Quantized version of Llama-3.3-70B-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. Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-quantized.w8a8 achieves 99.4% recovery for OpenLLM v1 (using Meta's prompting when available) and 100% for both HumanEval and HumanEval+ pass@1.

Model Optimizations

This model was obtained by quantizing the weights and activations of Llama-3.3-70B-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.

Deployment

This model can be deployed efficiently using the vLLM backend, as shown in the example below.

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

model_id = "neuralmagic-ent/Llama-3.3-70B-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 for more details.

Creation

This model was created by using the llm-compressor library as presented in the code snipet below.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
from datasets import Dataset
from llmcompressor.transformers import oneshot
from llmcompressor.modifiers.quantization import GPTQModifier
import random

model_id = "meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct"

num_samples = 1024
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("Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-quantized.w8a8")

Evaluation

This model was evaluated on the well-known OpenLLM v1, OpenLLM v2, HumanEval, and HumanEval+ benchmarks. In all cases, model outputs were generated with the vLLM engine.

OpenLLM v1 and v2 evaluations were conducted using Neural Magic's fork of lm-evaluation-harness (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 and a few fixes to OpenLLM v2 tasks.

HumanEval and HumanEval+ evaluations were conducted using Neural Magic's fork of the EvalPlus repository.
