Qwen3-14B-NVFP4

Model Overview

Model Architecture: Qwen/Qwen3-14B
- Input: Text
- Output: Text
Model Optimizations:
- Weight quantization: FP4
- Activation quantization: FP4
Out-of-scope: Use in any manner that violates applicable laws or regulations (including trade compliance laws). Use in languages other than English.
Release Date: 10/29/2025
Version: 1.0

This model is a quantized version of Qwen/Qwen3-14B. It was evaluated on a several tasks to assess the its quality in comparison to the unquatized model.

Model Optimizations

This model was obtained by quantizing the weights and activations of Qwen/Qwen3-14B to FP4 data type, ready for inference with vLLM>=0.9.1 This optimization reduces the number of bits per parameter from 16 to 4, reducing the disk size and GPU memory requirements by approximately 75%.

Only the weights and activations of the linear operators within transformers blocks are quantized using LLM Compressor.

Deployment

Use with vLLM

This model can be deployed efficiently using the vLLM backend, as shown in the example below.

python

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

model_id = "Saktsant/Qwen3-14B-NVFP4"
number_gpus = 1

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)

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.

This model was created by applying LLM Compressor with calibration samples from UltraChat, as presented in the code snipet below.
