🤗 Huggingface in collaboration with bitsandbytes incorporated the AutoGPTQ library into Transformers. This integration enabled users to quantize and operate models with precision levels as low as 8, 4, 3, or even 2 bits, employing the GPTQ algorithm introduced by Frantar et al. in 2023. It's important to note that using 4-bit quantization yields minimal loss of accuracy, while still maintaining inference speeds similar to the fp16 baseline when working with small batch sizes. It's worth mentioning that the GPTQ method differs slightly from the post-training quantization techniques proposed by bitsandbytes, as it necessitates the use of a calibration dataset.

What is GPTQ ?

GPTQ is a neural network compression technique that enables the efficient deployment of Generative Pretrained Transformers.

Most LLMs have billions, if not tens of billions, of parameters. Running these models requires 100s gigabytes of storage and multi-GPU servers, which can be prohibitive in terms of cost.

Two active research directions aim to reduce the inference cost of GPTs.

• One avenue is to train more efficient and smaller models.
• The second method is to make existing models smaller post-training.

The second method has the advantage of not requiring any re-training, which is prohibitively expensive and time-consuming for LLMs. GPTQ falls in the second category.

How Does GPTQ work?

GPTQ is a Layerwise Quantization algorithm. GPTQ quantizes the weights of the LLM one by one in isolation. GPTQ converts the floating-point parameters of each weight matrix into quantized integers such that the error at the output is minimized. Quantization also requires a small sample of data for calibration which can take more than one hour on a consumer GPU.

Once quantized, the model can run on a much smaller GPU. For instance, the original Llama 2 7B wouldn't run on a 12 GB of VRAM (which is about what you get on a free Google Colab instance), but it would easily run once quantized. Not only it would run, but it would also leave a significant amount of VRAM unused allowing inference with bigger batches.

Layerwise Quantization

The Layerwise Quantization aims to find quantized values that minimize the error at the output.

There are a few things to pay attention to when looking at the formula above:

• The formulation requires having an understanding of the input's statistics. GPTQ is a One Shot Quantization, not a Zero Shot Quantization, as it relies on the distribution of the input features.
• It assumes that the quantization steps are set before running the algorithm.

Required Packages For Implementaion

LLM : Zephyr 7B Alpha :

Zephyr is a series of language models that are trained to act as helpful assistants. Zephyr-7B-α is the first model in the series, and is a fine-tuned version of mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1 that was trained on on a mix of publicly available, synthetic datasets using Direct Preference Optimization (DPO). We found that removing the in-built alignment of these datasets boosted performance on MT Bench and made the model more helpful.

Model description:

• Model type: A 7B parameter GPT-like model fine-tuned on a mix of publicly available, synthetic datasets.
• Language(s) (NLP): Primarily English
• License: MIT
• Finetuned from model: mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1

TRL Library:

trl is a full stack library where we provide a set of tools to train transformer language models and stable diffusion models with Reinforcement Learning, from the Supervised Fine-tuning step (SFT), Reward Modeling step (RM) to the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) step. The library is built on top of the transformers library by 🤗 Hugging Face. Therefore, pre-trained language models can be directly loaded via transformers. At this point most of decoder architectures and encoder-decoder architectures are supported. Refer to the documentation or the examples/ folder for example code snippets and how to run these tools.

Highlights:

•SFTTrainer: A light and friendly wrapper around transformers Trainer to easily fine-tune language models or adapters on a custom dataset.

•RewardTrainer: A light wrapper around transformers Trainer to easily fine-tune language models for human preferences (Reward Modeling).

•PPOTrainer: A PPO trainer for language models that just needs (query, response, reward) triplets to optimise the language model.

• AutoModelForCausalLMWithValueHead & AutoModelForSeq2SeqLMWithValueHead: A transformer model with an additional scalar output for each token which can be used as a value function in reinforcement learning.

PeFT Library

🤗 PEFT, or Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT), is a library for efficiently adapting pre-trained language models (PLMs) to various downstream applications without fine-tuning all the model's parameters. PEFT methods only fine-tune a small number of (extra) model parameters, significantly decreasing computational and storage costs because fine-tuning large-scale PLMs is prohibitively costly. Recent state-of-the-art PEFT techniques achieve performance comparable to that of full fine-tuning.

Accelerate

🤗 Accelerate is a library that enables the same PyTorch code to be run across any distributed configuration by adding just four lines of code! In short, training and inference at scale made simple, efficient and adaptable.

BitsAndBytes

The bitsandbytes is a lightweight wrapper around CUDA custom functions, in particular 8-bit optimizers, matrix multiplication (LLM.int8()), and quantization functions.

AutoGPTQ

An easy-to-use LLMs quantization package with user-friendly apis, based on GPTQ algorithm.

Optimum

🤗 Optimum is an extension of Transformers that provides a set of performance optimization tools to train and run models on targeted hardware with maximum efficiency.
