Instructions to use liodon-ai/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-FP8 with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use liodon-ai/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-FP8 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="liodon-ai/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-FP8")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("liodon-ai/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-FP8")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("liodon-ai/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-FP8", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct — FP8 (dynamic)

FP8 quantization of Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct, published by Liodon AI.

Quantized with llm-compressor using the FP8_DYNAMIC scheme: weights are cast to FP8 (E4M3) per-channel ahead of time, activations are quantized to FP8 dynamically per-token at inference time. No calibration dataset is needed for this scheme, so the quantized weights are numerically just a direct cast of the original — no calibration-set bias to worry about. lm_head is left unquantized (standard practice — negligible size, disproportionate quality impact if quantized).

Original size: 3.1 GB → Quantized: 1.8 GB.

Quick Start

vLLM

vllm serve liodon-ai/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-FP8

Text Generation Inference (TGI)

docker run --gpus all -p 8080:80 ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference \
    --model-id liodon-ai/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-FP8

SGLang

python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path liodon-ai/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-FP8

FP8 execution requires an NVIDIA GPU with compute capability ≥ 8.9 (Ada/Hopper/Blackwell — RTX 40-series, L4/L40S, H100/H200, B100/B200/GB10). On older GPUs, vLLM/TGI will dequantize to run, which loses the speed/memory benefit.
