To try on Intel Gaudi2, docker image with Gaudi Software Stack is recommended, please refer to following script for environment setup. More details can be found in [Gaudi Guide](https://docs.habana.ai/en/latest/Installation_Guide/Bare_Metal_Fresh_OS.html#launch-docker-image-that-was-built). ```bash # Run a container with an interactive shell docker run -it --runtime=habana -e HABANA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all -e OMPI_MCA_btl_vader_single_copy_mechanism=none --cap-add=sys_nice --net=host --ipc=host vault.habana.ai/gaudi-docker/1.18.0/ubuntu22.04/habanalabs/pytorch-installer-2.4.0:latest ``` Run the example: ```python from neural_compressor.torch.quantization import ( FP8Config, prepare, convert, ) import torch import torchvision.models as models model = models.resnet18() qconfig = FP8Config(fp8_config="E4M3") model = prepare(model, qconfig) # Customer defined calibration. Below is a dummy calibration model(torch.randn(1, 3, 224, 224).to("hpu")) model = convert(model) output = model(torch.randn(1, 3, 224, 224).to("hpu")).to("cpu") print(output.shape) ``` ### Weight-Only Large Language Model Loading (LLMs) Following example code demonstrates weight-only large language model loading on Intel Gaudi2 AI Accelerator. ```python from neural_compressor.torch.quantization import load model_name = "TheBloke/Llama-2-7B-GPTQ" model = load( model_name_or_path=model_name, format="huggingface", device="hpu", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, ) ``` **Note:** Intel Neural Compressor will convert the model format from auto-gptq to hpu format on the first load and save hpu_model.safetensors to the local cache directory for the next load. So it may take a while to load for the first time. ## Documentation <table class="docutils"> <thead> <tr> <th colspan="8">Overview</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"><a href="./docs/source/3x/design.md#architecture">Architecture</a></td> <td colspan="2" align="center"><a href="./docs/source/3x/design.md#workflows">Workflow</a></td> <td colspan="2" align="center"><a href="https://intel.github.io/neural-compressor/latest/docs/source/api-doc/apis.html">APIs</a></td> <td colspan="1" align="center"><a href="./docs/source/3x/llm_recipes.md">LLMs Recipes</a></td> <td colspan="1" align="center"><a href="./examples/3.x_api/README.md">Examples</a></td> </tr> </tbody> <thead> <tr> <th colspan="8">PyTorch Extension APIs</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"><a href="./docs/source/3x/PyTorch.md">Overview</a></td> <td colspan="2" align="center"><a href="./docs/source/3x/PT_DynamicQuant.md">Dynamic Quantization</a></td> <td colspan="2" align="center"><a href="./docs/source/3x/PT_StaticQuant.md">Static Quantization</a></td> <td colspan="2" align="center"><a href="./docs/source/3x/PT_SmoothQuant.md">Smooth Quantization</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"><a href="./docs/source/3x/PT_WeightOnlyQuant.md">Weight-Only Quantization</a></td> <td colspan="2" align="center"><a href="./docs/source/3x/PT_FP8Quant.md">FP8 Quantization</a></td> <td colspan="2" align="center"><a href="./docs/source/3x/PT_MXQuant.md">MX Quantization</a></td> <td colspan="2" align="center"><a href="./docs/source/3x/PT_MixedPrecision.md">Mixed Precision</a></td> </tr> </tbody> <thead> <tr> <th colspan="8">Tensorflow Extension APIs</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="3" align="center"><a href="./docs/source/3x/TensorFlow.md">Overview</a></td> <td colspan="3" align="center"><a href="./docs/source/3x/TF_Quant.md">Static Quantization</a></td> <td colspan="2" align="center"><a href="./docs/source/3x/TF_SQ.md">Smooth Quantization</a></td> </tr> </tbody> <thead> <tr> <th colspan="8">Transformers-like APIs</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="8" align="center"><a href="./docs/source/3x/transformers_like_api.md">Overview</a></td> </tr> </tbody> <thead> <tr> <th colspan="8">Other Modules</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="4" align="center"><a href="./docs/source/3x/autotune.md">Auto Tune</a></td> <td colspan="4" align="center"><a href="./docs/source/3x/benchmark.md">Benchmark</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> > **Note**: > From 3.0 release, we recommend to use 3.X API.
