Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-GPTQ-INT4

This is a 4-bit GPTQ quantized version of Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct, optimized for efficient inference with vLLM.

Model Details

• Base Model: Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct
• Quantization: GPTQ INT4 (4-bit weights)
• Group Size: 128
• Model Size: ~2.1 GB (vs 2.89 GB FP16)
• Compression: 1.4x smaller than FP16
• Format: vLLM-compatible GPTQ

Performance

• Accuracy: MMLU score: 0.65 (minimal degradation from original)
• Inference Speed: 1.5-4x faster with vLLM (depending on batch size)
• Memory Usage: 2-3x less VRAM required

Usage

With vLLM (Recommended)

```python from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

Load the model

model = LLM("DeclarIA/qwen2.5-1.5b-instruct-gptq-int4")

Configure generation

sampling_params = SamplingParams( temperature=0.7, top_p=0.9, max_tokens=512, )

Generate text

prompts = ["Explain quantum computing in simple terms:"] outputs = model.generate(prompts, sampling_params)

for output in outputs: print(output.outputs[0].text) ```

With Transformers + AutoGPTQ

```python from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained( "DeclarIA/qwen2.5-1.5b-instruct-gptq-int4", device_map="auto", trust_remote_code=True )

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained( "DeclarIA/qwen2.5-1.5b-instruct-gptq-int4", trust_remote_code=True )

Generate text

inputs = tokenizer("Hello, how are you?", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device) outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=100) print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)) ```

Quantization Details

This model was quantized using a custom GPTQ implementation with the following settings:

• Bits: 4
• Group Size: 128
• Calibration Dataset: WikiText2
• desc_act: True (activation-order quantization)
• sym: True (symmetric quantization)

Benchmarks

Metric	Original (FP16)	Quantized (INT4)	Change
Model Size	2.89 GB	2.1 GB	-27%
MMLU Score	0.65	0.65	0%
Memory Usage	~3-4 GB VRAM	~1-2 GB VRAM	-50-60%
Inference Speed	40.65 tok/s	60-150 tok/s*	+50-270%

*Speed depends on batch size, sequence length, and hardware

Advantages

• Efficient Deployment: Smaller model size and lower memory footprint
• Fast Inference: Optimized for vLLM's inference engine
• Minimal Accuracy Loss: <2% degradation on benchmarks
• Production Ready: Compatible with vLLM, AutoGPTQ, and Text Generation Inference

Use Cases

Perfect for:

• Resource-constrained environments
• High-throughput serving
• Edge deployment
• Cost-effective inference at scale
• Real-time applications

Limitations

• Slight accuracy degradation compared to FP16 (<2%)
• Requires GPTQ-compatible inference framework (vLLM, AutoGPTQ, TGI)
• May not be suitable for tasks requiring maximum precision
