# LLM Compressor
[LLM Compressor](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/llm-compressor/en/latest/) is a library for optimizing models for deployment with vLLM.
It provides a comprehensive set of quantization algorithms, including support for techniques such as FP4, FP8, INT8, and INT4 quantization.
## Why use LLM Compressor?
Modern LLMs often contain billions of parameters stored in 16-bit or 32-bit floating point, requiring substantial GPU memory and limiting deployment options.
Quantization lowers memory requirements while maintaining inference output quality by reducing the precision of model weights and activations to smaller data types.
LLM Compressor provides the following benefits:
- **Reduced memory footprint**: Run larger models on smaller GPUs.
- **Lower inference costs**: Serve more concurrent users per GPU, directly reducing the cost per query in production deployments.
- **Faster inference**: Smaller data types mean less memory bandwidth consumed, which often translates to higher throughput, especially for memory-bound workloads.
LLM Compressor handles the complexity of quantization, calibration, and format conversion, producing models ready for immediate use with vLLM.
## Key features
- **Multiple Quantization Algorithms**: Support for AWQ, GPTQ, AutoRound, and Round-to-Nearest.
Also includes support for QuIP and SpinQuant-style transforms as well as KV cache and attention quantization.
- **Multiple Quantization Methods**: Support for FP8, INT8, INT4, NVFP4, MXFP4, and mixed-precision quantization
- **One-Shot Quantization**: Quantize models quickly with minimal calibration data
- **vLLM Integration**: Seamlessly deploy quantized models with vLLM using the compressed-tensors format
- **Hugging Face Compatibility**: Works with models from the Hugging Face Hub

# FP8 W8A8
vLLM supports FP8 (8-bit floating point) weight and activation quantization using hardware acceleration on GPUs such as Nvidia H100 and AMD MI300x.
Currently, only Hopper and Ada Lovelace GPUs are officially supported for W8A8.
Turing/Ampere GPUs are supported for W8A16 (weight-only FP8) utilizing Marlin kernels.
Quantization of models with FP8 allows for a 2x reduction in model memory requirements and up to a 1.6x improvement in throughput with minimal impact on accuracy.
Please visit the HF collection of [quantized FP8 checkpoints of popular LLMs ready to use with vLLM](https://huggingface.co/collections/neuralmagic/fp8-llms-for-vllm-666742ed2b78b7ac8df13127).
The FP8 types typically supported in hardware have two distinct representations, each useful in different scenarios:
- **E4M3**: Consists of 1 sign bit, 4 exponent bits, and 3 bits of mantissa. It can store values up to +/-448 and `nan`.
- **E5M2**: Consists of 1 sign bit, 5 exponent bits, and 2 bits of mantissa. It can store values up to +/-57344, +/- `inf`, and `nan`. The tradeoff for the increased dynamic range is lower precision of the stored values.
!!! note
FP8 computation is supported on NVIDIA GPUs with compute capability >= 8.9 (Ada Lovelace, Hopper).
FP8 models will run on compute capability >= 7.5 (Turing) as weight-only W8A16, utilizing FP8 Marlin.
## Installation
To produce performant FP8 quantized models with vLLM, you'll need to install the [llm-compressor](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor/) library:
```bash
(venv-llm-compressor) pip install llmcompressor
```
Additionally, install `vllm` and `lm-evaluation-harness` for evaluation:
```bash
(venv-vllm) pip install vllm "lm-eval[api]>=0.4.12"
```
Please use separate environments for vLLM and llm-compressor as they might not work together.
## Quantization Process
The quantization process involves three main steps:
1. Loading the model
2. Applying quantization
3. Evaluating accuracy in vLLM
### 1. Loading the Model
Load your model and tokenizer using the standard `transformers` AutoModel classes:
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
MODEL_ID = "meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
MODEL_ID,
device_map="auto",
dtype="auto",
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)
```
### 2. Applying Quantization
For FP8 quantization, we can recover accuracy with simple RTN quantization. We recommend targeting all `Linear` layers using the `FP8_DYNAMIC` scheme, which uses:
- Static, per-channel quantization on the weights
- Dynamic, per-token quantization on the activations
Since simple RTN does not require data for weight quantization and the activations are quantized dynamically, we do not need any calibration data for this quantization flow.
```python
from llmcompressor import oneshot
from llmcompressor.modifiers.quantization import QuantizationModifier
# Configure the simple PTQ quantization
recipe = QuantizationModifier(
targets="Linear",
scheme="FP8_DYNAMIC",
ignore=["lm_head"],
)
# Apply the quantization algorithm.
oneshot(model=model, recipe=recipe)
# Save the model: Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-FP8-Dynamic
SAVE_DIR = MODEL_ID.split("/")[1] + "-FP8-Dynamic"
model.save_pretrained(SAVE_DIR)
tokenizer.save_pretrained(SAVE_DIR)
```
### 3. Evaluating Accuracy
Load and run the model in `vllm`:
```python
from vllm import LLM
llm = LLM("./Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-FP8-Dynamic")
result = llm.generate("Hello my name is")
print(result[0].outputs[0].text)
```
Evaluate accuracy with `lm_eval` (for example on 250 samples of `gsm8k`):
!!! note
Quantized models can be sensitive to the presence of the `bos` token. `lm_eval` does not add a `bos` token by default, so make sure to include the `add_bos_token=True` argument when running your evaluations.
```bash
MODEL=$PWD/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-FP8-Dynamic
lm_eval \
--model vllm \
--model_args pretrained=$MODEL,add_bos_token=True \
--tasks gsm8k --num_fewshot 5 --batch_size auto --limit 250
```
Here's an example of the resulting scores:
```text
|Tasks|Version| Filter |n-shot| Metric | |Value| |Stderr|
| --- |------:| -------------- |-----:| --------- | - |----:| - |-----:|
|gsm8k| 3|flexible-extract| 5|exact_match|↑ |0.768|± |0.0268|
| | |strict-match | 5|exact_match|↑ |0.768|± |0.0268|
```
## Troubleshooting and Support
If you encounter any issues or have feature requests, please open an issue on the [vllm-project/llm-compressor](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor/issues) GitHub repository.
## Online Dynamic Quantization
Dynamic quantization of an original precision BF16/FP16 model to FP8 can be achieved with vLLM without any calibration data required. You can enable the feature by specifying `--quantization="fp8"` in the command line or setting `quantization="fp8"` in the LLM constructor.
In this mode, all Linear modules (except for the final `lm_head`) have their weights quantized down to FP8_E4M3 precision with a per-tensor scale. Activations have their minimum and maximum values calculated during each forward pass to provide a dynamic per-tensor scale for high accuracy. As a result, latency improvements are limited in this mode.
```python
from vllm import LLM
llm = LLM("facebook/opt-125m", quantization="fp8")
# INFO 06-10 17:55:42 model_runner.py:157] Loading model weights took 0.1550 GB
result = llm.generate("Hello, my name is")
print(result[0].outputs[0].text)

# INT4 W4A16
vLLM supports quantizing weights to INT4 for memory savings and inference acceleration. This quantization method is particularly useful for reducing model size and maintaining low latency in workloads with low queries per second (QPS).
Please visit the HF collection of [quantized INT4 checkpoints of popular LLMs ready to use with vLLM](https://huggingface.co/collections/neuralmagic/int4-llms-for-vllm-668ec34bf3c9fa45f857df2c).
!!! note
INT4 computation is supported on NVIDIA GPUs with compute capability > 8.0 (Ampere, Ada Lovelace, Hopper, Blackwell).
## Prerequisites
To use INT4 quantization with vLLM, you'll need to install the [llm-compressor](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor/) library:
```bash
(venv-llm-compressor) pip install llmcompressor
```
Additionally, install `vllm` and `lm-evaluation-harness` for evaluation:
```bash
(venv-vllm) pip install vllm "lm-eval[api]>=0.4.12"
```
Please use separate environments for vLLM and llm-compressor as they might not work together.
## Quantization Process
The quantization process involves four main steps:
1. Loading the model
2. Preparing calibration data
3. Applying quantization
4. Evaluating accuracy in vLLM
### 1. Loading the Model
Load your model and tokenizer using the standard `transformers` AutoModel classes:
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
MODEL_ID = "meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
MODEL_ID,
device_map="auto",
dtype="auto",
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)
```
### 2. Preparing Calibration Data
When quantizing weights to INT4, you need sample data to estimate the weight updates and calibrated scales.
It's best to use calibration data that closely matches your deployment data.
For a general-purpose instruction-tuned model, you can use a dataset like `ultrachat`:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
NUM_CALIBRATION_SAMPLES = 512
MAX_SEQUENCE_LENGTH = 2048
# Load and preprocess the dataset
ds = load_dataset("HuggingFaceH4/ultrachat_200k", split="train_sft")
ds = ds.shuffle(seed=42).select(range(NUM_CALIBRATION_SAMPLES))
def preprocess(example):
return {"text": tokenizer.apply_chat_template(example["messages"], tokenize=False)}
ds = ds.map(preprocess)
def tokenize(sample):
return tokenizer(sample["text"], padding=False, max_length=MAX_SEQUENCE_LENGTH, truncation=True, add_special_tokens=False)
ds = ds.map(tokenize, remove_columns=ds.column_names)
```
### 3. Applying Quantization
Now, apply the quantization algorithms:
```python
from llmcompressor import oneshot
from llmcompressor.modifiers.quantization import GPTQModifier
from llmcompressor.modifiers.smoothquant import SmoothQuantModifier
# Configure the quantization algorithms
recipe = GPTQModifier(targets="Linear", scheme="W4A16", ignore=["lm_head"])
# Apply quantization
oneshot(
model=model,
dataset=ds,
recipe=recipe,
max_seq_length=MAX_SEQUENCE_LENGTH,
num_calibration_samples=NUM_CALIBRATION_SAMPLES,
)
# Save the compressed model: Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-W4A16-G128
SAVE_DIR = MODEL_ID.split("/")[1] + "-W4A16-G128"
model.save_pretrained(SAVE_DIR, save_compressed=True)
tokenizer.save_pretrained(SAVE_DIR)
```
This process creates a W4A16 model with weights quantized to 4-bit integers.
### 4. Evaluating Accuracy
After quantization, you can load and run the model in vLLM:
```python
from vllm import LLM
llm = LLM("./Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-W4A16-G128")
```
To evaluate accuracy, you can use `lm_eval`:
```bash
lm_eval --model vllm \
--model_args pretrained="./Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-W4A16-G128",add_bos_token=true \
--tasks gsm8k \
--num_fewshot 5 \
--limit 250 \
--batch_size 'auto'
```
!!! note
Quantized models can be sensitive to the presence of the `bos` token. Make sure to include the `add_bos_token=True` argument when running evaluations.
## Best Practices
- Start with 512 samples for calibration data, and increase if accuracy drops
- Ensure the calibration data contains a high variety of samples to prevent overfitting towards a specific use case
- Use a sequence length of 2048 as a starting point
- Employ the chat template or instruction template that the model was trained with
- If you've fine-tuned a model, consider using a sample of your training data for calibration
- Tune key hyperparameters to the quantization algorithm:
- `dampening_frac` sets how much influence the GPTQ algorithm has. Lower values can improve accuracy, but can lead to numerical instabilities that cause the algorithm to fail.
- `actorder` sets the activation ordering. When compressing the weights of a layer weight, the order in which channels are quantized matters. Setting `actorder="weight"` can improve accuracy without added latency.
The following is an example of an expanded quantization recipe you can tune to your own use case:
```python
from compressed_tensors.quantization import (
QuantizationArgs,
QuantizationScheme,
QuantizationStrategy,
QuantizationType,
)
recipe = GPTQModifier(
targets="Linear",
config_groups={
"config_group": QuantizationScheme(
targets=["Linear"],
weights=QuantizationArgs(
num_bits=4,
type=QuantizationType.INT,
strategy=QuantizationStrategy.GROUP,
group_size=128,
symmetric=True,
dynamic=False,
actorder="weight",
),
),
},
ignore=["lm_head"],
update_size=NUM_CALIBRATION_SAMPLES,
dampening_frac=0.01,
)
```

Now, apply the quantization algorithms.
The following recipes create W4A8 models (int4 weights, int8 activations). On Arm® CPUs, this is accelerated through [KleidiAI](https://github.com/ARM-software/kleidiai).
Use groupwise for best accuracy, and channelwise for best inference performance.
