Deploy AutoQuant Models with AutoDeploy
This guide demonstrates how to deploy mixed-precision models using ModelOpt's AutoQuant and TRT-LLM's AutoDeploy.
ModelOpt's AutoQuant is a post-training quantization (PTQ) algorithm that optimizes model quantization by selecting the best quantization format for each layer while adhering to user-defined compression constraints. This approach allows users to balance model accuracy and performance effectively.
TRT-LLM's AutoDeploy is designed to simplify and accelerate the deployment of PyTorch models, including off-the-shelf models like those from Hugging Face, to optimized inference environments with TRT-LLM. It automates graph transformations to integrate inference optimizations such as tensor parallelism, KV-caching and quantization. AutoDeploy supports optimized in-framework deployment, minimizing the amount of manual modification needed.
Prerequisites
AutoDeploy is available in TensorRT-LLM docker images. Please refer to our Installation Guide for more details.
1. Quantize and Deploy Model
Run the following command to quantize your model and launch an OpenAI-compatible endpoint:
./scripts/run_auto_quant_and_deploy.sh \
--hf_ckpt <path_to_HF_model> \
--save_quantized_ckpt <path_to_save_quantized_checkpoint> \
--quant fp8,nvfp4 \
--effective_bits 4.5
Parameters:
--hf_ckpt: Path to the unquantized Hugging Face checkpoint--save_quantized_ckpt: Output path for the quantized checkpoint--quant: Quantization formats to use (e.g.,fp8,nvfp4)--effective_bits: Target overall precision (higher values preserve accuracy for sensitive layers)--calib_batch_size: (Optional, default=8) Calibration batch size. Reduce if encountering OOM issues
Note
:
- NVFP4 is only available on Blackwell GPUs. For Hopper GPUs:
- Remove
nvfp4from the--quantparameter- Increase
--effective_bitsabove 8.0 for FP8-only AutoQuant- For tensor parallelism, add
--world_size <gpu_num>- Additional generation and sampling configurations can be found in
api_server.py
2. Test the Deployment
Send test prompts to the server:
python api_client.py --prompt "What is AI?" "What is golf?"
This will return generated responses for both prompts from your deployed model.
