LLM Quantizer

A CLI tool that applies post-training quantization to large language models, significantly reducing their memory footprint and enabling efficient inference on consumer-grade hardware. This tool is useful for developers looking to deploy LLMs on laptops without sacrificing much accuracy.

What It Does

  • Supports dynamic quantization for faster inference.
  • Supports static quantization for even greater memory savings.
  • Easy-to-use command-line interface.

Installation

Install the required dependencies:

pip install torch pytest

Usage

Run the tool from the command line:

python llm_quantizer.py --model_path <path_to_model> --quantization_type <dynamic|static> --output_path <output_path>

Arguments

  • --model_path: Path to the pre-trained PyTorch model file.
  • --quantization_type: Type of quantization to apply (dynamic or static).
  • --output_path: Path to save the quantized model.

Example

python llm_quantizer.py --model_path model.pth --quantization_type dynamic --output_path quantized_model.pth

Source Code

from torch.quantization import quantize_dynamic, prepare, convert

    """
