gpt-oss-20b-WFP8-AFP8-KVFP8

• Introduction

  This model was quantized from openai/gpt-oss-20b using AMD-Quark with calibration samples from the Pile dataset.

• Quantization schemes

  • Quantized Layers: All linear (both attention linear and MoE linear) layers excluding lm_head
  • Weight: quantized using FP8 symmetric per-tensor scheme
  • Activation: quantized using FP8 symmetric per-tensor scheme
  • KV Cache: FP8 symmetric per-tensor

Deployment

This model supports deployment through the vLLM backend. Please ensure PR#29008, PR#31962 have been correctly applied.

Evaluation

This model is evaluated on gpqa_diamond_generative_n_shot and gsm8k_platinum tasks using the lm-evaluation-harness framework with vllm backend.
