What is zephyr-7B-alpha-GGUF?
Zephyr-7B-alpha is an advanced language model that builds upon the Mistral-7B architecture, fine-tuned using Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) on carefully curated datasets. This GGUF version, quantized by TheBloke, offers various compression levels for efficient deployment while maintaining model quality.
Implementation Details
The model is available in multiple quantization formats ranging from 2-bit to 8-bit precision, allowing users to balance between model size and performance. The recommended Q4_K_M variant offers a good compromise at 4.37GB file size.
- Training utilized UltraChat and UltraFeedback datasets
- Implements specialized chat templating system
- Supports context window of up to 2048 tokens
- Compatible with popular frameworks like llama.cpp
Core Capabilities
- Advanced chat functionality with system prompts
- Strong performance on MT Bench evaluations
- Efficient CPU and GPU inference options
