Model Optimizations

This model was obtained by quantizing activations and weights of Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct-1M to FP8 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, whereas activations are quantized with a symmetric dynamic per-token scheme. The llm-compressor library is used for quantization.

Deployment

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 = "duydq12/Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct-1M-FP8-dynamic"
number_gpus = 1
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.6, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0, max_tokens=256)

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Give me a short introduction to large language model."}]

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.

Creation

Creation details

This model was created with [llm-compressor](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor) by running the code snippet below.

python

from llmcompressor.modifiers.quantization import QuantizationModifier
from llmcompressor.transformers import oneshot
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

# Load model
model_stub = "Qwen/Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct-1M"
model_name = model_stub.split("/")[-1]

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

# Configure the quantization algorithm and scheme
recipe = QuantizationModifier(
  ignore=["lm_head"],
  targets="Linear",
  scheme="FP8_dynamic",
)

# Apply quantization
oneshot(
  model=model,
  recipe=recipe,
)

# Save to disk in compressed-tensors format
save_path = model_name + "-FP8-dynamic"
model.save_pretrained(save_path)
tokenizer.save_pretrained(save_path)
print(f"Model and tokenizer saved to: {save_path}")
