### INT4 Weight-only Quantization and Deployment (W4A16)

LMDeploy adopts [AWQ](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.00978) algorithm for 4bit weight-only quantization. By developed the high-performance cuda kernel, the 4bit quantized model inference achieves up to 2.4x faster than FP16.

LMDeploy supports the following NVIDIA GPU for W4A16 inference:

- Turing(sm75): 20 series, T4

- Ampere(sm80,sm86): 30 series, A10, A16, A30, A100

- Ada Lovelace(sm90): 40 series

Before proceeding with the quantization and inference, please ensure that lmdeploy is installed.

```shell
pip install lmdeploy>=0.5.3
```

### Inference

Trying the following codes, you can perform the batched offline inference with the quantized model:

```python
from lmdeploy import pipeline, TurbomindEngineConfig
from lmdeploy.vl import load_image

model = 'OpenGVLab/InternVL2-8B-AWQ'
image = load_image('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-mmlab/mmdeploy/main/tests/data/tiger.jpeg')
backend_config = TurbomindEngineConfig(model_format='awq')
pipe = pipeline(model, backend_config=backend_config, log_level='INFO')
response = pipe(('describe this image', image))
print(response.text)
```

For more information about the pipeline parameters, please refer to [here](https://github.com/InternLM/lmdeploy/blob/main/docs/en/inference/pipeline.md).

### Service

LMDeploy's `api_server` enables models to be easily packed into services with a single command. The provided RESTful APIs are compatible with OpenAI's interfaces. Below are an example of service startup:

```shell
lmdeploy serve api_server OpenGVLab/InternVL2-8B-AWQ --backend turbomind --server-port 23333 --model-format awq
```

To use the OpenAI-style interface, you need to install OpenAI:

```shell
pip install openai
```

Then, use the code below to make the API call:

```python
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY', base_url='http://0.0.0.0:23333/v1')
model_name = client.models.list().data[0].id
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model=model_name,
    messages=[{
        'role':
        'user',
        'content': [{
            'type': 'text',
            'text': 'describe this image',
        }, {
            'type': 'image_url',
            'image_url': {
                'url':
                'https://modelscope.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/resource/tiger.jpeg',
            },
        }],
    }],
    temperature=0.8,
    top_p=0.8)
print(response)
```
