📌 How to Use in vLLM

You can load this model directly in vLLM for efficient inference:

vllm serve "curiousmind147/microsoft-phi-4-AWQ-4bit-GEMM"

Then, test it using cURL:

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/generate" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"prompt": "Explain quantum mechanics in simple terms.", "max_tokens": 100}'

📌 How to Use in Python (transformers + AWQ)

To use this model with Hugging Face Transformers:

from awq import AutoAWQForCausalLM
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

model_path = "curiousmind147/microsoft-phi-4-AWQ-4bit-GEMM"
model = AutoAWQForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_path)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)

inputs = tokenizer("What is the meaning of life?", return_tensors="pt")
output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=100)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

📌 Quantization Details

This model was quantized using AutoAWQ with the following parameters:

• Bits: 4-bit quantization
• Zero-Point Quantization: Enabled (zero_point=True)
• Group Size: 128 (q_group_size=128)
• Quantization Version: GEMM
• Method Used: AutoAWQ

📌 VRAM Requirements

Model Size	FP16 (No Quant)	AWQ 4-bit Quantized
Phi-4 14B	❌ Requires >20GB VRAM	✅ 8GB-12GB VRAM

AWQ significantly reduces VRAM requirements, making it possible to run 14B models on consumer GPUs. 🚀
