Quantized version of Qwen2-7B-Instruct. It achieves an average score of 69.09 on the OpenLLM benchmark (version 1), whereas the unquantized model achieves 69.64.

Model Optimizations

This model was obtained by quantizing the weights of Qwen2-7B-Instruct 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 of 8,192 random tokens.

Deployment

Use with vLLM

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/Qwen2-7B-Instruct-quantized.w8a8"
number_gpus = 1

sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.7, top_p=0.8, 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)

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.

Use with transformers

The following example contemplates how the model can be deployed in Transformers using the generate() function.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model_id = "neuralmagic/Qwen2-7B-Instruct-quantized.w8a8"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto",
)

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a pirate chatbot who always responds in pirate speak!"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]

input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    return_tensors="pt"
).to(model.device)

terminators = [
    tokenizer.eos_token_id,
    tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_ids("<|eot_id|>")
]

outputs = model.generate(
    input_ids,
    max_new_tokens=256,
    eos_token_id=terminators,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.7,
    top_p=0.8,
)
response = outputs[0][input_ids.shape[-1]:]
print(tokenizer.decode(response, skip_special_tokens=True))

Creation

This model was created by using the llm-compressor library as presented in the code snipet below.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from datasets import Dataset
from llmcompressor.transformers import SparseAutoModelForCausalLM, oneshot
from llmcompressor.modifiers.quantization import GPTQModifier
import random

model_id = "Qwen/Qwen2-7B-Instruct"

num_samples = 256
max_seq_len = 8192

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

max_token_id = len(tokenizer.get_vocab()) - 1
input_ids = [[random.randint(0, max_token_id) for _ in range(max_seq_len)] for _ in range(num_samples)]
attention_mask = num_samples * [max_seq_len * [1]]
ds = Dataset.from_dict({"input_ids": input_ids, "attention_mask": attention_mask})

recipe = GPTQModifier(
  targets="Linear",
  scheme="W8A8",
  ignore=["lm_head"],
  dampening_frac=0.01,
)

model = SparseAutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
  model_id,
  device_map="auto",
  trust_remote_code=True,
)

oneshot(
  model=model,
  dataset=ds,
  recipe=recipe,
  max_seq_length=max_seq_len,
  num_calibration_samples=num_samples,
)

model.save_pretrained("Qwen2-7B-Instruct-quantized.w8a18)

Evaluation

The model was evaluated on the OpenLLM leaderboard tasks (version 1) with the lm-evaluation-harness (commit 383bbd54bc621086e05aa1b030d8d4d5635b25e6) and the vLLM engine, using the following command:

lm_eval \
  --model vllm \
  --model_args pretrained="neuralmagic/Qwen2-7B-Instruct-quantized.w8a8",dtype=auto,gpu_memory_utilization=0.4,add_bos_token=True,max_model_len=4096,tensor_parallel_size=1 \
