+# Bigcode's StarcoderPlus GGML
+These files are GGML format model files for [Bigcode's StarcoderPlus](https://huggingface.co/bigcode/starcoderplus).
+GGML files are for CPU + GPU inference using [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp) and libraries and UIs which support this format, such as:
+* [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui)
+* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp)
+* [ParisNeo/GPT4All-UI](https://github.com/ParisNeo/gpt4all-ui)
+* [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python)
+* [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers)
+## Repositories available
+* [4-bit GPTQ models for GPU inference](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/starcoderplus-GPTQ)
+* [2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8-bit GGML models for CPU+GPU inference](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/starcoderplus-GGML)

+## Compatibility
+### Original llama.cpp quant methods: `q4_0, q4_1, q5_0, q5_1, q8_0`
+I have quantized these 'original' quantisation methods using an older version of llama.cpp so that they remain compatible with llama.cpp as of May 19th, commit `2d5db48`.
+They should be compatible with all current UIs and libraries that use llama.cpp, such as those listed at the top of this README.
+### New k-quant methods: `q2_K, q3_K_S, q3_K_M, q3_K_L, q4_K_S, q4_K_M, q5_K_S, q6_K`
+These new quantisation methods are only compatible with llama.cpp as of June 6th, commit `2d43387`.
+They will NOT be compatible with koboldcpp, text-generation-ui, and other UIs and libraries yet. Support is expected to come over the next few days.
+## Explanation of the new k-quant methods
+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
+* GGML_TYPE_Q8_K - "type-0" 8-bit quantization. Only used for quantizing intermediate results. The difference to the existing Q8_0 is that the block size is 256. All 2-6 bit dot products are implemented for this quantization type.
+Refer to the Provided Files table below to see what files use which methods, and how.

+## Provided files
+| Name | Quant method | Bits | Size | Max RAM required | Use case |
+| ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ----- |
+| starcoderplus.ggmlv3.q4_0.bin | q4_0 | 4 | 10.75 GB | 13.25 GB | Original llama.cpp quant method, 4-bit. |
+| starcoderplus.ggmlv3.q4_1.bin | q4_1 | 4 | 11.92 GB | 14.42 GB | Original llama.cpp quant method, 4-bit. Higher accuracy than q4_0 but not as high as q5_0. However has quicker inference than q5 models. |
+| starcoderplus.ggmlv3.q5_0.bin | q5_0 | 5 | 13.09 GB | 15.59 GB | Original llama.cpp quant method, 5-bit. Higher accuracy, higher resource usage and slower inference. |
+| starcoderplus.ggmlv3.q5_1.bin | q5_1 | 5 | 14.26 GB | 16.76 GB | Original llama.cpp quant method, 5-bit. Even higher accuracy, resource usage and slower inference. |
+| starcoderplus.ggmlv3.q8_0.bin | q8_0 | 8 | 20.11 GB | 22.61 GB | Original llama.cpp quant method, 8-bit. Almost indistinguishable from float16. High resource use and slow. Not recommended for most users. |
+**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`
+I use the following command line; adjust for your tastes and needs:
+```
+./main -t 10 -ngl 32 -m starcoder-plus.ggmlv3.q5_0.bin --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.
+If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the `-p <PROMPT>` argument with `-i -ins`
+## How to run in `text-generation-webui`
+Further instructions here: [text-generation-webui/docs/llama.cpp-models.md](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/main/docs/llama.cpp-models.md).
