RedHatAI/Muse-Glimmer-30B-FP8-block
This model is a quantized version of meta-models/Muse-Glimmer-30B.
Model Optimizations
This model was obtained by quantizing the weights and activations of meta-models/Muse-Glimmer-30B to FP8 data type, ready for inference with vLLM.
This optimization reduces the number of bits per parameter from 16 to 8, reducing the disk size and GPU memory requirements by approximately 50%.
Weights are quantized using block-wise FP8 scaling (128Γ128 blocks), and activations are quantized dynamically per group (group_size=128). Only the weights and activations of the linear operators within transformer blocks are quantized using LLM Compressor. Vision tower, embedding, and output head layers are kept in their original precision.
