomment to increase the context window
)

output = llm.create_chat_completion(
    messages =[
    {
        "role": "system",
        "content": (
            "You are a helpful, respectful and honest medical assistant. You are a second version of Med42 developed by the AI team at M42, UAE. "
            "Always answer as helpfully as possible, while being safe. "
            "Your answers should not include any harmful, unethical, racist, sexist, toxic, dangerous, or illegal content. "
            "Please ensure that your responses are socially unbiased and positive in nature. If a question does not make any sense, or is not factually coherent, explain why instead of answering something not correct. "
            "If you don’t know the answer to a question, please don’t share false information."
        ),
    },
    {"role": "user", "content": "What are the symptoms of diabetes?"},
]
)

print(output["choices"][0]['message']['content'])

Download

You can download Llama models in gguf format directly from Hugging Face using the from_pretrained method. This feature requires the huggingface-hub package.

To install it, run: pip install huggingface-hub

from llama_cpp import Llama

llm = Llama.from_pretrained(
    repo_id="SandLogicTechnologies/Llama3-Med42-8B-GGUF",
    filename="*Llama3-Med42-8B-Q5_K_M.gguf",
    verbose=False
)

By default, from_pretrained will download the model to the Hugging Face cache directory. You can manage installed model files using the huggingface-cli tool.

Ethical Considerations

Users must be aware of the model's limitations and potential biases. It should not be used for direct medical advice or decision-making without proper validation and human oversight.
