Hi @neon mantle. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can offer some guidance on finding and configuring a chat template for the nomic-ai-gpt4all-falcon-gguf model.

It appears that you've encountered a situation where the model doesn't have a built-in chat template. This is common for models that are not from the official GPT4All model list or don't include a chat template by default.

Here are some steps you can take:

  1. First, it's important to note that for sideloaded models or when using allow_download=False, you must specify a chat template manually GPT4All Python SDK Reference (https://docs.gpt4all.io/gpt4all_python/ref.html#gpt4all.gpt4all.GPT4All.chat_session).

  2. Since the tokenizer_config.json result is "null", you'll need to create a custom chat template. The GPT4All documentation provides guidance on how to do this GPT4All Documentation (https://docs.gpt4all.io/gpt4all_desktop/chat_templates.html#advanced-how-do-i-make-a-chat-template).

  3. To create a chat template, start by using an existing one as a reference and modify it to fit the format documented for your specific model. Check the README page of the model for any explicit examples or mentions of well-known standard templates like ChatML, Alpaca, or Vicuna.

  4. If you're unsure about the correct format, you can ask for help in the GPT4All Discord community (https://discord.gg/mGZE39AS3e).

  5. Here's a basic example of a chat template that you could try (modify as needed for your specific model):

{% for message in messages %}
{% if message['role'] == 'user' %}
User: {{ message['content'] }}
{% elif message['role'] == 'assistant' %}
Assistant: {{ message['content'] }}
{% elif message['role'] == 'system' %}
System: {{ message['content'] }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% if add_generation_prompt %}
Assistant:
{% endif %}
#

Remember, the exact format may vary depending on what works best with your specific model.

If you continue to have issues, you may want to consult the model's documentation or reach out to the model creator for specific guidance on the appropriate chat template format.
