### About AWQ
AWQ is an efficient, accurate and blazing-fast low-bit weight quantization method, currently supporting 4-bit quantization. Compared to GPTQ, it offers faster Transformers-based inference with equivalent or better quality compared to the most commonly used GPTQ settings.
AWQ models are currently supported on Linux and Windows, with NVidia GPUs only. macOS users: please use GGUF models instead.
It is supported by:
- [Text Generation Webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui) - using Loader: AutoAWQ
- [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) - version 0.2.2 or later for support for all model types.
- [Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference)
- [Transformers](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers) version 4.35.0 and later, from any code or client that supports Transformers
- [AutoAWQ](https://github.com/casper-hansen/AutoAWQ) - for use from Python code

## Provided files, and AWQ parameters
I currently release 128g GEMM models only. The addition of group_size 32 models, and GEMV kernel models, is being actively considered.
Thanks to the [chirper.ai](https://chirper.ai) team!
Thanks to Clay from [gpus.llm-utils.org](llm-utils)!
I've had a lot of people ask if they can contribute. I enjoy providing models and helping people, and would love to be able to spend even more time doing it, as well as expanding into new projects like fine tuning/training.
If you're able and willing to contribute it will be most gratefully received and will help me to keep providing more models, and to start work on new AI projects.
Donaters will get priority support on any and all AI/LLM/model questions and requests, access to a private Discord room, plus other benefits.

# Original model card: Sanji Watsuki's Neural Chat 7B V3.3 WizardMath DARE ME
This model is an experiment involving mixing DARE TIE merger with a task arithmetic merger to attempt to merge models with less loss.
DARE TIE mergers are [very strong at transferring strengths](https://medium.com/@minh.hoque/paper-explained-language-models-are-super-mario-2ebce6c2cf35) while merging a minimal part of the model. For larger models, 90-99% of delta parameters from SFT models can be dropped while retaining most of the benefits if they are rescaled and consensus merged back into the model.
For 7B models, we can't drop as many of the parameters and retain the model's strengths. In the original paper, the WizardMath model showed transferrable skills when 90% of the parameters were dropped but showed more strength when 70% were dropped. Experimentally, it appears that [even lower drop rates like 40%](https://github.com/cg123/mergekit/issues/26) have performed the best even for larger 34B models. In some instances, [even densities as high as 80% create an unstable merger](https://huggingface.co/jan-hq/supermario-v1), making DARE TIES unsuitable for merging models.
This is an experiment utilizing two merger techniques together to try and transfer skills between finetuned models. If we were to DARE TIE a low density merger onto the base Mistral model and then task arithmetic merge those low density delta weights onto a finetune, could we still achieve skill transfer?
