# Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct-FP8-dynamic

## Model Overview
- **Model Architecture:** Meta-Llama-3.2
  - **Input:** Text
  - **Output:** Text
- **Model Optimizations:**
  - **Weight quantization:** FP8
  - **Activation quantization:** FP8
- **Intended Use Cases:** Intended for commercial and research use in multiple languages. Similarly to [Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct), this models is intended for assistant-like chat.
- **Out-of-scope:** Use in any manner that violates applicable laws or regulations (including trade compliance laws). Use in languages other than English.
- **Release Date:** 9/25/2024
- **Version:** 1.0
- **License(s):** [llama3.2](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B/blob/main/LICENSE)
- **Model Developers:** Neural Magic

Quantized version of [Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct).
It achieves an average score of 50.88 on a subset of task from the [OpenLLM](https://huggingface.co/spaces/open-llm-leaderboard/open_llm_leaderboard) benchmark (version 1), whereas the unquantized model achieves 51.70.

### Model Optimizations

This model was obtained by quantizing the weights and activations of [Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct) to FP8 data type, ready for inference with vLLM built from source.
This optimization reduces the number of bits per parameter from 16 to 8, reducing the disk size and GPU memory requirements by approximately 50%.

Only the weights and activations of the linear operators within transformers blocks are quantized. Symmetric per-channel quantization is applied, in which a linear scaling per output dimension maps the FP8 representations of the quantized weights and activations. Activations are also quantized on a per-token dynamic basis.
[LLM Compressor](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor) is used for quantization.

## Deployment

### Use with vLLM

This model can be deployed efficiently using the [vLLM](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/) backend, as shown in the example below.

```python
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

model_id = "neuralmagic/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct-FP8-dynamic"

sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.6, top_p=0.9, max_tokens=256)

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a pirate chatbot who always responds in pirate speak!"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]

prompts = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False)

llm = LLM(model=model_id)

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](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/) for more details.

## Creation

This model was created by applying [LLM Compressor](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor/blob/sa/big_model_support/examples/big_model_offloading/big_model_w8a8_calibrate.py), as presented in the code snipet below.

## Evaluation

The model was evaluated on MMLU, ARC-Challenge, GSM-8K, and Winogrande.
Evaluation was conducted using the Neural Magic fork of [lm-evaluation-harness](https://github.com/neuralmagic/lm-evaluation-harness/tree/llama_3.1_instruct) (branch llama_3.1_instruct) and the [vLLM](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/stable/) engine.
This version of the lm-evaluation-harness includes versions of ARC-Challenge, GSM-8K, MMLU, and MMLU-cot that match the prompting style of [Meta-Llama-3.1-Instruct-evals](https://huggingface.co/datasets/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-evals).
