User Guides

Deep dives into advanced usage of llmcompressor:

Quick Tour

Let's quantize TinyLlama with 8 bit weights and activations using the GPTQ and SmoothQuant algorithms.

Note that the model can be swapped for a local or remote HF-compatible checkpoint and the recipe may be changed to target different quantization algorithms or formats.

Apply Quantization

Quantization is applied by selecting an algorithm and calling the oneshot API.

from llmcompressor.modifiers.quantization import GPTQModifier
from llmcompressor.modifiers.smoothquant import SmoothQuantModifier
from llmcompressor.transformers import oneshot

# Select quantization algorithm. In this case, we:
#   * apply SmoothQuant to make the activations easier to quantize
#   * quantize the weights to int8 with GPTQ (static per channel)
#   * quantize the activations to int8 (dynamic per token)
recipe = [
    SmoothQuantModifier(smoothing_strength=0.8),
    GPTQModifier(scheme="W8A8", targets="Linear", ignore=["lm_head"]),
]

# Apply quantization using the built in open_platypus dataset.
#   * See examples for demos showing how to pass a custom calibration set
oneshot(
    model="TinyLlama/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0",
    dataset="open_platypus",
    recipe=recipe,
    output_dir="TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0-INT8",
    max_seq_length=2048,
    num_calibration_samples=512,
)

Inference with vLLM

The checkpoints created by llmcompressor can be loaded and run in vllm:

Install:

pip install vllm

Run:

from vllm import LLM
model = LLM("TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0-INT8")
output = model.generate("My name is")
