Model inputs and outputs

The dolphin-2.6-mixtral-8x7b-GGUF model accepts text inputs in a ChatML format, with the prompt structured as a conversation between the user and the assistant. The model can generate coherent, contextual responses to a wide range of prompts, from open-ended questions to specific task requests.

Inputs

  • Prompt: A text prompt in ChatML format, with the user's input enclosed in <|im_start|>user\n{prompt}<|im_end|> tags.
  • System message: An optional system message that can be used to set the context or instructions for the model, enclosed in <|im_start|>system\n{system_message}<|im_end|> tags.

Outputs

  • Generated text: The model's response to the input prompt, which can be of varying length depending on the task.

Things to try

One interesting aspect of the dolphin-2.6-mixtral-8x7b-GGUF model is its ability to handle extended sequence lengths, thanks to the RoPE scaling parameters built into the GGUF format. This allows you to generate longer, more coherent responses for tasks like story writing or other creative applications. You can experiment with increasing the sequence length (using the -c parameter in llama.cpp) to see how the model's performance and output changes.

Another useful feature is the model's support for GPU offloading, which can significantly improve performance and reduce memory usage. You can adjust the number of layers offloaded to the GPU using the -ngl parameter in llama.cpp to find the optimal balance between speed and resource usage for your specific hardware and application.
