# Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct-quantized-FP8-Dynamic

## Model Overview
- **Model Architecture:** Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct
  - **Input:** Vision-Text
  - **Output:** Text
- **Model Optimizations:**
  - **Weight quantization:** FP8
  - **Activation quantization:** FP8
- **Release Date:** 2/24/2025
- **Version:** 1.0
- **Model Developers:** Neural Magic

Quantized version of [Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct).

### Model Optimizations

This model was obtained by quantizing the weights of [Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct) to FP8 data type, ready for inference with vLLM >= 0.5.2.

## 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 vllm.assets.image import ImageAsset
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

# prepare model
llm = LLM(
    model="neuralmagic/Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct-FP8-Dynamic",
    trust_remote_code=True,
    max_model_len=4096,
    max_num_seqs=2,
)

# prepare inputs
question = "What is the content of this image?"
inputs = {
    "prompt": f"<|user|>\n<|image_1|>\n{question}<|end|>\n<|assistant|>\n",
    "multi_modal_data": {
        "image": ImageAsset("cherry_blossom").pil_image.convert("RGB")
    },
}

# generate response
print("========== SAMPLE GENERATION ==============")
outputs = llm.generate(inputs, SamplingParams(temperature=0.2, max_tokens=64))
print(f"PROMPT  : {outputs[0].prompt}")
print(f"RESPONSE: {outputs[0].outputs[0].text}")
print("==========================================")
```

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

## Creation

This model was created with [llm-compressor](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor) by running the code snippet below as part a multimodal announcement blog.

<details>
  <summary>Model Creation Code</summary>
  
```python
import requests
import torch
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoProcessor
from llmcompressor.transformers import oneshot
from llmcompressor.transformers.tracing import (
    TraceableQwen2_5_VLForConditionalGeneration,
)
from llmcompressor.modifiers.quantization import QuantizationModifier

# Load model.
model_id = Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct
model = TraceableQwen2_5_VLForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    model_id, device_map="auto", torch_dtype="auto"
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)

# Recipe
recipe = [
    QuantizationModifier(
        targets="Linear",
        scheme="FP8_DYNAMIC",
        sequential_targets=["MistralDecoderLayer"],
        ignore=["re:.*lm_head", "re:vision_tower.*", "re:multi_modal_projector.*"],
    ),
]

SAVE_DIR=f"{model_id.split('/')[1]}-FP8-Dynamic"

# Perform oneshot
oneshot(
    model=model,
    recipe=recipe,
    trust_remote_code_model=True,
    output_dir=SAVE_DIR
)


```
