# This model has been xMADified!

This repository contains [`google/gemma-2-9b-it`](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-9b-it) quantized from 16-bit floats to 4-bit integers, using xMAD.ai proprietary technology.

# Why should I use this model?

1. **Accuracy:** This xMADified model is the *best* quantized version of the [`google/gemma-2-9b-it`](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-9b-it) model (8 GB only). See _Table 1_ below for model quality benchmarks.

2. **Memory-efficiency:** The full-precision model is around 18.5 GB, while this xMADified model is only around 8 GB, making it feasible to run on a 12 GB GPU.

3. **Fine-tuning**:  These models are fine-tunable over the same reduced (12 GB GPU) hardware in mere 3-clicks. Watch our product demo [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0wX32kT90s&list=TLGGL9fvmJ-d4xsxODEwMjAyNA)

| Model | MMLU | Arc Challenge | Arc Easy | LAMBADA Standard | LAMBADA OpenAI | PIQA | WinoGrande |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [xmadai/gemma-2-9b-it-xMADai-INT4](https://huggingface.co/xmadai/gemma-2-9b-it-xMADai-INT4) (this model) | **71.17** | **62.37** | **85.61** | **70.60** | **72.15** | **81.50** | **75.06** |
| [hugging-quants/gemma-2-9b-it-AWQ-INT4](https://huggingface.co/hugging-quants/gemma-2-9b-it-AWQ-INT4) | 71.04 | 61.77 | 85.14 | 69.16 | 70.68 | 80.41 | 75.06 |

# How to Run Model

Loading the model checkpoint of this xMADified model requires around 8 GB of VRAM. Hence it can be efficiently run on a 12 GB GPU.

**Package prerequisites**:

1. Run the following *commands to install the required packages.
```bash
pip install torch==2.4.0  # Run following if you have CUDA version 11.8: pip install torch==2.4.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
pip install transformers accelerate optimum
pip install -vvv --no-build-isolation "git+https://github.com/PanQiWei/[email protected]"
```
**Sample Inference Code**
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from auto_gptq import AutoGPTQForCausalLM
model_id = "xmadai/gemma-2-9b-it-xMADai-INT4"
prompt = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant, that responds as a pirate."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "What's Deep Learning?"},
]
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id, use_fast=False)
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    prompt,
    tokenize=True,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
    return_dict=True,
).to("cuda")
model = AutoGPTQForCausalLM.from_quantized(
    model_id,
    device_map='auto',
    trust_remote_code=True,
)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, do_sample=True, max_new_tokens=1024)
print(tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True))
```
