Salamandra-2b-fp8 Model Card
This model is the fp8-quantized version of Salamandra-2b.
The model weights are quantized from FP16 to FP8 (8-bit weights) using the FP8 quantization algorithm from NeuralMagic. Inferencing with this model can be done using VLLM.
Salamandra is a highly multilingual model pre-trained from scratch that comes in three different sizes — 2B, 7B and 40B parameters — with their respective base and instruction-tuned variants, promoted and financed by the Government of Catalonia through the Aina Project and the Ministerio para la Transformación Digital y de la Función Pública - Funded by EU – NextGenerationEU within the framework of ILENIA Project with reference 2022/TL22/00215337.
This model card corresponds to the fp8-quantized version of Salamandra-2b.
The entire Salamandra family is released under a permissive Apache 2.0 license.
