# AWQ 4bit Inference
We integrated [AWQ](https://github.com/mit-han-lab/llm-awq) into FastChat to provide **efficient and accurate** 4bit LLM inference.
## Install AWQ
Setup environment (please refer to [this link](https://github.com/mit-han-lab/llm-awq#install) for more details):
```bash
conda create -n fastchat-awq python=3.10 -y
conda activate fastchat-awq
# cd /path/to/FastChat
pip install --upgrade pip # enable PEP 660 support
pip install -e . # install fastchat
git clone https://github.com/mit-han-lab/llm-awq repositories/llm-awq
cd repositories/llm-awq
pip install -e . # install awq package
cd awq/kernels
python setup.py install # install awq CUDA kernels
```
## Chat with the CLI
```bash
# Download quantized model from huggingface
# Make sure you have git-lfs installed (https://git-lfs.com)
git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/mit-han-lab/vicuna-7b-v1.3-4bit-g128-awq
# You can specify which quantized model to use by setting --awq-ckpt
python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli \
--model-path models/vicuna-7b-v1.3-4bit-g128-awq \
--awq-wbits 4 \
--awq-groupsize 128
```
## Benchmark
* Through **4-bit weight quantization**, AWQ helps to run larger language models within the device memory restriction and prominently accelerates token generation. All benchmarks are done with group_size 128.
