# DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-awq-asym-uint4-g128-lmhead
- ## Introduction
  This model was created by applying [Quark](https://quark.docs.amd.com/latest/index.html) with calibration samples from Pile dataset.
- ## Quantization Strategy
  - ***Quantized Layers***: All linear layers
  - ***Weight***: uint4 asymmetric per-group, group_size=128
- ## Quick Start
1. [Download and install Quark](https://quark.docs.amd.com/latest/install.html)
2. Run the quantization script in the example folder using the following command line:
    ```sh
    export MODEL_DIR = [local model checkpoint folder] or DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B
    # single GPU
    python quantize_quark.py --model_dir $MODEL_DIR \
                            --output_dir output_dir $MODEL_NAME-awq-asym-uint4-g128-lmhead \
                            --quant_scheme w_uint4_per_group_asym \
                            --num_calib_data 128 \
                            --quant_algo awq \
                            --dataset pileval_for_awq_benchmark \
                            --seq_len 512 \
                            --model_export hf_format \
                            --data_type bfloat16 \
                            --exclude_layers
    # cpu
    python quantize_quark.py --model_dir $MODEL_DIR \
                            --output_dir output_dir $MODEL_NAME-awq-asym-uint4-g128-lmhead \
                            --quant_scheme w_uint4_per_group_asym \
                            --num_calib_data 128 \
                            --quant_algo awq \
                            --dataset pileval_for_awq_benchmark \
                            --seq_len 512 \
                            --model_export hf_format \
                            --data_type bfloat16 \
                            --exclude_layers \
                            --device cpu
    ```
## Deployment
Quark has its own export format, quark_safetensors, which is compatible with autoAWQ exports.
## Evaluation
Quark currently uses perplexity(PPL) as the evaluation metric for accuracy loss before and after quantization.The specific PPL algorithm can be referenced in the quantize_quark.py.
The quantization evaluation results are conducted in pseudo-quantization mode, which may slightly differ from the actual quantized inference accuracy. These results are provided for reference only.
