GPTQ 4bit Inference

Support GPTQ 4bit inference with GPTQ-for-LLaMa.

1. Window user: use the old-cuda branch.
2. Linux user: recommend the fastest-inference-4bit branch.

Install

Setup environment:

# cd /path/to/FastChat
git clone https://github.com/qwopqwop200/GPTQ-for-LLaMa.git repositories/GPTQ-for-LLaMa
cd repositories/GPTQ-for-LLaMa
# Window's user should use the `old-cuda` branch
git switch fastest-inference-4bit
# Install `quant-cuda` package in FastChat's virtualenv
python3 setup_cuda.py install
pip3 install texttable

Chat with the CLI:

python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli \
    --model-path models/vicuna-7B-1.1-GPTQ-4bit-128g \
    --gptq-wbits 4 \
    --gptq-groupsize 128

Start model worker:

# Download quantized model from huggingface
# Make sure you have git-lfs installed (https://git-lfs.com)
git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/vicuna-7B-1.1-GPTQ-4bit-128g models/vicuna-7B-1.1-GPTQ-4bit-128g

python3 -m fastchat.serve.model_worker \
    --model-path models/vicuna-7B-1.1-GPTQ-4bit-128g \
    --gptq-wbits 4 \
    --gptq-groupsize 128

# You can specify which quantized model to use
python3 -m fastchat.serve.model_worker \
    --model-path models/vicuna-7B-1.1-GPTQ-4bit-128g \
    --gptq-ckpt models/vicuna-7B-1.1-GPTQ-4bit-128g/vicuna-7B-1.1-GPTQ-4bit-128g.safetensors \
    --gptq-wbits 4 \
    --gptq-groupsize 128 \
    --gptq-act-order
