Quantized version of Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct .

Model Optimizations

This model was obtained by quantizing the weights of Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct to FP8 data type, ready for inference with vLLM >= 0.5.2.

Deployment

Use with vLLM

This model can be deployed efficiently using the vLLM backend, as shown in the example below.

from vllm.assets.image import ImageAsset
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

# prepare model
llm = LLM(
    model="neuralmagic/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct-FP8-Dynamic",
    trust_remote_code=True,
    max_model_len=4096,
    max_num_seqs=2,
)

# prepare inputs
question = "What is the content of this image?"
inputs = {
    "prompt": f"<|user|>\n<|image_1|>\n{question}<|end|>\n<|assistant|>\n",
    "multi_modal_data": {
        "image": ImageAsset("cherry_blossom").pil_image.convert("RGB")
    },
}

# generate response
print("========== SAMPLE GENERATION ==============")
outputs = llm.generate(inputs, SamplingParams(temperature=0.2, max_tokens=64))
print(f"PROMPT  : {outputs[0].prompt}")
print(f"RESPONSE: {outputs[0].outputs[0].text}")
print("==========================================")

vLLM also supports OpenAI-compatible serving. See the documentation for more details.

Creation

This model was created with llm-compressor by running the code snippet below as part a multimodal announcement blog.

import requests
import torch
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoProcessor
from llmcompressor.transformers import oneshot
from llmcompressor.transformers.tracing import (
    TraceableQwen2_5_VLForConditionalGeneration,
)
from llmcompressor.modifiers.quantization import QuantizationModifier

# Load model.
model_id = Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct
model = TraceableQwen2_5_VLForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    model_id, device_map="auto", torch_dtype="auto"
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)

# Recipe
recipe = [
    QuantizationModifier(
        targets="Linear",
        scheme="FP8_DYNAMIC",
        sequential_targets=["MistralDecoderLayer"],
        ignore=["re:.*lm_head", "re:vision_tower.*", "re:multi_modal_projector.*"],
    ),
]

SAVE_DIR=f"{model_id.split('/')[1]}-FP8-Dynamic"

# Perform oneshot
oneshot(
    model=model,
    recipe=recipe,
    trust_remote_code_model=True,
    output_dir=SAVE_DIR
)

Evaluation

The model was evaluated using mistral-evals for vision-related tasks and using lm_evaluation_harness for select text-based benchmarks. The evaluations were conducted using the following commands:

Accuracy

Inference Performance

This model achieves up to 1.3x speedup in single-stream deployment and 1.37x in multi-stream deployment, depending on hardware and use-case scenario. The following performance benchmarks were conducted with vLLM version 0.7.2, and GuideLLM .

Single-stream performance (measured with vLLM version 0.7.2)

**Use case profiles: Image Size (WxH) / prompt tokens / generation tokens

**QPD: Queries per dollar, based on on-demand cost at Lambda Labs (observed on 2/18/2025).

Multi-stream asynchronous performance (measured with vLLM version 0.7.2)

**Use case profiles: Image Size (WxH) / prompt tokens / generation tokens

**QPS: Queries per second.
