Quantized version of google/gemma-3-1b-it.
Model Optimizations
This model was obtained by quantizing the weights of google/gemma-3-1b-it to INT8 data type, ready for inference with vLLM >= 0.8.0.
Deployment
Use with vLLM
This model can be deployed efficiently using the vLLM backend, as shown in the example below.
from vllm.assets.image import ImageAsset
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
# prepare model
llm = LLM(
model="RedHatAI/gemma-3-1b-it-quantized.w8a8",
trust_remote_code=True,
max_model_len=4096,
max_num_seqs=2,
)
# prepare inputs
question = "What is the content of this image?"
inputs = {
"prompt": f"<|user|>\n<|image_1|>\n{question}<|end|>\n<|assistant|>\n",
"multi_modal_data": {
"image": ImageAsset("cherry_blossom").pil_image.convert("RGB")
},
}
# generate response
print("========== SAMPLE GENERATION ==============")
outputs = llm.generate(inputs, SamplingParams(temperature=0.2, max_tokens=64))
print(f"PROMPT : {outputs[0].prompt}")
print(f"RESPONSE: {outputs[0].outputs[0].text}")
print("==========================================")vLLM also supports OpenAI-compatible serving. See the documentation for more details.
