# CodeLlama 7B Instruct - GGUF
- Model creator: [Meta](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama)
- Original model: [CodeLlama 7B Instruct](https://ai.meta.com/resources/models-and-libraries/llama-downloads)
## Description
This repo contains GGUF format model files for [Meta's CodeLlama 7B Instruct](https://ai.meta.com/resources/models-and-libraries/llama-downloads).
### About GGUF
GGUF is a new format introduced by the llama.cpp team on August 21st 2023. It is a replacement for GGML, which is no longer supported by llama.cpp.
The key benefit of GGUF is that it is a extensible, future-proof format which stores more information about the model as metadata. It also includes significantly improved tokenization code, including for the first time full support for special tokens. This should improve performance, especially with models that use new special tokens and implement custom prompt templates.
As of August 24th 2023, llama.cpp and KoboldCpp support GGUF. Other third-party clients and libraries are expected to add support very soon.
Here is a list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF:
* [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp)
* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp), now supports GGUF as of release 1.41!
Here is a list of clients and libraries, along with their expected timeline for GGUF support. Where possible a link to the relevant issue or PR is provided:
* [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), awaiting llama-cpp-python support.
* [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/), in active development - hoped to be ready by August 25th-26th.
* [LoLLMS Web UI](https://github.com/ParisNeo/lollms-webui), will work as soon as ctransformers or llama-cpp-python is updated.
* [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers), [development will start soon](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers/issues/102).
* [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python), [in active development](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python/issues/628).

## Compatibility
These quantised GGUF files are compatible with llama.cpp from August 21st 2023 onwards, as of commit [6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9)
As of August 24th 2023 they are now compatible with KoboldCpp, release 1.41 and later.
They are are not yet compatible with any other third-party UIS, libraries or utilities but this is expected to change very soon.
## Explanation of quantisation methods
Click to see details
The new methods available are:
* GGML_TYPE_Q2_K - "type-1" 2-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 16 blocks, each block having 16 weight. Block scales and mins are quantized with 4 bits. This ends up effectively using 2.5625 bits per weight (bpw)
* GGML_TYPE_Q3_K - "type-0" 3-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 6 bits. This end up using 3.4375 bpw.
* GGML_TYPE_Q4_K - "type-1" 4-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 8 blocks, each block having 32 weights. Scales and mins are quantized with 6 bits. This ends up using 4.5 bpw.
* GGML_TYPE_Q5_K - "type-1" 5-bit quantization. Same super-block structure as GGML_TYPE_Q4_K resulting in 5.5 bpw
* GGML_TYPE_Q6_K - "type-0" 6-bit quantization. Super-blocks with 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 8 bits. This ends up using 6.5625 bpw

**Note**: the above RAM figures assume no GPU offloading. If layers are offloaded to the GPU, this will reduce RAM usage and use VRAM instead.
## How to run in `llama.cpp`
Make sure you are using `llama.cpp` from commit [6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9) or later.
For compatibility with older versions of llama.cpp, or for use with third-party clients and libaries, please use GGML files instead.
```
./main -t 10 -ngl 32 -m codellama-7b-instruct.q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 2048 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "### Instruction: Write a story about llamas\n### Response:"
```
Change `-t 10` to the number of physical CPU cores you have. For example if your system has 8 cores/16 threads, use `-t 8`.
Change `-ngl 32` to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.
Change `-c 4096` to the desired sequence length for this model. For extended sequence models - eg 8K, 16K, 32K - the necessary RoPE scaling parameters should be set by llama.cpp automatically. If they are not, or if you need to change them manually, you can use `--rope-freq-base 10000 --rope-freq-scale 0.5` for doubled context, or `--rope-freq-base 10000 --rope-freq-scale 0.25` for 4x context.
If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the `-p ` argument with `-i -ins`
For other parameters and how to use them, please refer to [the llama.cpp documentation](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/examples/main/README.md)

# Original model card
# Code Llama
## **Model Details**
**Model Developers** Meta AI
**Variations** Code Llama comes in three model sizes, and three variants:
1) Code Llama: our base models designed for general code synthesis and understanding
2) Code Llama - Python: designed specifically for Python
3) Code Llama - Instruct: for instruction following and safer deployment
All variants are available in sizes of 7B, 13B and 34B parameters.
**Input** Models input text only.
**Output** Models output text only.
**Model Architecture** Code Llama and its variants are autoregressive language models using optimized transformer architectures. Code Llama 7B and 13B additionally support infilling text generation. All models were fine-tuned with up to 16K tokens, and support up to 100K tokens at inference time.
**Model Dates** Code Llama and its variants have been trained between January 2023 and July 2023.
**Status** This is a static model trained on an offline dataset. Future versions of Code Llama - Instruct will be released as we improve model safety with community feedback.
**Licence** A custom commercial license is available at: [https://ai.meta.com/resources/models-and-libraries/llama-downloads/](https://ai.meta.com/resources/models-and-libraries/llama-downloads/).
**Research Paper** More information can be found in the paper "[Code Llama: Open Foundation Models for Code](https://ai.meta.com/research/publications/code-llama-open-foundation-models-for-code/)".
**Where to send comments** Instructions on how to provide feedback or comments on the model can be found in the model [README](README.md), or by opening an issue in the GitHub repository ([https://github.com/facebookresearch/codellama/](https://github.com/facebookresearch/codellama/)).
## **Intended Use**
**Intended Use Cases** Code Llama and its variants is intended for commercial and research use in English and relevant programming languages. The base model Code Llama can be adapted for a variety of code synthesis and understanding tasks, Code Llama - Python is designed specifically to handle the Python programming language, and Code Llama - Instruct is intended to be safer to use for code assistant and generation applications.
**Out-of-Scope Uses** Use in any manner that violates applicable laws or regulations (including trade compliance laws). Use in languages other than English. Use in any other way that is prohibited by the Acceptable Use Policy and Licensing Agreement for Code Llama and its variants.
## **Hardware and Software**
**Training Factors**
We used custom training libraries. The training and fine-tuning of the released models have been performed Meta’s Research Super Cluster.
**Carbon Footprint** In aggregate, training all 9 Code Llama models required 400K GPU hours of computation on hardware of type A100-80GB (TDP of 350-400W). Estimated total emissions were 65.3 tCO2eq, 100% of which were offset by Meta’s sustainability program.
**Training data**
All experiments reported here and the released models have been trained and fine-tuned using the same data as Llama 2 with different weights (see Section 2 and Table 1 in the [research paper](https://ai.meta.com/research/publications/code-llama-open-foundation-models-for-code/) for details).
Code Llama - Instruct uses additional instruction fine-tuning data.
**Evaluation Results**
See evaluations for the main models and detailed ablations in Section 3 and safety evaluations in Section 4 of the research paper.
## **Ethical Considerations and Limitations**
Code Llama and its variants are a new technology that carries risks with use. Testing conducted to date has been in English, and has not covered, nor could it cover all scenarios. For these reasons, as with all LLMs, Code Llama’s potential outputs cannot be predicted in advance, and the model may in some instances produce inaccurate or objectionable responses to user prompts. Therefore, before deploying any applications of Code Llama, developers should perform safety testing and tuning tailored to their specific applications of the model.
