Our goal is to fine-tune the pretrained model, Llama 2 7B parameters, using 4-bit quantization to produce a Python coder. We will run the training on Google Colab using a A100 to get better performance.

Mar 30, 2024 · I conducted an empirical evaluation, training both Llama-2 and Falcon-7B models under 4-bit and 8-bit quantization schemes. The training process spanned 50 epochs, allowing us to observe how the models’ accuracies evolved over …

Jan 16, 2024 · We investigated two advanced 4-bit quantization techniques to compare with the baseline fp16 model. One is activation-aware weight quantization (AWQ) and the other is GPTQ [7] [8]. TensorRT-LLM integrates the toolkit that allows quantization and deployment for these advanced 4-bit quantized models.

This tutorial will use QLoRA, a fine-tuning method that combines quantization and LoRA. For more information about what those are and how they work, see this post . In this notebook, we will load...

May 24, 2023 · We present QLoRA, an efficient finetuning approach that reduces memory usage enough to finetune a 65B parameter model on a single 48GB GPU while preserving full 16-bit finetuning task performance. QLoRA backpropagates gradients through a frozen, 4-bit quantized pretrained language model into Low Rank Adapters~ (LoRA).

LoftQ (LoRA-fine-tuning-aware Quantization) provides a quantized backbone Q and LoRA adapters A and B, given a full-precision pre-trained weight W. This model, Llama-2-7b-hf-4bit-64rank , is obtained from LLAMA-2-7b .

Quantization: The model weights are quantized to 4-bit precision using a normalized float format. This allows the model to be more memory-efficient, making it suitable for deployment in environments with limited resources.

This project benchmarks the memory efficiency, inference speed, and accuracy of LLaMA 2 (7B, 13B) and Mistral 7B models using GPTQ quantization with 2-bit, 3-bit, 4-bit, and 8-bit configurations. The code evaluates these models on downstream tasks for performance assessment, including memory consumption and token generation speed.

Jun 1, 2023 · Fine-tuning LLaMA-7B on ~12GB VRAM with QLoRA, 4-bit quantization nvidia-smi said this required 11181MiB, at least to train on the sequence lengths of prompt that occurred initially in the alpaca dataset (~337 token long prompts).

Compared to OBQ, the quantization step itself is also faster with GPTQ: it takes 2 GPU-hours to quantize a BERT model (336M) with OBQ, whereas with GPTQ, a Bloom model (176B) can be quantized in less than 4 GPU-hours.
