Welcome to the ultimate guide on utilizing the Roleplay Quantization in EXL2 format for Lumimaid 0.2 70B! In this article, we’ll walk through how to effectively use this advanced model, providing you with an overview and troubleshooting tips to ensure a successful experience.

Understanding the Model

Lumimaid 0.2 70B is based on the Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct and has undergone extensive data cleaning and testing. It’s like the artisan craftsman who refines a piece of art, trimming away the excess and enhancing its core features. Each quantization level is akin to different brushes used by the artist, allowing for varying details and fidelity in output based on the context lengths required.

Getting Started

Before you jump into using the quants, here’s what you’ll need:

• A machine equipped with compatible NVIDIA RTX GPUs (like the RTX 3090).
• Access to a clean, headless Linux instance to maximize VRAM use.
• The necessary software packages installed (e.g., TabbyAPI with Q4 cache enabled).

Quantized Models Overview

The following quantized models are available for use:

• 2.0bpw8h quants – Tested on one RTX 3090 at 32k context length.
• 2.2bpw8h quants
• 3.7bpw8h quants – Working on dual RTX 3090s at 128k context length.
• 3.8bpw8h quants
• 4.0bpw8h quants – Working at 98k context length.
• 4.4bpw8h quants – Working at 64k context length.
• 6.0bpw8h quants
• 7.0bpw8h quants
• 8.0bpw8h quants

Testing the Models

All tests on these models were conducted in a headless Linux environment. Make sure there’s no active desktop environment, as this can hinder performance by consuming VRAM.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter issues when using the Lumimaid model or its quantizations, consider the following:

• Ensure that your GPU drivers are up-to-date and compatible with the required software.
• Check that you have adequate VRAM available for the quantization level you’re trying to run.
• Verify the installation of TabbyAPI and ensure that Q4 cache is correctly enabled.
• If you’re still having issues, reach out for additional quantized options. Feel free to ask!
