# AQLM
Additive Quantization of Language Models ([AQLM](https://huggingface.co/papers/2401.06118)) quantizes multiple weights together and takes advantage of interdependencies between them. AQLM represents groups of 8-16 weights as a sum of multiple vector codes.
AQLM also supports fine-tuning with [LoRA](https://huggingface.co/docs/peft/package_reference/lora) with the [PEFT](https://huggingface.co/docs/peft) library, and is fully compatible with [torch.compile](https://pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/torch_compile_tutorial.html) for even faster inference and training.
Run the command below to install the AQLM library with kernel support for both GPU and CPU inference and training. AQLM only works with Python 3.10+.
```bash
pip install aqlm[gpu,cpu]
```
Load an AQLM-quantized model with [`~PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained`].
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
quantized_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
"ISTA-DASLab/Mixtral-8x7b-AQLM-2Bit-1x16-hf",
dtype="auto",
device_map="auto"
)
```
## Configurations
AQLM quantization setups vary mainly in the number of codebooks used, as well as codebook sizes in bits. The most popular setups and supported inference kernels are shown below.
| Kernel | Number of codebooks | Codebook size, bits | Notation | Accuracy | Speedup | Fast GPU inference | Fast CPU inference |
|---|---------------------|---------------------|----------|-------------|-------------|--------------------|--------------------|
| Triton | K | N | KxN | - | Up to ~0.7x | ✅ | ❌ |
| CUDA | 1 | 16 | 1x16 | Best | Up to ~1.3x | ✅ | ❌ |
| CUDA | 2 | 8 | 2x8 | OK | Up to ~3.0x | ✅ | ❌ |
| Numba | K | 8 | Kx8 | Good | Up to ~4.0x | ❌ | ✅ |
