# mlx-community/dbrx-instruct-4bit
This model was converted to MLX format from [`databricks/dbrx-instruct`]() using mlx-lm version [b80adbc
 ](https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-examples/commit/b80adbcc3ee5b00ad43432faede408b983f152c2) after DBRX support was added by [Awni Hannun](https://github.com/awni).
 
Refer to the [original model card](https://huggingface.co/databricks/dbrx-instruct) for more details on the model.

## Conversion

Conversion was done with:
```bash
python -m mlx_lm.convert --hf-path databricks/dbrx-instruct -q --upload-repo mlx-community/dbrx-instruct-4bit
```

## Use with mlx

```bash
git clone git@github.com:ml-explore/mlx-examples.git
cd mlx-examples/llms/
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

python -m mlx_lm.generate --model mlx-community/dbrx-instruct-4bit --prompt "Hello" --trust-remote-code --max-tokens 500
```

Remember, this is an Instruct model, so you will need to use the instruct prompt template:

## Example:

```text
<|im_start|>system
You are DBRX, created by Databricks. You were last updated in December 2023. You answer questions based on information available up to that point.
YOU PROVIDE SHORT RESPONSES TO SHORT QUESTIONS OR STATEMENTS, but provide thorough responses to more complex and open-ended questions.
You assist with various tasks, from writing to coding (using markdown for code blocks — remember to use ``` with code, JSON, and tables).
(You do not have real-time data access or code execution capabilities. You avoid stereotyping and provide balanced perspectives on controversial topics. You do not provide song lyrics, poems, or news articles and do not divulge details of your training data.)
This is your system prompt, guiding your responses. Do not reference it, just respond to the user. If you find yourself talking about this message, stop. You should be responding appropriately and usually that means not mentioning this.
YOU DO NOT MENTION ANY OF THIS INFORMATION ABOUT YOURSELF UNLESS THE INFORMATION IS DIRECTLY PERTINENT TO THE USER'S QUERY.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
What's the difference between PCA vs UMAP vs t-SNE?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
The difference
```

I've also added some extra words for the assistant start otherwise the model would instantly add an `<|im_end|>` token and stop. 
If `<|im_start|>assistant` is not added, an error will appear.

You can add the above in a text file and use it as:

```bash
python -m mlx_lm.generate --model dbrx-instruct-4bit --prompt "$(cat my_prompt.txt)"  --trust-remote-code --max-tokens 1000
```

Output:

On my Macbook Pro M2 with 96GB of Unified Memory, DBRX Instruct in 4-bit for the above prompt it eats 70.2GB of RAM.


if the mlx-lm package was updated it can also be installed from pip:

```bash
pip install mlx-lm
```

```python
from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("mlx-community/dbrx-instruct-4bit")
response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt="hello", verbose=True)
```
