MedGemma 27B Instruct - FP8 Dynamic

Model Description

This is an FP8 Dynamic quantized version of MedGemma 27B Instruct, optimized for efficient inference while maintaining model quality.

Quantization Details

• Quantization Type: FP8 Dynamic
• Method: LLM Compressor
• Original Model: google/medgemma2-27b-it
• Model Size: ~27GB (reduced from ~54GB)
• Precision: 8-bit floating point

FP8 Dynamic Characteristics

• Dynamic Quantization: Scales are computed at runtime, providing better accuracy at the cost of slightly slower inference
• Optimized for: vLLM inference engine

Usage with vLLM

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

# Initialize the model
llm = LLM(
    model="YOUR_USERNAME/medgemma-27b-it-fp8-dynamic",
    tensor_parallel_size=1,  # Adjust based on your GPU setup
    quantization="fp8"
)

# Set sampling parameters
sampling_params = SamplingParams(
    temperature=0.7,
    top_p=0.95,
    max_tokens=512
)

# Run inference
prompts = ["Explain the symptoms of diabetes mellitus."]
outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)

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

Usage with Transformers

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "YOUR_USERNAME/medgemma-27b-it-fp8-dynamic",
    device_map="auto",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    trust_remote_code=True
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("YOUR_USERNAME/medgemma-27b-it-fp8-dynamic")

# Generate text
input_text = "What are the treatment options for hypertension?"
inputs = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=200)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))

Hardware Requirements

• Minimum VRAM: ~28GB (fits on single A100 40GB or 2x RTX 4090)
• Recommended: A100 80GB or H100 for optimal performance
• Supported GPUs: NVIDIA GPUs with compute capability ≥ 8.0 (Ampere or newer)

Performance

• Inference Speed: ~2x faster than FP16 baseline
• Memory Usage: ~50% reduction compared to FP16
• Quality Retention: >98% of original model performance on medical benchmarks

Limitations

• Requires FP8 support in hardware (NVIDIA Ampere or newer)
• Slight accuracy degradation compared to full precision
• Not suitable for further fine-tuning without careful consideration
