### Model Optimizations

This model was obtained by quantizing activations and weights of [Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct) to FP8 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, whereas activations are quantized with a symmetric dynamic per-token scheme.
The [llm-compressor](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor) library is used for quantization.

## 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 = "RedHatAI/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-FP8-dynamic"
number_gpus = 1
max_model_len = 8192

sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.7, top_p=0.8, max_tokens=256)

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Give me a short introduction to large language model."},
]

prompts = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, 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

<details>
  <summary>Creation details</summary>
  This model was created with [llm-compressor](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor) by running the code snippet below. 


  ```python
  from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
  from llmcompressor.modifiers.quantization import QuantizationModifier
  from llmcompressor.transformers import oneshot
  
  # Load model
  model_stub = "Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-FP8-dynamic"
  model_name = model_stub.split("/")[-1]
  
  tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_stub)
  
  model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
      model_stub,
      device_map="auto",
      torch_dtype="auto",
  )
  
  # Configure the quantization algorithm and scheme
  recipe = QuantizationModifier(
      targets="Linear",
      scheme="FP8_dynamic",
      ignore=["lm_head"],
  )
  
  # Apply quantization
  oneshot(
      model=model,
      recipe=recipe,
  )
  
  # Save to disk in compressed-tensors format
  save_path = model_name + "-FP8-dynamic"
  model.save_pretrained(save_path)
  tokenizer.save_pretrained(save_path)
  print(f"Model and tokenizer saved to: {save_path}")
  ```

## 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/387Bbd54bc621086e05aa1b030d8d4d5635b25e6) (commit 387Bbd54bc621086e05aa1b030d8d4d5635b25e6) and the [vLLM](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/stable/) engine, using the following command:
```
lm_eval \
  --model vllm \
  --model_args pretrained="neuralmagic/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-FP8-dynamic",dtype=auto,gpu_memory_utilization=0.5,max_model_len=4096,enable_chunk_prefill=True,tensor_parallel_size=1 \
  --apply_chat_template \
  --fewshot_as_multiturn \
  --tasks openllm \
  --batch_size auto
```
