Gemma-4-31B-it-uncensored-heretic-Quark-W8A8-INT8

W8A8 INT8 quantized version of llmfan46/gemma-4-31B-it-uncensored-heretic using AMD Quark.

Model Details

Quantization Scheme

Accuracy

GSM8K 8-shot evaluation on the full 1319-question test split using vLLM's OpenAI-compatible chat API (temperature=0, concurrency=16, max_tokens=512, standard chat template, and final-answer format #### <answer>). Values are only populated when this card is regenerated with EVAL_BASELINE_JSON and/or EVAL_QUANT_JSON from eval_gsm8k_chat_vllm.py.

How to Use

With vLLM (Recommended)

# Generic vLLM serve command. Use TP=4 for 4x24GB RDNA3 cards.
vllm serve valoomba/Gemma-4-31B-it-uncensored-heretic-Quark-W8A8-INT8 \
    --tensor-parallel-size 4 \
    --max-model-len 8192 \
    --gpu-memory-utilization 0.9 \
    --limit-mm-per-prompt '{"image":0,"audio":0,"video":0}' \
    --trust-remote-code

# On the local RDNA3/gfx1100 vLLM fork, use the optimized INT8 Triton path:
vllm serve valoomba/Gemma-4-31B-it-uncensored-heretic-Quark-W8A8-INT8 \
    --tensor-parallel-size 4 \
    --max-model-len 8192 \
    --gpu-memory-utilization 0.9 \
    --limit-mm-per-prompt '{"image":0,"audio":0,"video":0}' \
    --trust-remote-code \
    --linear-backend triton

curl http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "valoomba/Gemma-4-31B-it-uncensored-heretic-Quark-W8A8-INT8",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello! What is the capital of France?"}],
    "max_tokens": 256,
    "temperature": 0.7
  }'

Hardware Requirements

• Minimum for one GPU: a GPU with roughly >=48 GB VRAM for typical short-context serving.
• 4x24 GB consumer RDNA3: use tensor parallelism, for example --tensor-parallel-size 4, and keep multimodal limits disabled for text-only serving as shown above.
• For longer context or larger batches, increase tensor parallelism or reduce --max-model-len / batch settings.

Quantization Details

This model was quantized using AMD Quark's per-token per-channel INT8 scheme:

• Weight quantization: INT8 per-channel (one scale per output channel), symmetric, static.
• Activation quantization: INT8 per-token (one scale per token), symmetric, dynamic (computed at inference time).
• Excluded layers: lm_head, token embeddings, the full vision_tower, and embed_vision remain BF16.
• Export: pack_method='order', weight_format='real_quantized', Quark metadata (quant_method='quark') → real INT8 weights with BF16/FP32 scales depending on loader/export path; no fake-quant weights are stored.
• Quantization path: CPU file-to-file quantization with no calibration data and no full model graph load.

Reproduce Quantization

pip install amd-quark==0.11.1 huggingface_hub safetensors

HIP_VISIBLE_DEVICES="" ROCR_VISIBLE_DEVICES="" CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="" \
MODEL_IN=llmfan46/gemma-4-31B-it-uncensored-heretic \
MODEL_OUT=./Gemma-4-31B-it-uncensored-heretic-Quark-W8A8-INT8 \
HF_REPO_ID=valoomba/Gemma-4-31B-it-uncensored-heretic-Quark-W8A8-INT8 \
python quantize_gemma4_heretic_quark_w8a8_cpu.py

The script builds the Quark config explicitly:

weight: INT8, per_channel, ch_axis=0, symmetric=True, is_dynamic=False
input:  INT8, per_channel, ch_axis=1, symmetric=True, is_dynamic=True

and then runs:

quantizer.direct_quantize_checkpoint(
    pretrained_model_path=MODEL_IN,
    save_path=MODEL_OUT,
    device="cpu",
)
