Llama-v3.2-3B-Instruct-SSD: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices
Llama 3 is a family of LLMs. The model is quantized to w4a16 (4-bit weights and 16-bit activations) and part of the model is quantized to w8a16 (8-bit weights and 16-bit activations) making it suitable for on-device deployment. This variant uses Self Speculative Decoding (SSD), inference acceleration solution that achieves on-target speed up with guaranteed output accuracy identical to the base model. Choose this variant over llama_v3_2_3b_instruct for faster token generation on supported devices.
This is based on the implementation of Llama-v3.2-3B-Instruct-SSD found here. This repository contains pre-exported model files optimized for Qualcomm® devices. You can use the Qualcomm® AI Hub Models library to export with custom configurations. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found here.
Qualcomm AI Hub Models uses Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench to compile, profile, and evaluate this model. Sign up to run these models on a hosted Qualcomm® device.
Deploying Llama-v3.2-3B-Instruct-SSD on-device
Follow the GenieX quickstart to install GenieX and deploy the model on a target device.
You'll need to export the model artifact using the steps below, then follow Run a Local Model with GenieX.
See the LLM-on-Genie tutorial to run with the Genie runtime. Note: Genie support will be deprecated soon.
Getting Started
Due to licensing restrictions, we cannot distribute pre-exported model assets for this model. Use the Qualcomm® AI Hub Models Python library to compile and export the model with your own:
- Custom weights (e.g., fine-tuned checkpoints)
- Custom input shapes
- Target device and runtime configurations
See our repository for Llama-v3.2-3B-Instruct-SSD on GitHub for usage instructions.
Model Details
Model Type: Model_use_case.text_generation
Model Stats:
- Supported languages: English.
- TTFT: Time To First Token is the time it takes to generate the first response token. This is expressed as a range because it varies based on the length of the prompt. The lower bound is for a short prompt (up to 128 tokens, i.e., one iteration of the prompt processor) and the upper bound is for a prompt using the full context length (4096 tokens).
- Response Rate: Rate of response generation after the first response token.
- Self Speculative Decoding (SSD): Single-model LLM inference acceleration solution that achieves on-target speed up with guaranteed output accuracy identical to the base model. Choose this variant over llama_v3_2_3b_instruct for faster token generation on supported devices.
