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 INT8 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-quantized.w8a8" ,
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.
