Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E-Instruct-block-FP8
Model Overview
- Model Architecture: Llama4ForConditionalGeneration
- Input: Text, Image
- Output: Text
- Model Optimizations:
- Weight quantization: FP8
- Activation quantization: FP8
- Release Date:
- Version: 1.0
- Model Developers:: Red Hat
Quantized version of meta-llama/Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E-Instruct.
Model Optimizations
This model was obtained by quantizing the weights and activations of meta-llama/Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E-Instruct to FP8 data type. This optimization reduces the number of bits per parameter from 16 to 8, reducing the disk size and GPU memory requirements by approximately 50%. Only the weights and activations of the linear operators within transformers blocks of the language model are quantized.
Deployment
Use with vLLM
- Initialize vLLM server:
vllm serve RedHatAI/Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E-Instruct-block-FP8 --tensor_parallel_size 8- Send requests to the server:
from openai import OpenAI
# Modify OpenAI's API key and API base to use vLLM's API server.
openai_api_key = "EMPTY"
openai_api_base = "http://<your-server-host>:8000/v1"
client = OpenAI(
api_key=openai_api_key,
base_url=openai_api_base,
)
model = "RedHatAI/Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E-Instruct-block-FP8"
