[gpt2-xl](https://huggingface.co/openai-community/gpt2-xl) quantized to 4-bit using [AutoGPTQ](https://github.com/AutoGPTQ/AutoGPTQ).

To use, first install AutoGPTQ:

```shell
pip install auto-gptq
```

Then load the model from the hub:
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from auto_gptq import AutoGPTQForCausalLM, BaseQuantizeConfig

model_name = "smpanaro/gpt2-xl-AutoGPTQ-4bit-128g"
model = AutoGPTQForCausalLM.from_quantized(model_name, use_triton=True)
# Note: despite this model being quantized only using groups and desc_act=False, Triton still seems to be required.
```
