LMDeploy adopts AWQ algorithm for 4bit weight-only quantization. By developed the high-performance cuda kernel, the 4bit quantized model inference achieves up to 2.4x faster than FP16.

LMDeploy supports the following NVIDIA GPU for W4A16 inference:

Turing(sm75): 20 series, T4
Ampere(sm80,sm86): 30 series, A10, A16, A30, A100
Ada Lovelace(sm90): 40 series

Before proceeding with the quantization and inference, please ensure that lmdeploy is installed.

pip install lmdeploy

Inference

Trying the following codes, you can perform the batched offline inference with the quantized model:

python

from lmdeploy import pipeline, TurbomindEngineConfig
from lmdeploy.vl import load_image

model = 'OpenGVLab/InternVL2-8B-AWQ'
image = load_image('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-mmlab/mmdeploy/main/tests/data/tiger.jpeg')
backend_config = TurbomindEngineConfig(model_format='awq')
pipe = pipeline(model, backend_config=backend_config, log_level='INFO')
response = pipe(('describe this image', image))
print(response.text)

For more information about the pipeline parameters, please refer to here.

Service

LMDeploy's api_server enables models to be easily packed into services with a single command. The provided RESTful APIs are compatible with OpenAI's interfaces. Below are an example of service startup:

lmdeploy serve api_server OpenGVLab/InternVL2-8B-AWQ --backend turbomind --server-port 23333 --model-format awq

To use the OpenAI-style interface, you need to install OpenAI:

pip install openai

Then, use the code below to make the API call:

python

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY', base_url='http://0.0.0.0:23333/v1')
model_name = client.models.list().data[0].id
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model=model_name,
    messages=[{
        'role':
        'user',
        'content': [{
            'type': 'text',
            'text': 'describe this image',
        }, {
            'type': 'image_url',
            'image_url': {
                'url':
                'https://modelscope.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/resource/tiger.jpeg',
            },
        }],
    }],
    temperature=0.8,
    top_p=0.8)
print(response)
