INT4 Weight-only Quantization and Deployment (W4A16)

LMDeploy adopts AWQ algorithm for 4bit weight-only quantization. By developed the high-performance cuda kernel, the 4bit quantized model inference achieves up to 2.4x faster than FP16.

LMDeploy supports the following NVIDIA GPU for W4A16 inference:

Turing(sm75): 20 series, T4
Ampere(sm80,sm86): 30 series, A10, A16, A30, A100
Ada Lovelace(sm90): 40 series

Before proceeding with the quantization and inference, please ensure that lmdeploy is installed.

pip install lmdeploy[all]

Inference

To deploy InternVL2, please configure the chat template config first. Create the following JSON file chat_template.json.

{
    "model_name":"internvl-internlm2",
    "meta_instruction":"我是书生·万象，英文名是InternVL，是由上海人工智能实验室及多家合作单位联合开发的多模态大语言模型。",
    "stop_words":["<|im_start|>", "<|im_end|>"]
}

Trying the following codes, you can perform the batched offline inference with the quantized model:

from lmdeploy import pipeline
from lmdeploy.model import ChatTemplateConfig
from lmdeploy.messages import TurbomindEngineConfig
from lmdeploy.vl import load_image

model = 'OpenGVLab/InternVL2-2B-AWQ'
chat_template_config = ChatTemplateConfig.from_json('chat_template.json')
image = load_image('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-mmlab/mmdeploy/main/tests/data/tiger.jpeg')
backend_config = TurbomindEngineConfig(model_format='awq')
pipe = pipeline(model, chat_template_config=chat_template_config,
                backend_config=backend_config,
                log_level='INFO')
response = pipe(('describe this image', image))
print(response)

For more information about the pipeline parameters, please refer to here.

Service

LMDeploy's api_server enables models to be easily packed into services with a single command. The provided RESTful APIs are compatible with OpenAI's interfaces. Below are an example of service startup.

lmdeploy serve api_server OpenGVLab/InternVL2-2B-AWQ --model-name InternVL2-2B-AWQ --backend turbomind --server-port 23333 --model-format awq --chat-template chat_template.json

To use the OpenAI-style interface, you need to install OpenAI:

Then, use the code below to make the API call:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY', base_url='http://0.0.0.0:23333/v1')
model_name = client.models.list().data[0].id
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="InternVL2-2B-AWQ",
    messages=[{
        'role':
        'user',
        'content': [{
            'type': 'text',
            'text': 'describe this image',
        }, {
            'type': 'image_url',
            'image_url': {
                'url':
                'https://modelscope.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/resource/tiger.jpeg',
            },
        }],
    }],
    temperature=0.8,
    top_p=0.8)
print(response)
