## Model Overview
- **Model Architecture:** granite-3.1-8b-instruct
  - **Input:** Text
  - **Output:** Text
- **Model Optimizations:**
  - **Weight quantization:** INT4
  - **Activation quantization:** INT4
- **Release Date:** 1/8/2025
- **Version:** 1.0
- **Model Developers:** Neural Magic

Quantized version of [ibm-granite/granite-3.1-8b-instruct](https://huggingface.co/ibm-granite/granite-3.1-8b-instruct).
It achieves an average score of 69.81 on the [OpenLLM](https://huggingface.co/spaces/open-llm-leaderboard/open_llm_leaderboard) benchmark (version 1), whereas the unquantized model achieves 70.30.

### Model Optimizations

This model was obtained by quantizing the weights of [ibm-granite/granite-3.1-8b-instruct](https://huggingface.co/ibm-granite/granite-3.1-8b-instruct) to INT4 data type, ready for inference with vLLM >= 0.5.2.
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. 

## Deployment

### Use with vLLM

This model can be deployed efficiently using the [vLLM](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/) backend, as shown in the example below.

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

max_model_len, tp_size = 4096, 1
model_name = "neuralmagic/granite-3.1-8b-instruct-quantized.w4a16"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
llm = LLM(model=model_name, tensor_parallel_size=tp_size, max_model_len=max_model_len, trust_remote_code=True)
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.3, max_tokens=256, stop_token_ids=[tokenizer.eos_token_id])

messages_list = [
    [{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you? Please respond in pirate speak!"}],
]

prompt_token_ids = [tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True) for messages in messages_list]

outputs = llm.generate(prompt_token_ids=prompt_token_ids, sampling_params=sampling_params)

generated_text = [output.outputs[0].text for output in outputs]
print(generated_text)
```

vLLM also supports OpenAI-compatible serving. See the [documentation](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/) for more details.

## Inference Performance


This model achieves up to 2.7x speedup in single-stream deployment and up to 1.5x speedup in multi-stream asynchronous deployment, depending on hardware and use-case scenario.
The following performance benchmarks were conducted with [vLLM](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/) version 0.6.6.post1, and [GuideLLM](https://github.com/neuralmagic/guidellm).
