Nous Puffin 70B - GGUF
- Model creator: NousResearch
- Original model: Nous Puffin 70B
Description
This repo contains GGUF format model files for NousResearch's Nous Puffin 70B.
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 23rd 2023, only llama.cpp supports GGUF. However, third-party clients and libraries are expected to add support very soon.
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, awaiting llama-cpp-python support.
- KoboldCpp, in active development. Test builds are working, but GPU acceleration remains to be tested.
- LM Studio, in active development - hoped to be ready by August 25th-26th.
- LoLLMS Web UI, will work as soon as ctransformers or llama-cpp-python is updated.
- ctransformers, development will start soon.
- llama-cpp-python, in active development.
Repositories available

Compatibility
These quantised GGUF files are compatible with llama.cpp from August 21st 2023 onwards, as of commit 6381d4e110bd0ec02843a60bbeb8b6fc37a9ace9
As of August 23rd 2023 they are not yet compatible with any 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
- 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.

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 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 nous-puffin-70b.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 <PROMPT> argument with -i -ins
For other parameters and how to use them, please refer to the llama.cpp documentation

Original model card: NousResearch's Nous Puffin 70B
Redmond-Puffin-70B
Based off Puffin 13B which was the first commercially available language model released by Nous Research!
Compute provided by PygmalionAI, thank you! Follow PygmalionAI on Twitter @pygmalion_ai.
This is a larger version of Puffin which was originally the worlds first third-party llama-2 fine-tune. leveraging a hand curated set of 3K high quality examples, many of which take full advantage of the 4096 context length of Llama 2. This model was fine-tuned by Nous Research, with LDJ leading the training and dataset curation, along with significant dataset formation contributions by J-Supha.
Special thank you to Pygmalion AI for sponsoring the compute.
Special thank you to Emozilla for assisting with training experimentations and benchmarking.
Model Training
Redmond-Puffin 70B is a new model trained for multiple epochs on a dataset of 3,000 carefully curated GPT-4 examples, most of which are long context conversations between a real human and GPT-4.
Additional data came from carefully curated sub sections of datasets such as CamelAI's Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Math.
Prompt Format
The reccomended model usage is:
### human:
### response:
Optional reccomended pre-prompt / system prompt:
### human: Interact in conversation to the best of your ability, please be concise, logical, intelligent and coherent.
### response: Sure! sounds good.
When should I use Puffin or Hermes 2?
Although full benchmarks have not completed for Puffin, Original Puffin 13B and Hermes-2 13B both beat previous SOTA for GPT4ALL benchmarks, with Hermes-2 winning by a 0.1% margin over Puffin.
Overall, for general purpose zero-shot and/or single turn instructions, Hermes will likely be the way to go. Puffin may be prefferred for creative long conversation interactions, like having Puffin play a character or help brain storm creative ideas or concepts that make contextual sense within an already deep conversation.
Thank you to the comprehensive analysis and comparison of Puffin and Hermes by reddit user WolframRavenwolf here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/158j9r9/nous_hermes_llama2_vs_redmond_puffin_13b/
Example Outputs!:
Notable Features:
The first Llama-2 based fine-tuned model released by Nous Research.
Ability to recall information upto 2023 without internet (ChatGPT cut off date is in 2021)
Pretrained on 2 trillion tokens of text. (This is double the amount of most Open LLM's)
Pretrained with a context length of 4096 tokens, and fine-tuned on a significant amount of multi-turn conversations reaching that full token limit.
The first commercially available language model released by Nous Research.
Future Plans
This is a relatively early build amongst the grand plans for the future of Puffin!
Current limitations: Some token mismatch problems have been identified, these may effect the current output quality, we plan to have this solved in Puffin V2 along with other improvements.
How you can help!
In the near future we plan on leveraging the help of domain specific expert volunteers to eliminate any mathematically/verifiably incorrect answers from our training curations.
If you have at-least a bachelors in mathematics, physics, biology or chemistry and would like to volunteer even just 30 minutes of your expertise time, please contact LDJ on discord!
Benchmarks (New benchmarks coming soon, however here are the 13B benchmarks for now)!
As of Puffins release, it achieves a new SOTA for the GPT4All benchmarks! Supplanting Hermes for the #1 position! (Rounded to nearest tenth)
Previous Sota: Hermes - 68.8 New Sota: Puffin - 69.9 (+1.1)
Puffin 13B supplants Hermes-2 for the #1 spot in Arc-E, HellaSwag and Winogrande!
Puffin also perfectly ties with Hermes in PIQA, however Hermes-2 still excels in much of Big Bench and AGIEval, so it's highly reccomended you give it a try as well!
