Similarly to [Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-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). - **Release Date:** 7/11/2024 - **Version:** 1.0 - **License(s):** Llama3.1 - **Model Developers:** Neural Magic This model is a quantized version of [Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct). It was evaluated on a several tasks to assess the its quality in comparison to the unquatized model, including multiple-choice, math reasoning, and open-ended text generation. Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-quantized.w8a8 achieves 105.4% recovery for the Arena-Hard evaluation, 100.3% for OpenLLM v1 (using Meta's prompting when available), 101.5% for OpenLLM v2, 99.7% for HumanEval pass@1, and 98.8% for HumanEval+ pass@1. ### Model Optimizations This model was obtained by quantizing the weights of [Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct) to INT8 data type. This optimization reduces the number of bits used to represent weights and activations from 16 to 8, reducing GPU memory requirements (by approximately 50%) and increasing matrix-multiply compute throughput (by approximately 2x). Weight quantization also reduces disk size requirements by approximately 50%. Only weights and activations of the linear operators within transformers blocks are quantized. Weights are quantized with a symmetric static per-channel scheme, where a fixed linear scaling factor is applied between INT8 and floating point representations for each output channel dimension. Activations are quantized with a symmetric dynamic per-token scheme, computing a linear scaling factor at runtime for each token between INT8 and floating point representations. The [GPTQ](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.17323) algorithm is applied for quantization, as implemented in the [llm-compressor](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor) library. GPTQ used a 1% damping factor and 256 sequences of 8,192 random tokens. ## Deployment 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/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-quantized.w8a8" number_gpus = 1 max_model_len = 8192 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, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=False) llm = LLM(model=model_id, tensor_parallel_size=number_gpus, max_model_len=max_model_len) 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 using the [llm-compressor](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor) library as presented in the code snipet below. ```python from transformers import AutoTokenizer from datasets import Dataset from llmcompressor.transformers import SparseAutoModelForCausalLM, oneshot from llmcompressor.modifiers.quantization import GPTQModifier import random model_id = "meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct" num_samples = 256 max_seq_len = 8192 tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id) max_token_id = len(tokenizer.get_vocab()) - 1 input_ids = [[random.randint(0, max_token_id) for _ in range(max_seq_len)] for _ in range(num_samples)] attention_mask = num_samples * [max_seq_len * [1]] ds = Dataset.from_dict({"input_ids": input_ids, "attention_mask": attention_mask}) recipe = GPTQModifier( targets="Linear", scheme="W8A8", ignore=["lm_head"], dampening_frac=0.01, ) model = SparseAutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained( model_id, device_map="auto", ) oneshot( model=model, dataset=ds, recipe=recipe, max_seq_length=max_seq_len, num_calibration_samples=num_samples, ) model.save_pretrained("Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-quantized.w8a8") ``` ## Evaluation This model was evaluated on the well-known Arena-Hard, OpenLLM v1, OpenLLM v2, HumanEval, and HumanEval+ benchmarks. In all cases, model outputs were generated with the [vLLM](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/stable/) engine. Arena-Hard evaluations were conducted using the [Arena-Hard-Auto](https://github.com/lmarena/arena-hard-auto) repository. The model generated a single answer for each prompt form Arena-Hard, and each answer was judged twice by GPT-4. We report below the scores obtained in each judgement and the average. OpenLLM v1 and v2 evaluations were conducted using Neural Magic's fork of [lm-evaluation-harness](https://github.com/neuralmagic/lm-evaluation-harness/tree/llama_3.1_instruct) (branch llama_3.1_instruct). This version of the lm-evaluation-harness includes versions of MMLU, ARC-Challenge and GSM-8K 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) and a few fixes to OpenLLM v2 tasks. HumanEval and HumanEval+ evaluations were conducted using Neural Magic's fork of the [EvalPlus](https://github.com/neuralmagic/evalplus) repository. Detailed model outputs are available as HuggingFace datasets for [Arena-Hard](https://huggingface.co/datasets/neuralmagic/quantized-llama-3.1-arena-hard-evals), [OpenLLM v2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/neuralmagic/quantized-llama-3.1-leaderboard-v2-evals), and [HumanEval](https://huggingface.co/datasets/neuralmagic/quantized-llama-3.1-humaneval-evals). **Note:** Results have been updated after Meta modified the chat template. ### Accuracy
