# INT4 Weight-only Quantization and Deployment (W4A16) |
|
|
|
LMDeploy adopts [AWQ](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.00978) algorithm for 4bit weight-only quantization. By developed the high-performance cuda kernel, the 4bit quantized model inference achieves up to 2.4x faster than FP16. |
|
|
|
LMDeploy supports the following NVIDIA GPU for W4A16 inference: |
|
|
|
- Turing(sm75): 20 series, T4 |
|
|
|
- Ampere(sm80,sm86): 30 series, A10, A16, A30, A100 |
|
|
|
- Ada Lovelace(sm90): 40 series |
|
|
|
Before proceeding with the quantization and inference, please ensure that lmdeploy is installed. |
|
|
|
```shell |
|
pip install lmdeploy[all] |
|
``` |
|
|

## Inference |
|
|
|
Trying the following codes, you can perform the batched offline inference with the quantized model: |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from lmdeploy import pipeline, TurbomindEngineConfig |
|
engine_config = TurbomindEngineConfig(model_format='awq') |
|
pipe = pipeline("internlm/internlm2_5-7b-chat-4bit", backend_config=engine_config) |
|
response = pipe(["Hi, pls intro yourself", "Shanghai is"]) |
|
print(response) |
|
``` |
|
|
|
For more information about the pipeline parameters, please refer to [here](https://github.com/InternLM/lmdeploy/blob/main/docs/en/inference/pipeline.md). |
|
|
|
## Evaluation |
|
|
|
Please overview [this guide](https://opencompass.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced_guides/evaluation_turbomind.html) about model evaluation with LMDeploy. |
|
|
|
## Service |
|
|
|
LMDeploy's `api_server` enables models to be easily packed into services with a single command. The provided RESTful APIs are compatible with OpenAI's interfaces. Below are an example of service startup: |
|
|
|
```shell |
|
lmdeploy serve api_server internlm/internlm2_5-7b-chat-4bit --backend turbomind --model-format awq |
|
``` |
|
|
|
The default port of `api_server` is `23333`. After the server is launched, you can communicate with server on terminal through `api_client`: |
|
|
|
```shell |
|
lmdeploy serve api_client http://0.0.0.0:23333 |
|
``` |
|
|
|
You can overview and try out `api_server` APIs online by swagger UI at `http://0.0.0.0:23333`, or you can also read the API specification from [here](https://github.com/InternLM/lmdeploy/blob/main/docs/en/serving/restful_api.md). |
