Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-AWQ-INT4 EU AI Act Compliance Profile

[!IMPORTANT] This repository is a community-driven quantized version of the original model meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct which is the BF16 half-precision official version released by Meta AI.

Model Information

The Meta Llama 3.1 collection of multilingual large language models (LLMs) is a collection of pretrained and instruction tuned generative models in 8B, 70B and 405B sizes (text in/text out). The Llama 3.1 instruction tuned text only models (8B, 70B, 405B) are optimized for multilingual dialogue use cases and outperform many of the available open source and closed chat models on common industry benchmarks.

This repository contains meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct quantized using AutoAWQ from FP16 down to INT4 using the GEMM kernels performing zero-point quantization with a group size of 128.

Model Usage

[!NOTE] In order to run the inference with Llama 3.1 8B Instruct AWQ in INT4, around 4 GiB of VRAM are needed only for loading the model checkpoint, without including the KV cache or the CUDA graphs, meaning that there should be a bit over that VRAM available.

In order to use the current quantized model, support is offered for different solutions as transformers, autoawq, or text-generation-inference.

🤗 Transformers

In order to run the inference with Llama 3.1 8B Instruct AWQ in INT4, you need to install the following packages:

pip install -q --upgrade transformers autoawq accelerate

To run the inference on top of Llama 3.1 8B Instruct AWQ in INT4 precision, the AWQ model can be instantiated as any other causal language modeling model via AutoModelForCausalLM and run the inference normally.

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, AwqConfig
