GLM-130B VS geov

The https://github.com/THUDM/GLM-130B model is trained on The Pile and can run on 4x3090 when quantized to INT4. I'm wondering if anyone knows if this model could (or has) been quantized using GPTQ, which gives some impressive performance gains over traditional quantization, and I'm also wondering if anyone has tried a 3-bit or 2-bit quantization of such a massive model (using GPTQ). Are there any inherent limitations in this? Is there anything about this model that prevents it from being run on text-generation-webui?

> GLM-130B, a model comparable with GPT-3, has 130 billion parameters in FP16 precision, a total of 260G of GPU memory is required to store model weights. The DGX-A100 server has 8 A100s and provides an amount of 320G of GPU memory (640G for 80G A100 version) so it suits GLM-130B well.

GLM-130B[1] (a 130 billion parameter model vs GPT-3's 175 billion parameter model) is able to run optimally on consumer level high-end hardware, 4xRTX 3090 in particular. That's < $4k at current prices, and as hardware prices go one can only imagine what it'll be in a year or two. It also enables running with degraded performance on lesser systems.

It's a whole lot cheaper to run neural net style systems than to train them. "Somebody on Twitter"[2] got it setup, and broke down the costs, demonstrated some prompts, and what not. Cliff notes being a fraction of a penny per query, with each taking about 16s to generate. The output's pretty terrible, but it's unclear to me whether that's inherent or a result of priority. I expect OpenAI spent a lot of manpower on supervised training, whereas this system probably had minimal, especially in English (it's from a Chinese university).

GLM-130B in 4 bit mode is better than GPT3 and can run on 4 RTX-3090s. Still expensive but it’s getting closer. https://github.com/THUDM/GLM-130B

https://github.com/THUDM/GLM-130B might be a useful place to look

Looks like my edit window closed, but my results ended up being very low so there must be something wrong (I've reached out to StabilityAI just in case). It does however seem to roughly match another user's 3B testing: https://twitter.com/abacaj/status/1648881680835387392

The current scores I have place it between gpt2_774M_q8 and pythia_deduped_410M (yikes!). Based on training and specs you'd expect it to outperform Pythia 6.9B at least... this is running on a HEAD checkout of https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness (releases don't support hf-casual) for those looking to replicate/debug.

Note, another LLM currently being trained, GeoV 9B, already far outperforms this model at just 80B tokens trained: https://github.com/geov-ai/geov/blob/master/results.080B.md
