The path to v1.0.0

Hi, fellow community members, long time no see! I'm sorry that I haven't been able to update this project more frequently due to personal reasons during this period. The past few weeks have been huge in terms of my career plans. Not long ago, I officially bid farewell to the startup team that I joined for two years after graduation. I'm very grateful to the leaders and colleagues of the team for their trust and guidance, which enabled me to grow rapidly in two years; at the same time, I'm also really grateful to the team for allowing me to use the internal A100 GPU server cluster free of charge since the start of the AutoGPTQ project to complete various experiments and performance evaluations. (Of course, it can no longer be used in the future, so it will mean a lot to me if there will be new hardware sponsorship!) In the past two years, I have served as an AI engineer in this team, responsible for the LLM based dialogue system's architecture design and develop. We had successfully launched a product called gemsouls, but unfortunately it has ceased operations. Now, the team is about to launch a new product called modelize, which is a LLM-native AI agent platform, where users can use multiple AI agents to build a highly automated team, allowing them to interact with each other in the workflow, collaborate to complete complex projects efficiently.

Getting back to the topic, I'm very excited to see that in the past few months, research on optimizing the inference performance of LLMs has made tremendous progress. Now we can not only complete the inference of LLMs on high-end GPUs efficiently, but also on CPUs and even edge devices. A series of technological advancements make me eager to make more contributions to the open source community. Therefore, I will first use about four weeks to gradually update AutoGPTQ to the v1.0.0 official version. During this period, there will also be 2~3 minor versions are released to allow users to experience performance optimization and new features timely. In my vision, by the time v1.0.0 is officially released, AutoGPTQ will be able to serve as an extendable and flexible quantization backend that supports all GPTQ-like methods and automatically quantize LLMs written by Pytorch. I detailed the development plan in this issue, feel free to drop in there for discussion and give your suggestions!

Installation

Quick Installation

You can install the latest stable release of AutoGPTQ from pip with pre-built wheels compatible with PyTorch 2.1:

For CUDA 12.1: pip install auto-gptq
For CUDA 11.8: pip install auto-gptq --extra-index-url https://huggingface.github.io/autogptq-index/whl/cu118/
For RoCm 5.6.1: pip install auto-gptq --extra-index-url https://huggingface.github.io/autogptq-index/whl/rocm561/
For RoCm 5.7.1: pip install auto-gptq --extra-index-url https://huggingface.github.io/autogptq-index/whl/rocm571/

AutoGPTQ can be installed with the Triton dependency with pip install auto-gptq[triton] in order to be able to use the Triton backend (currently only supports linux, no 3-bits quantization).

Install from source

Clone the source code:

git clone https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ.git && cd AutoGPTQ

A few packages are required in order to build from source: `pip install numpy gekko pandas`.

Then, install from source:

pip install -v .

You can set BUILD_CUDA_EXT=0 to disable pytorch extension building, but this is strongly discouraged as AutoGPTQ then falls back on a slow python implementation.

On RoCm systems

To install from source for AMD GPUs supporting RoCm, please specify the ROCM_VERSION environment variable. Example:

ROCM_VERSION=5.6 pip install -v -e .

The compilation can be speeded up by specifying the PYTORCH_ROCM_ARCH variable (reference) in order to build for a single target device, for example gfx90a for MI200 series devices.

For RoCm systems, the packages rocsparse-dev, hipsparse-dev, rocthrust-dev, rocblas-dev and hipblas-dev are required to build.

The following combinations are tested:

RoCm version	PyTorch version
5.4.2	2.0.1
5.6	2.1.0
5.7	nightly (2.2.0.dev2023)

Quick Tour

Quantization and Inference

warning: this is just a showcase of the usage of basic apis in AutoGPTQ, which uses only one sample to quantize a much small model, quality of quantized model using such little samples may not good.

Below is an example for the simplest use of auto_gptq to quantize a model and inference after quantization:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, TextGenerationPipeline
from auto_gptq import AutoGPTQForCausalLM, BaseQuantizeConfig
import logging

logging.basicConfig(
    format="%(asctime)s %(levelname)s [%(name)s] %(message)s", level=logging.INFO, datefmt="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
)

pretrained_model_dir = "facebook/opt-125m"
quantized_model_dir = "opt-125m-4bit"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(pretrained_model_dir, use_fast=True)
examples = [
    tokenizer(
        "auto-gptq is an easy-to-use model quantization library with user-friendly apis, based on GPTQ algorithm."
    )
]

quantize_config = BaseQuantizeConfig(
    bits=4,  # quantize model to 4-bit
    group_size=128,  # it is recommended to set the value to 128
    desc_act=False,  # set to False can significantly speed up inference but the perplexity may slightly bad
)

# load un-quantized model, by default, the model will always be loaded into CPU memory
model = AutoGPTQForCausalLM.from_pretrained(pretrained_model_dir, quantize_config)

# quantize model, the examples should be list of dict whose keys can only be "input_ids" and "attention_mask"
model.quantize(examples)

# save quantized model
model.save_quantized(quantized_model_dir)

# save quantized model using safetensors
model.save_quantized(quantized_model_dir, use_safetensors=True)

# push quantized model to Hugging Face Hub.
# to use use_auth_token=True, Login first via huggingface-cli login.
# or pass explcit token with: use_auth_token="hf_xxxxxxx"
# (uncomment the following three lines to enable this feature)
# repo_id = f"YourUserName/{quantized_model_dir}"
# commit_message = f"AutoGPTQ model for {pretrained_model_dir}: {quantize_config.bits}bits, gr{quantize_config.group_size}, desc_act={quantize_config.desc_act}"
# model.push_to_hub(repo_id, commit_message=commit_message, use_auth_token=True)

# alternatively you can save and push at the same time
# (uncomment the following three lines to enable this feature)
# repo_id = f"YourUserName/{quantized_model_dir}"
# commit_message = f"AutoGPTQ model for {pretrained_model_dir}: {quantize_config.bits}bits, gr{quantize_config.group_size}, desc_act={quantize_config.desc_act}"
# model.push_to_hub(repo_id, save_dir=quantized_model_dir, use_safetensors=True, commit_message=commit_message, use_auth_token=True)

# load quantized model to the first GPU
model = AutoGPTQForCausalLM.from_quantized(quantized_model_dir, device="cuda:0")

# download quantized model from Hugging Face Hub and load to the first GPU
# model = AutoGPTQForCausalLM.from_quantized(repo_id, device="cuda:0", use_safetensors=True, use_triton=False)

# inference with model.generate
print(tokenizer.decode(model.generate(**tokenizer("auto_gptq is", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device))[0]))

# or you can also use pipeline
pipeline = TextGenerationPipeline(model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
print(pipeline("auto-gptq is")[0]["generated_text"])

For more advanced features of model quantization, please reference to this script

Customize Model

Below is an example to extend `auto_gptq` to support `OPT` model, as you will see, it's very easy:

from auto_gptq.modeling import BaseGPTQForCausalLM


class OPTGPTQForCausalLM(BaseGPTQForCausalLM):
    # chained attribute name of transformer layer block
    layers_block_name = "model.decoder.layers"
    # chained attribute names of other nn modules that in the same level as the transformer layer block
    outside_layer_modules = [
        "model.decoder.embed_tokens", "model.decoder.embed_positions", "model.decoder.project_out",
        "model.decoder.project_in", "model.decoder.final_layer_norm"
    ]
    # chained attribute names of linear layers in transformer layer module
    # normally, there are four sub lists, for each one the modules in it can be seen as one operation,
    # and the order should be the order when they are truly executed, in this case (and usually in most cases),
    # they are: attention q_k_v projection, attention output projection, MLP project input, MLP project output
    inside_layer_modules = [
        ["self_attn.k_proj", "self_attn.v_proj", "self_attn.q_proj"],
        ["self_attn.out_proj"],
        ["fc1"],
        ["fc2"]
    ]

After this, you can use OPTGPTQForCausalLM.from_pretrained and other methods as shown in Basic.

Evaluation on Downstream Tasks

You can use tasks defined in auto_gptq.eval_tasks to evaluate model's performance on specific down-stream task before and after quantization.

The predefined tasks support all causal-language-models implemented in 🤗 transformers and in this project.

Below is an example to evaluate `EleutherAI/gpt-j-6b` on sequence-classification task using `cardiffnlp/tweet_sentiment_multilingual` dataset:

from functools import partial

import datasets
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, GenerationConfig

from auto_gptq import AutoGPTQForCausalLM, BaseQuantizeConfig
from auto_gptq.eval_tasks import SequenceClassificationTask


MODEL = "EleutherAI/gpt-j-6b"
DATASET = "cardiffnlp/tweet_sentiment_multilingual"
TEMPLATE = "Question:What's the sentiment of the given text? Choices are {labels}.\nText: {text}\nAnswer:"
ID2LABEL = {
    0: "negative",
    1: "neutral",
    2: "positive"
}
LABELS = list(ID2LABEL.values())


def ds_refactor_fn(samples):
    text_data = samples["text"]
    label_data = samples["label"]

    new_samples = {"prompt": [], "label": []}
    for text, label in zip(text_data, label_data):
        prompt = TEMPLATE.format(labels=LABELS, text=text)
        new_samples["prompt"].append(prompt)
        new_samples["label"].append(ID2LABEL[label])

    return new_samples


#  model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(MODEL).eval().half().to("cuda:0")
model = AutoGPTQForCausalLM.from_pretrained(MODEL, BaseQuantizeConfig())
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(MODEL)

task = SequenceClassificationTask(
        model=model,
        tokenizer=tokenizer,
        classes=LABELS,
        data_name_or_path=DATASET,
        prompt_col_name="prompt",
        label_col_name="label",
        **{
            "num_samples": 1000,  # how many samples will be sampled to evaluation
            "sample_max_len": 1024,  # max tokens for each sample
            "block_max_len": 2048,  # max tokens for each data block
            # function to load dataset, one must only accept data_name_or_path as input
            # and return datasets.Dataset
            "load_fn": partial(datasets.load_dataset, name="english"),
            # function to preprocess dataset, which is used for datasets.Dataset.map,
            # must return Dict[str, list] with only two keys: [prompt_col_name, label_col_name]
            "preprocess_fn": ds_refactor_fn,
            # truncate label when sample's length exceed sample_max_len
            "truncate_prompt": False
        }
    )

# note that max_new_tokens will be automatically specified internally based on given classes
print(task.run())

# self-consistency
print(
    task.run(
        generation_config=GenerationConfig(
            num_beams=3,
            num_return_sequences=3,
            do_sample=True
        )
    )
)
