Quantized version of Meta-Llama-3.1-8B. It achieves an average score of 62.71 on the OpenLLM benchmark (version 1), whereas the unquantized model achieves 63.03.
Model Optimizations
This model was obtained by quantizing the weights of Meta-Llama-3.1-8B to INT8 data type. This optimization reduces the number of bits used to represent weights and activations from 16 to 8, reducing GPU memory requirements (by approximately 50%) and increasing matrix-multiply compute throughput (by approximately 2x). Weight quantization also reduces disk size requirements by approximately 50%.
Only weights and activations of the linear operators within transformers blocks are quantized. Weights are quantized with a symmetric static per-channel scheme, where a fixed linear scaling factor is applied between INT8 and floating point representations for each output channel dimension. Activations are quantized with a symmetric dynamic per-token scheme, computing a linear scaling factor at runtime for each token between INT8 and floating point representations. The GPTQ algorithm is applied for quantization, as implemented in the llm-compressor library. GPTQ used a 1% damping factor and 256 sequences sequences taken from Neural Magic's LLM compression calibration dataset.
Deployment
This model can be deployed efficiently using the vLLM backend, as shown in the example below.
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
model_id = "neuralmagic/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-quantized.w8a8"
number_gpus = 1
max_model_len = 8192
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.6, top_p=0.9, max_tokens=256)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a pirate chatbot who always responds in pirate speak!"},
{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
prompts = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=False)
llm = LLM(model=model_id, tensor_parallel_size=number_gpus, max_model_len=max_model_len)
outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)
generated_text = outputs[0].outputs[0].text
print(generated_text)
vLLM aslo supports OpenAI-compatible serving. See the documentation for more details.
