It achieves an average score of 73.49 on the [OpenLLM](https://huggingface.co/spaces/open-llm-leaderboard/open_llm_leaderboard) benchmark (version 1), whereas the unquantized model achieves 73.23. ### Model Optimizations This model was obtained by quantizing the weights and activations of [gemma-2-9b-it](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-9b-it) to FP8 data type, ready for inference with vLLM >= 0.5.1. 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-tensor quantization is applied, in which a single linear scaling maps the FP8 representations of the quantized weights and activations. [AutoFP8](https://github.com/neuralmagic/AutoFP8) is used for quantization with a single instance of every token in random order. ## 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/gemma-2-9b-it-FP8" sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.6, top_p=0.9, max_tokens=256) tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id) messages = [ {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you? Please respond in pirate speak!"}, ] prompts = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True) llm = LLM(model=model_id) outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params) generated_text = outputs[0].outputs[0].text print(generated_text) ``` vLLM also supports OpenAI-compatible serving. See the [documentation](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/) for more details. ## Creation This model was created by applying [AutoFP8 with calibration samples from ultrachat](https://github.com/neuralmagic/AutoFP8/blob/147fa4d9e1a90ef8a93f96fc7d9c33056ddc017a/example_dataset.py), as presented in the code snipet below. Although AutoFP8 was used for this particular model, Neural Magic is transitioning to using [llm-compressor](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor) which supports several quantization schemes and models not supported by AutoFP8. ```python from datasets import load_dataset from transformers import AutoTokenizer import numpy as np import torch from auto_fp8 import AutoFP8ForCausalLM, BaseQuantizeConfig MODEL_DIR = "google/gemma-2-9b-it" final_model_dir = MODEL_DIR.split("/")[-1] CONTEXT_LENGTH = 4096 NUM_SAMPLES = 512 NUM_REPEATS = 1 pretrained_model_dir = MODEL_DIR tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(pretrained_model_dir, use_fast=True, model_max_length=CONTEXT_LENGTH) tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_token tokenizer_num_tokens = len(list(tokenizer.get_vocab().values())) total_token_samples = NUM_REPEATS * tokenizer_num_tokens num_random_samp = -(-total_token_samples // CONTEXT_LENGTH) input_ids = np.tile(np.arange(tokenizer_num_tokens), NUM_REPEATS + 1)[:num_random_samp * CONTEXT_LENGTH] np.random.shuffle(input_ids) input_ids = input_ids.reshape(num_random_samp, CONTEXT_LENGTH) input_ids = torch.tensor(input_ids, dtype=torch.int64).to("cuda") quantize_config = BaseQuantizeConfig( quant_method="fp8", activation_scheme="static", ) examples = input_ids model = AutoFP8ForCausalLM.from_pretrained(pretrained_model_dir, quantize_config=quantize_config) model.quantize(examples) quantized_model_dir = f"{final_model_dir}-FP8" model.save_quantized(quantized_model_dir) ``` ## Evaluation The model was evaluated on the [OpenLLM](https://huggingface.co/spaces/open-llm-leaderboard/open_llm_leaderboard) leaderboard tasks (version 1) with the [lm-evaluation-harness](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness/tree/383bbd54bc621086e05aa1b030d8d4d5635b25e6) (commit 383bbd54bc621086e05aa1b030d8d4d5635b25e6) and the [vLLM](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/stable/) engine, using the following command: ``` lm_eval \ --model vllm \ --model_args pretrained="neuralmagic/gemma-2-9b-it-FP8",dtype=auto,gpu_memory_utilization=0.4,add_bos_token=True,max_model_len=4096 \ --tasks openllm \ --batch_size auto ``` ### Accuracy #### Open LLM Leaderboard evaluation scores
