Llama-v3-8B-Chat: Optimized for Mobile Deployment

State-of-the-art large language model useful on a variety of language understanding and generation tasks

Llama 3 is a family of LLMs. The "Chat" at the end indicates that the model is optimized for chatbot-like dialogue. The model is quantized to w4a16(4-bit weights and 16-bit activations) and part of the model is quantized to w8a16(8-bit weights and 16-bit activations) making it suitable for on-device deployment. For Prompt and output length specified below, the time to first token is Llama-PromptProcessor-Quantized's latency and average time per addition token is Llama-TokenGenerator-KVCache-Quantized's latency.

This model is an implementation of Llama-v3-8B-Chat found here. This repository provides scripts to run Llama-v3-8B-Chat on Qualcomm® devices. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found here.

Deploying Llama 3 on-device

Large Language Model (LLM) such as Llama 2 has the following complexities to deploy on-device:

  1. Model size is too large to fit in device memory for inference
  2. Multi-Head Attention (MHA) has large activations leading to fallback from accelerators
  3. High model load and inference time

We can tackle the above constraints with the following steps:

  1. Quantize weights to reduce on-disk model size, e.g., int8 or int4 weights
  2. Quantize activations to reduce inference time memory pressure
  3. Graph transformations to reduce inference time memory pressure, e.g., Multi-Head to Split-Head Attention (MHA -> SHA)
  4. Graph transformations to convert or decompose operations into more accelerator friendly operations e.g. Linear to Conv
  5. For LLM with 7B or more parameters, above steps are still not good enough on mobile, hence we go one step further and split model into sub-parts.

Here, we divide the model into 4 parts in order to

  1. Make model exportable with low memory usage
  2. Avoid inference time out-of-memory errors

In order to export Llama 3, please ensure

  1. Host machine has >40GB memory (RAM+swap-space)
  2. If you don't have enough memory, export.py will dump instructions to increase swap space accordingly

Demo off target

The package contains a simple end-to-end demo that downloads pre-trained weights and runs this model on a sample input.

python -m qai_hub_models.models.llama_v3_8b_chat_quantized.demo

The above demo runs a reference implementation of pre-processing, model inference, and post processing.

NOTE: If you want running in a Jupyter Notebook or Google Colab like environment, please add the following to your cell (instead of the above).

%run -m qai_hub_models.models.llama_v3_8b_chat_quantized.demo

Run model on a cloud-hosted device

In addition to the demo, you can also run the model on a cloud-hosted Qualcomm® device. This script does the following:

  • Performance check on-device on a cloud-hosted device
  • Downloads compiled assets that can be deployed on-device for Android.
  • Accuracy check between PyTorch and on-device outputs.
python -m qai_hub_models.models.llama_v3_8b_chat_quantized.export
