## This model is quantized from [Meta-Llama/Llama-3.2-1B](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B).

# Quantized Llama 3.2-1B

This repository contains a quantized version of the Llama 3.2-1B model, optimized for reduced memory footprint and faster inference.

## Quantization Details

The model has been quantized using GPTQ (Generative Pretrained Transformer Quantization) with the following parameters:

- **Quantization method:** GPTQ
- **Number of bits:** 4
- **Dataset used for calibration:** c4

## Usage

To use the quantized model, you can load it using the `load_quantized_model` function from the `optimum.gptq` library:
Make sure to replace `save_folder` with the path to the directory where the quantized model is saved.

## Requirements

- Python 3.8 or higher
- PyTorch 2.0 or higher
- Transformers
- Optimum
- Accelerate
- Bitsandbytes
- Auto-GPTQ

You can install these dependencies using pip.
## Disclaimer

This quantized model is provided for research and experimentation purposes. While quantization can significantly reduce model size and improve inference speed, it may also result in a slight decrease in accuracy compared to the original model.
