Excuse me, some question for you..

1. What is the different between your falcontune and QLoRA?
2. What is the different fine tuning (with the new dataset) in Bitsandbytes+peft and your code? Or maybe your script is the simple form of bitsandbytes+peft?
3. Can I activate 'nf4' (normal four bit float) in the GPTQ?

Excuse me, some question for you..

I join in the questions!

Doesn't 40b require like 48Gb of VRAM? also if anyone reads this I would be very appreciative for any insight into cost efficient/realistic hardware for ML, it seems like the cheapest build is somewhere in the neighborhood of $5-6k, and I think I would rather have my own hardware than rely on Amazon/Google/Azure, Thanks

Falcon 40b inference in 8bit takes 45gb of ram. On single RTX A6000 48GB (not ADA version) on AMD EPIC 7713 DDR4 pc take around 4 second to generate 20 tokens (words), in 4bit -it takes 25gb ram and 12 second for same 20 tokens - not sure why..

...
bnb_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
load_in_8bit=True,
bnb_4bit_use_double_quant=False,
bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4",
bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
)

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
PATH,
device_map="auto"
trust_remote_code=True,
quantization_config=bnb_config,
)

can anyone help me please
i have the text data stored in .txt the text data is simple information about a technology
i want to fine tune the falcon model and the i want to ask the question to the falcon model according to that .txt file

I would also love to know why it takes so long.

My main reason, (and I suspect many people's) main use case for GPT alternatives include both open source AND hopefully faster speed. Reducing the memory profile but increasing the lag seems like a lateral move.
