GPTQ-for-LLaMA

4 bits quantization of LLaMA using GPTQ

GPTQ is SOTA one-shot weight quantization method

Supports the fastest speed, but uses both triton and cuda. Triton only supports Linux, so if you are a Windows user, please use WSL2.

News or Update

AutoGPTQ-triton, a packaged version of GPTQ with triton, has been integrated into AutoGPTQ.

Quantization requires a large amount of CPU memory. However, the memory required can be reduced by using swap memory.

Depending on the GPUs/drivers, there may be a difference in performance, which decreases as the model size increases.(IST-DASLab/gptq#1)

According to GPTQ paper, As the size of the model increases, the difference in performance between FP16 and GPTQ decreases.

Installation

If you don't have conda, install it first.

conda create --name gptq python=3.9 -y
conda activate gptq
conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=11.7 -c pytorch -c nvidia
# Or, if you're having trouble with conda, use pip with python3.9:
# pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio

git clone https://github.com/qwopqwop200/GPTQ-for-LLaMa
cd GPTQ-for-LLaMa
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup_cuda.py install

Dependencies

torch: tested on v2.0.0+cu117
transformers: tested on v4.28.0.dev0
datasets: tested on v2.10.1
safetensors: tested on v0.3.0

All experiments were run on a single NVIDIA RTX3090.

Language Generation

LLaMA

#convert LLaMA to hf
python convert_llama_weights_to_hf.py --input_dir /path/to/downloaded/llama/weights --model_size 7B --output_dir ./llama-hf

# Benchmark language generation with 4-bit LLaMA-7B:

# Save compressed model
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python llama.py ${MODEL_DIR} c4 --wbits 4 --true-sequential --act-order --groupsize 128 --save llama7b-4bit-128g.pt

# Or save compressed `.safetensors` model
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python llama.py ${MODEL_DIR} c4 --wbits 4 --true-sequential --act-order --groupsize 128 --save_safetensors llama7b-4bit-128g.safetensors

# Benchmark generating a 2048 token sequence with the saved model
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python llama.py ${MODEL_DIR} c4 --wbits 4 --groupsize 128 --act-order --load llama7b-4bit-128g.pt --benchmark 2048 --check

# Benchmark FP16 baseline, note that the model will be split across all listed GPUs
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3,4 python llama.py ${MODEL_DIR} c4 --benchmark 2048 --check

Basically, 4-bit quantization and 128 groupsize are recommended.

You can also export quantization parameters with toml+numpy format.

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python llama.py ${MODEL_DIR} c4 --wbits 4 --true-sequential --act-order --groupsize 128 --quant-directory ${TOML_DIR}
