# Qwen3-32B-FP8-block
## Model Overview
- **Model Architecture:** Qwen3ForCausalLM
- **Input:** Text
- **Output:** Text
- **Model Optimizations:**
- **Weight quantization:** FP8
- **Activation quantization:** FP8
- **Release Date:**
- **Version:** 1.0
- **Model Developers:**: Red Hat
Quantized version of [Qwen/Qwen3-32B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-32B).
### Model Optimizations
This model was obtained by quantizing the weights and activations of [Qwen/Qwen3-32B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-32B) to FP8 data type.
This optimization reduces the number of bits per parameter from 16 to 8, reducing the disk size and GPU memory requirements by approximately 50%.
Only the weights and activations of the linear operators within transformers blocks of the language model are quantized.
## Deployment
### Use with vLLM
1. Initialize vLLM server:
```
vllm serve nm-testing/Qwen3-32B-FP8-block --tensor_parallel_size 4
```
2. Send requests to the server:
```python
from openai import OpenAI
# Modify OpenAI's API key and API base to use vLLM's API server.
openai_api_key = "EMPTY"
openai_api_base = "http://<your-server-host>:8000/v1"
client = OpenAI(
api_key=openai_api_key,
base_url=openai_api_base,
)
model = "nm-testing/Qwen3-32B-FP8-block"
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum mechanics clearly and concisely."},
]
outputs = client.chat.completions.create(
model=model,
messages=messages,
)
generated_text = outputs.choices[0].message.content
print(generated_text)
```
## Creation
This model was quantized using the [llm-compressor](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor) library as shown below.
<details>
<summary>Creation details</summary>
```python
from transformers import AutoProcessor, Qwen3ForCausalLM
from llmcompressor import oneshot
from llmcompressor.modeling import replace_modules_for_calibration
from llmcompressor.modifiers.quantization import QuantizationModifier
MODEL_ID = ""nm-testing/Qwen3-32B-FP8-block""
# Load model.
model = Qwen3ForCausalLM.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID, dtype="auto")
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)
model = replace_modules_for_calibration(model)
# Configure the quantization algorithm and scheme.
# In this case, we:
# * quantize the weights to fp8 with per-block quantization
# * quantize the activations to fp8 with dynamic token activations
recipe = QuantizationModifier(
targets="Linear",
scheme="FP8_BLOCK",
ignore=["lm_head"],
)
# Apply quantization.
oneshot(model=model, recipe=recipe)
# Save to disk in compressed-tensors format.
SAVE_DIR = MODEL_ID.rstrip("/").split("/")[-1] + "-FP8-block"
model.save_pretrained(SAVE_DIR)
processor.save_pretrained(SAVE_DIR)
```

## Evaluation
The model was evaluated on the OpenLLM leaderboard task, using [lm-evaluation-harness](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness).
[vLLM](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/stable/) was used for all evaluations.
