medalpaca-13B-GGML

This is GGML format quantised 4-bit, 5-bit and 8-bit GGML models of Medalpaca 13B.

This repo is the result of quantising to 4-bit, 5-bit and 8-bit GGML for CPU (+CUDA) inference using llama.cpp.

Repositories available

THE FILES IN MAIN BRANCH REQUIRES LATEST LLAMA.CPP (May 19th 2023 - commit 2d5db48)!

llama.cpp recently made another breaking change to its quantisation methods - https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/1508

I have quantised the GGML files in this repo with the latest version. Therefore you will require llama.cpp compiled on May 19th or later (commit 2d5db48 or later) to use them.

For files compatible with the previous version of llama.cpp, please see branch previous_llama_ggmlv2.

Provided files

Name Quant method Bits Size RAM required Use case
medalpaca-13B.ggmlv3.q4_0.bin q4_0 4bit 8.14GB 10.5GB 4-bit.
medalpaca-13B.ggmlv3.q4_1.bin q4_1 4bit 8.14GB 10.5GB 4-bit. Higher accuracy than q4_0 but not as high as q5_0. However has quicker inference than q5 models.
medalpaca-13B.ggmlv3.q5_0.bin q5_0 5bit 8.95GB 11.0GB 5-bit. Higher accuracy, higher resource usage and slower inference.
medalpaca-13B.ggmlv3.q5_1.bin q5_1 5bit 9.76GB 12.25GB 5-bit. Even higher accuracy, and higher resource usage and slower inference.
medalpaca-13B.ggmlv3.q8_0.bin q8_0 8bit 14.6GB 17GB 8-bit. Almost indistinguishable from float16. Huge resource use and slow. Not recommended for normal use.

How to run in llama.cpp

I use the following command line; adjust for your tastes and needs:

./main -t 8 -m medalpaca-13B.ggmlv3.q5_0.bin --color -c 2048 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "### Instruction: write a story about llamas ### Response:"

Change -t 8 to the number of physical CPU cores you have.

How to run in text-generation-webui

GGML models can be loaded into text-generation-webui by installing the llama.cpp module, then placing the ggml model file in a model folder as usual.

Further instructions here: text-generation-webui/docs/llama.cpp-models.md.

Note: at this time text-generation-webui may not support the new May 19th llama.cpp quantisation methods for q4_0, q4_1 and q8_0 files.

Thanks, and how to contribute.

Thanks to the chirper.ai team!

I've had a lot of people ask if they can contribute. I enjoy providing models and helping people, and would love to be able to spend even more time doing it, as well as expanding into new projects like fine tuning/training.

If you're able and willing to contribute it will be most gratefully received and will help me to keep providing more models, and to start work on new AI projects.

Donaters will get priority support on any and all AI/LLM/model questions and requests, access to a private Discord room, plus other benefits.

Model Description

Model Description

Architecture

medalpaca-13b is a large language model specifically fine-tuned for medical domain tasks. It is based on LLaMA (Large Language Model Meta AI) and contains 13 billion parameters. The primary goal of this model is to improve question-answering and medical dialogue tasks.

Training Data

The training data for this project was sourced from various resources. Firstly, we used Anki flashcards to automatically generate questions, from the front of the cards and anwers from the back of the card. Secondly, we generated medical question-answer pairs from Wikidoc. We extracted paragraphs with relevant headings, and used Chat-GPT 3.5 to generate questions from the headings and using the corresponding paragraphs as answers. This dataset is still under development and we believe that approximately 70% of these question answer pairs are factual correct. Thirdly, we used StackExchange to extract question-answer pairs, taking the top-rated question from five categories: Academia, Bioinformatics, Biology, Fitness, and Health. Additionally, we used a dataset from ChatDoctor consisting of 200,000 question-answer pairs, available at https://github.com/Kent0n-Li/ChatDoctor.

Model Usage

To evaluate the performance of the model on a specific dataset, you can use the Hugging Face Transformers library's built-in evaluation scripts. Please refer to the evaluation guide for more information. Inference

You can use the model for inference tasks like question-answering and medical dialogues using the Hugging Face Transformers library. Here's an example of how to use the model for a question-answering task:


from transformers import pipeline

qa_pipeline = pipeline("question-answering", model="medalpaca/medalpaca-7b", tokenizer="medalpaca/medalpaca-7b")
question = "What are the symptoms of diabetes?"
context = "Diabetes is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar. The symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, and unexplained weight loss."
answer = qa_pipeline({"question": question, "context": context})
print(answer)

Limitations

The model may not perform effectively outside the scope of the medical domain. The training data primarily targets the knowledge level of medical students, which may result in limitations when addressing the needs of board-certified physicians. The model has not been tested in real-world applications, so its efficacy and accuracy are currently unknown. It should never be used as a substitute for a doctor's opinion and must be treated as a research tool only.
