Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-ONNX-INT4

Meta Llama 3.1 8B Instruct ONNX INT4

Model Developer: Meta

Model Description

The Llama 3.1 8B Instruct ONNX INT4 model is the AWQ quantized version of the Meta Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct model, which is an auto-regressive language model that uses an optimized transformer architecture for multilingual dialogue use cases. For more information, please check here. The Llama 3.1 8B Instruct ONNX INT4 model is quantized with TensorRT Model Optimizer.

This model is ready for commercial and research use case.

Steps followed to generate this quantized model:

• 1. Download Meta Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct model in Pytorch bfloat16 format from HuggingFace.
• 1. Convert PyTorch model to ONNX FP16 using onnxruntime-genai model builder.
• 1. Quantize Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct ONNX FP16 model to Llama-3.1-8B ONNX INT4 AWQ model using TensorRT Model Optimizer – Windows.
