Using <a href="https://github.com/turboderp/exllamav2/releases/tag/v0.0.18">turboderp's ExLlamaV2 v0.0.18</a> for quantization.

<b>The "main" branch only contains the measurement.json, download one of the other branches for the model (see below)</b>

Each branch contains an individual bits per weight, with the main one containing only the meaurement.json for further conversions.

Original model: https://huggingface.co/Vezora/Mistral-22B-v0.2

## Prompt Format 

```
### System: {system_prompt}
### Human: {prompt}

## Download instructions

With git:

```shell
git clone --single-branch --branch 6_5 https://huggingface.co/bartowski/Mistral-22B-v0.2-exl2
```

With huggingface hub (credit to TheBloke for instructions):

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

To download the `main` (only useful if you only care about measurement.json) branch to a folder called `Mistral-22B-v0.2-exl2`:

```shell
mkdir Mistral-22B-v0.2-exl2
huggingface-cli download bartowski/Mistral-22B-v0.2-exl2 --local-dir Mistral-22B-v0.2-exl2 --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```

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

Linux:

```shell
mkdir Mistral-22B-v0.2-exl2-6_5
huggingface-cli download bartowski/Mistral-22B-v0.2-exl2 --revision 6_5 --local-dir Mistral-22B-v0.2-exl2-6_5 --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```

Windows (which apparently doesn't like _ in folders sometimes?):

```shell
mkdir Mistral-22B-v0.2-exl2-6.5
huggingface-cli download bartowski/Mistral-22B-v0.2-exl2 --revision 6_5 --local-dir Mistral-22B-v0.2-exl2-6.5 --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```
