# Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct-quantized-FP8-Dynamic
## Model Overview
- **Model Architecture:** Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct
- **Input:** Vision-Text
- **Output:** Text
- **Model Optimizations:**
- **Weight quantization:** FP8
- **Activation quantization:** FP8
- **Release Date:** 2/24/2025
- **Version:** 1.0
- **Model Developers:** Neural Magic
Quantized version of [Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct).
### Model Optimizations
This model was obtained by quantizing the weights of [Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-72B-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](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/) backend, as shown in the example below.
```python
from vllm.assets.image import ImageAsset
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
# prepare model
llm = LLM(
model="neuralmagic/Qwen2.5-VL-72B-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](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/) for more details.
## Creation
This model was created with [llm-compressor](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor) by running the code snippet below as part a multimodal announcement blog.
<details>
<summary>Model Creation Code</summary>
```python
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-72B-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 = [

# Perform oneshot
oneshot(

)
```

## Evaluation
The model was evaluated using [mistral-evals](https://github.com/neuralmagic/mistral-evals) for vision-related tasks and using [lm_evaluation_harness](https://github.com/neuralmagic/lm-evaluation-harness) for select text-based benchmarks. The evaluations were conducted using the following commands:
