# L3.3-Damascus-R1 - FP8 Dynamic Quantization
This is an FP8 quantized version of [Steelskull/L3.3-Damascus-R1](https://huggingface.co/Steelskull/L3.3-Damascus-R1) using `llmcompressor` with the FP8_DYNAMIC scheme.
## Model Details
- **Base Model**: Steelskull/L3.3-Damascus-R1
- **Quantization**: FP8_DYNAMIC (W8A8)
- **Format**: compressed-tensors (SafeTensors)
- **Memory**: ~50% of original BF16 size
- **Quality**: <1-2% degradation on benchmarks (typical)
## Quick Start
### vLLM (Recommended)
```bash
pip install vllm
# Serve the model
vllm serve REPO_ID \
--max-model-len 32768 \
--gpu-memory-utilization 0.95
# Python API
from vllm import LLM
llm = LLM(model="REPO_ID")
outputs = llm.generate("Hello, how are you?")
print(outputs[0].outputs[0].text)
```
### Transformers
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
"REPO_ID",
device_map="auto",
torch_dtype="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("REPO_ID")
messages = [{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Hello!'}]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors='pt').to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=512)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
```
## Quantization Details
This model was quantized using:
- **Tool**: [llmcompressor](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor)
- **Method**: FP8_DYNAMIC (Round-to-Nearest)
- **Targets**: All Linear layers except `lm_head`
- **Scheme**: W8A8 (8-bit weights and activations)
## Performance
### Memory Usage
- **Original BF16**: ~2× size of FP8
- **FP8 Quantized**: ~50% of original
- **Savings**: ~50% VRAM reduction
### Inference Speed
- Expect 1.3-1.8× faster inference vs BF16
- 2× higher throughput (more KV cache available)
## Use Cases
Perfect for:
- ✅ Production inference on limited VRAM
- ✅ Running larger models on single GPU
- ✅ Cost-effective API serving
- ✅ High-throughput applications
- ✅ Extended context lengths (more KV cache)
## Hardware Requirements
**Minimum VRAM** (approximate):
- 70B model: ~40 GB (RTX A6000, A100 40GB)
- 123B model: ~70 GB (A100 80GB, H100, H200)
**Recommended**:
- H100/H200 for best performance
- vLLM for optimized serving
- Enable FP8 KV cache for extended context
## Important Notes
⚠️ **Quantization Trade-offs**:
- Slight quality degradation (typically <1-2%)
- Not suitable for fine-tuning (inference only)
- Best with vLLM (has FP8 kernel optimizations)
✅ **Best Practices**:
- Use `--kv-cache-dtype fp8` for longer contexts
- Set `--gpu-memory-utilization 0.90-0.95`
- Add `--enforce-eager` if you encounter compilation issues
