Quantized version of Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct. It achieves an average score of 50.88 on a subset of task from the OpenLLM benchmark (version 1), whereas the unquantized model achieves 51.70.

Model Optimizations

This model was obtained by quantizing the weights and activations of Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct to FP8 data type, ready for inference with vLLM built from source. 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-channel quantization is applied, in which a linear scaling per output dimension maps the FP8 representations of the quantized weights and activations. Activations are also quantized on a per-token dynamic basis. LLM Compressor is used for quantization.

Deployment

Use with vLLM

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/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-FP8-dynamic"

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, tokenize=False)

llm = LLM(model=model_id)

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.

This model was created by applying LLM Compressor, as presented in the code snipet below.

Evaluation

The model was evaluated on MMLU, ARC-Challenge, GSM-8K, and Winogrande. Evaluation was conducted using the Neural Magic fork of lm-evaluation-harness (branch llama_3.1_instruct) and the vLLM engine. This version of the lm-evaluation-harness includes versions of ARC-Challenge, GSM-8K, MMLU, and MMLU-cot that match the prompting style of Meta-Llama-3.1-Instruct-evals.
