Quantization Details

This model was quantized using:

Tool: llmcompressor
Method: FP8_DYNAMIC (Round-to-Nearest)
Targets: All Linear layers except lm_head
Scheme: W8A8 (8-bit weights and activations)

Performance

Memory Usage

Original BF16: ~2× size of FP8
FP8 Quantized: ~50% of original
Savings: ~50% VRAM reduction

Inference Speed

Expect 1.3-1.8× faster inference vs BF16
2× higher throughput (more KV cache available)

Use Cases

Perfect for:

✅ Production inference on limited VRAM
✅ Running larger models on single GPU
✅ Cost-effective API serving
✅ High-throughput applications
✅ Extended context lengths (more KV cache)

Hardware Requirements

Minimum VRAM (approximate):

70B model: ~40 GB (RTX A6000, A100 40GB)
123B model: ~70 GB (A100 80GB, H100, H200)

Recommended:

H100/H200 for best performance
vLLM for optimized serving
Enable FP8 KV cache for extended context

Important Notes

⚠️ Quantization Trade-offs:

Slight quality degradation (typically <1-2%)
Not suitable for fine-tuning (inference only)
Best with vLLM (has FP8 kernel optimizations)

✅ Best Practices:

Use --kv-cache-dtype fp8 for longer contexts
Set --gpu-memory-utilization 0.90-0.95
Add --enforce-eager if you encounter compilation issues
