AWQ is an efficient, accurate and blazing-fast low-bit weight quantization method, currently supporting 4-bit quantization. Compared to GPTQ, it offers faster Transformers-based inference.
It is also now supported by continuous batching server vLLM, allowing use of AWQ models for high-throughput concurrent inference in multi-user server scenarios. Note that, at the time of writing, overall throughput is still lower than running vLLM with unquantised models, however using AWQ enables using much smaller GPUs which can lead to easier deployment and overall cost savings. For example, a 70B model can be run on 1 x 48GB GPU instead of 2 x 80GB.
For my first release of AWQ models, I am releasing 128g models only. I will consider adding 32g as well if there is interest, and once I have done perplexity and evaluation comparisons, but at this time 32g models are still not fully tested with AutoAWQ and vLLM.
When using vLLM from Python code, pass the quantization=awq parameter, for example:
python
1from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
23prompts =[4"Hello, my name is",5"The president of the United States is",6"The capital of France is",7"The future of AI is",8]9sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)1011llm = LLM(model="TheBloke/tulu-30B-AWQ", quantization="awq")1213outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)1415# Print the outputs.16for output in outputs:17 prompt = output.prompt
18 generated_text = output.outputs[0].text
19print(f"Prompt: {prompt!r}, Generated text: {generated_text!r}")
I've had a lot of people ask if they can contribute. I enjoy providing models and helping people, and would love to be able to spend even more time doing it, as well as expanding into new projects like fine tuning/training.
If you're able and willing to contribute it will be most gratefully received and will help me to keep providing more models, and to start work on new AI projects.
Donaters will get priority support on any and all AI/LLM/model questions and requests, access to a private Discord room, plus other benefits.

Original model card: Allen AI's Tulu 30B
Tulu 30B
This model is a 30B LLaMa model finetuned on a mixture of instruction datasets (FLAN V2, CoT, Dolly, Open Assistant 1, GPT4-Alpaca, Code-Alpaca, and ShareGPT).
Please note this is a model diff - see below for usage instructions.
Clone https://github.com/allenai/open-instruct and install the required dependencies, or just copy scripts/weight_diff.py
and install the minimal requirements listed in weight-diff-requirements.txt. Then download or clone this model diff to the same machine.
If you use this model, please cite our work, the llama paper, and the original datasets:
