This is a 4-bit quantized version of mistralai/Mistral-Small-24B-Instruct-2501 model, quantized by ConfidentialMind.com 🤖✨
It leverages the open-source GPTQModel quantization to achieve 4-bit precision with a group size of 128 resulting in a smaller, faster model with minimal performance degradation.

Ran on a single NVIDIA A100 GPU with 80GB of VRAM.

Note batch_size is set quite high as the model is small, you may need to adjust this to your GPU VRAM. Note2 Due to the "packed" nature of mistral-small weights, MSE was used agressively along with a higher damping factor - this resulted in lesser loss and perplexity, however G32 is more advised

Usage

python

from gptqmodel import GPTQModel
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

# Use the local directory or JustJaro/Mistral-Small-24B-Instruct-2501_gptq_g128_4bit after upload
quantized_model_id = "/home/jaro/models/quantized/Mistral-Small-24B-Instruct-2501_gptq_g128_4bit"  # or "JustJaro/Mistral-Small-24B-Instruct-2501_gptq_g128_4bit"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(quantized_model_id)
model = GPTQModel.load(quantized_model_id, device="cuda:0")  # or "cpu"

input_text = "This is a test prompt"
inputs = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda:0")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Package Versions and Installation Instructions

See pyproject.toml for the exact UV project file.

See gptqmodel repo for more details on installation instructions (a global install is needed first).

  typer==0.15.1 \
  huggingface_hub==<version> \
  datasets==3.3.0 \
  transformers==4.48.3 \

Quantization Script

Below is the exact quantize.py script used to generate this model (with the exact versions of the dependencies):

It also generates a README.md like this - feel free to use replacing readme_content = f"""{MakeYourown}"" and using the variables passed to the function.

python

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
This script loads a source Hugging Face model and a calibration dataset,
quantizes the model using GPTQModel (with 4-bit precision and group size 128),
saves the quantized model using the Transformers API with safetensors (safe serialization)
under ~/models/quantized/, and then creates/updates a Hugging Face repository (with the
_gptq_g128_4bit suffix) by uploading the model, tokenizer, and an auto-generated README.md.

Usage example:
    python quantize.py --source-model TinyLlama/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0 \
                       --calibration-dataset wikitext/wikitext-2-raw-v1 \
                       --seq-len 1024 --nsamples 256 --hf-token <YOUR_HF_TOKEN>
