# RedHatAI/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it-FP8-dynamic

This model is an FP8 quantized version of [google/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it](https://huggingface.co/google/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it). The model has both weights and activations quantized to FP8 using [vllm/llm-compressor](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor) and in the [compressed-tensors](https://github.com/vllm-project/compressed-tensors) format.
It was evaluated on several tasks to assess its quality in comparison to the unquantized model using vLLM.

## Deployment
```bash
VLLM_USE_V2_MODEL_RUNNER=1
vllm serve  RedHatAI/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it-FP8-dynamic \
    --trust-remote-code \
    --max-num-seqs 4 \
    --hf-overrides '{"diffusion_sampler": "entropy_bound", "diffusion_entropy_bound": 0.1}' \
    --default-chat-template-kwargs '{"enable_thinking": true}'
```
## Creation
```python
"""
Quantize DiffusionGemma model to FP8 using LLM Compressor v0.11.0

Model: google/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it
- Total parameters: ~25.8B
- Expert parameters: 22.8B (88.4%)
- Non-expert parameters: 3.0B (11.6%)

Note: This will require a local update to transformers to support the model definition.
