# GLM-OCR-Pruned-8bit
![Model Size](https://img.shields.io/badge/Disk-1.3GB-brightgreen) ![GPU](https://img.shields.io/badge/GPU-2.3GB-blue) ![Quant](https://img.shields.io/badge/8--bit-✅-orange)

**Production GLM-OCR: 52% smaller (2.7GB→1.3GB), fully 8-bit, OCR optimized**

## 📊 Performance
| Metric | Original | **Optimized** |
|--------|----------|---------------|
| **Parameters** | 1.1B | **1.1B (4.3% pruned)** |
| **Disk** | 2.7GB | **1.3GB** (52%↓) |
| **GPU** | 3.5GB+ | **2.3GB** |
| **Speed** | 1x | **2-3x** |

## 🚀 Quickstart
```python
from transformers import BitsAndBytesConfig, AutoProcessor, AutoModelForImageTextToText
import torch

MODEL_PATH = "ManiKumarAdapala/glm-ocr-pruned-8bit"

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {
                "type": "image",
                "url": "Image.jpeg"
            },
            {
                "type": "text",
                "text": "Text Recognition:"
            }
        ],
    }
]

quant_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_8bit=True)

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(MODEL_PATH)
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained(
    pretrained_model_name_or_path=MODEL_PATH,
    quantization_config=quant_config,
    device_map="auto",
)

inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=True,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    return_dict=True,
    return_tensors="pt"
).to(model.device)

inputs.pop("token_type_ids", None)

generated_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=8192)

output_text = processor.decode(generated_ids[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=False)

print(output_text)
```

## 🛠 Optimizations Applied

- ✅ Selective Pruning: q_proj, v_proj, fc2, vision_tower (52%)
- ✅ BitsAndBytes 8-bit: Linear8bitLt (vision+text decoder)
- ✅ Protected: lm_head, early vision, final decoder layers
