# Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct-quantized.w4a16

## Model Overview
- **Model Architecture:** Meta-Llama-3
  - **Input:** Text
  - **Output:** Text
- **Model Optimizations:**
  - **Weight quantization:** INT4
- **Intended Use Cases:** Intended for commercial and research use in English. Similarly to [Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct), this models is intended for assistant-like chat.
- **Out-of-scope:** Use in any manner that violates applicable laws or regulations (including trade compliance laws). Use in languages other than English.
- **Release Date:** 7/26/2024
- **Version:** 1.0
- **License(s):** Llama3.1
- **Model Developers:** Neural Magic

This model is a quantized version of [Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-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.
Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct-quantized.w4a16 achieves 100.0% recovery for the Arena-Hard evaluation, 99.4% for OpenLLM v1 (using Meta's prompting when available), 97.4% for OpenLLM v2, 101.0% for HumanEval pass@1, and 99.2% for HumanEval+ pass@1.

### Model Optimizations

This model was obtained by quantizing the weights of [Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct) to INT4 data type.
This optimization reduces the number of bits per parameter from 16 to 4, reducing the disk size and GPU memory requirements by approximately 75%.

Only the weights 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 INT4 and floating point representations of the quantized weights.
The [GPTQ](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.17323) algorithm is applied for quantization, as implemented in the [AutoGPTQ](https://github.com/AutoGPTQ/AutoGPTQ) library. GPTQ used a 1% damping factor and 512 sequences of 8,192 random tokens.


## 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 = "neuralmagic/Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct-quantized.w4a16"
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](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/) for more details.


## Creation

This model was created by applying the [AutoGPTQ](https://github.com/AutoGPTQ/AutoGPTQ) library as presented in the code snipet below.
Although AutoGPTQ was used for this particular model, Neural Magic is transitioning to using [llm-compressor](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor) which supports several quantization schemes and models not supported by AutoGPTQ.


```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from datasets import Dataset
from llmcompressor.transformers import SparseAutoModelForCausalLM, oneshot
from llmcompressor.modifiers.quantization import GPTQModifier
import random

model_id = "meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct"

num_samples = 512
max_seq_len = 8192

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

preprocess_fn = lambda example: {"text": "Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.\n\n{text}".format_map(example)}

dataset_name = "neuralmagic/LLM_compression_calibration"
dataset = load_dataset(dataset_name, split="train")
ds = dataset.shuffle().select(range(num_samples))
ds = ds.map(preprocess_fn)

recipe = GPTQModifier(
  targets="Linear",
  scheme="W4A16",
  ignore=["lm_head"],
  dampening_frac=0.01,
)

model = SparseAutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
  model_id,
  device_map="auto",
  trust_remote_code=True,
)

oneshot(
  model=model,
  dataset=ds,
  recipe=recipe,
  max_seq_length=max_seq_len,
  num_calibration_samples=num_samples,
)
model.save_pretrained("Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct-quantized.w4a16")
```

## Evaluation

This model was evaluated on the well-known Arena-Hard, OpenLLM v1, OpenLLM v2, HumanEval, and HumanEval+ benchmarks.
In all cases, model outputs were generated with the [vLLM](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/stable/) engine.

Arena-Hard evaluations were conducted using the [Arena-Hard-Auto](https://github.com/lmarena/arena-hard-auto) repository.
The model generated a single answer for each prompt form Arena-Hard, and each answer was judged twice by GPT-4.
We report below the scores obtained in each judgement and the average.

OpenLLM v1 and v2 evaluations were conducted using Neural Magic's fork of [lm-evaluation-harness](https://github.com/neuralmagic/lm-evaluation-harness/tree/llama_3.1_instruct) (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](https://huggingface.co/datasets/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct-evals) and a few fixes to OpenLLM v2 tasks.

HumanEval and HumanEval+ evaluations were conducted using Neural Magic's fork of the [EvalPlus](https://github.com/neuralmagic/evalplus) repository.

Detailed model outputs are available as HuggingFace datasets for [Arena-Hard](https://huggingface.co/datasets/neuralmagic/quantized-llama-3.1-arena-hard-evals), [OpenLLM v2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/neuralmagic/quantized-llama-3.1-leaderboard-v2-evals), and [HumanEval](https://huggingface.co/datasets/neuralmagic/quantized-llama-3.1-humaneval-evals).

**Note:** Results have been updated after Meta modified the chat template.
