SandLogic Technology - Quantized SmolLM-1.7B-Instruct Models

Model Description

We have quantized the SmolLM-1.7B-Instruct model into three variants:

1. Q5_KM
2. Q4_KM
3. IQ4_XS

These quantized models offer improved efficiency while maintaining performance.

Original Model Information

• Name: SmolLM-1.7B-Instruct
• Model Type: Small language model
• Parameters: 1.7 billion
• Training Data: SmolLM-Corpus (curated high-quality educational and synthetic data)

Model Capabilities

SmolLM-1.7B-Instruct is designed for various natural language processing tasks, with capabilities including:

• General knowledge question answering
• Creative writing
• Basic Python programming

Finetuning Details

The model was finetuned on a mixture of datasets, including:

• 2k simple everyday conversations generated by llama3.1-70B
• Magpie-Pro-300K-Filtered
• StarCoder2-Self-OSS-Instruct
• A small subset of OpenHermes-2.5

Limitations

• English language only
• May struggle with arithmetic, editing tasks, and complex reasoning
• Generated content may not always be factually accurate or logically consistent
• Potential biases from training data

Intended Use

1. Educational Assistance: Helping students with general knowledge questions and basic programming concepts.
2. Creative Writing Aid: Assisting in generating ideas or outlines for creative writing projects.
3. Conversational AI: Powering chatbots for simple, everyday conversations.
4. Code Completion: Providing suggestions for basic Python programming tasks.
5. General Knowledge Queries: Answering straightforward questions on various topics.

Model Variants

We offer three quantized versions of the SmolLM-1.7B-Instruct model:

1. Q5_KM: 5-bit quantization using the KM method
2. Q4_KM: 4-bit quantization using the KM method
3. IQ4_XS: 4-bit quantization using the IQ4_XS method

These quantized models aim to reduce model size and improve inference speed while maintaining performance as close to the original model as possible.

Usage

pip install llama-cpp-python 

Please refer to the llama-cpp-python documentation to install with GPU support.

Basic Text Completion

Here's an example demonstrating how to use the high-level API for basic text completion:

from llama_cpp import Llama

llm = Llama(
    model_path="./models/SmolLM-1.7B-Instruct.Q5_K_M.gguf",
    verbose=False,
    # n_gpu_layers=-1, # Uncomment to use GPU acceleration
    # n_ctx=2048, # Uncomment to increase the context window
)

output = llm.create_chat_completion(
    messages = [
        {"role": "system", "content": "You're an AI assistant who help the user to answer his questions"},
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "What is the capital of France."
        }
    ]
)

print(output["choices"][0]['message']['content'])

Download

You can download Llama models in gguf format directly from Hugging Face using the from_pretrained method. This feature requires the huggingface-hub package.

To install it, run: pip install huggingface-hub

from llama_cpp import Llama

llm = Llama.from_pretrained(
    repo_id="SandLogicTechnologies/SmolLM-1.7B-Instruct-GGUF",
    filename="*SmolLM-1.7B-Instruct.Q5_K_M.gguf",
    verbose=False
)

By default, from_pretrained will download the model to the Hugging Face cache directory. You can manage installed model files using the huggingface-cli tool.
