OmniQuant is a simple and powerful quantization technique for LLMs. The current release supports:
- OmniQuant algorithm for accurate weight-only quantization (
W4A16
/W3A16
/W2A16
) and weight-activation quantization (W6A6
,W4A4
) - Pre-trained Omniquant model zoo for LLMs (
LLaMA-1&2
,LLaMA-2-Chat
,OPT
,Falcon
,Mixtral-7Bx8
; load to generate quantized weights). - A out-of-the-box case that leverages MLC-LLM to run LLaMa-2-Chat (7B/13B) with W3A16g128 quantization on GPUs and mobile phones.
- [2024/7] π₯ We release a new quantization algorithm, EfficientQAT, which realizes quantization-aware training in a time-efficient and memory-efficient manner. Additionally, EfficientQAT is the current SoTA of uniform quantization.
- [2024/1] π Our OmniQuant paper has been accepted for a Spotlight presentation at ICLR 2024 (only top 5% out of over 7200 submissions)! π Cheers!
- [2023/12] π₯ We provide support for Mixtral-8x7B. OmniQuant is capable of achieving near-lossless 4-bit quantization with Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1, which reduces the memory requirement from 87GB to 23GB. Notably, the work-in-progress OmniQuant v2 is anticipated to outperform OmniQuant v1. We invite you to stay tuned for the upcoming, more powerful OmniQuant v2. You can access the model URL and the inference code for the quantized models at runing_quantized_mixtral_7bx8.
- [2023/09] π₯ We have expanded support for Falcon. OmniQuant efficiently compresses Falcon-180b from 335G to 65G, with minimal performance loss. Furthermore, this compression allows for Falcon-180b inference on a single A100 80GB GPU. For details, refer to runing_falcon180b_on_single_a100_80g.
conda create -n omniquant python=3.10 -y
conda activate omniquant
git clone https://github.com/OpenGVLab/OmniQuant.git
cd OmniQuant
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -e .
We also leverage the kernel from AutoGPTQ to achieve real quantization. So you should also install the bug-fixed AutoGPTQ as follows::
git clone https://github.com/ChenMnZ/AutoGPTQ-bugfix
pip install -v .
We provide pre-trained Omniquant model zoo for multiple model families, including LLaMa-1&2, LLaMa-2-Chat, OPT.
You can download the pre-trained OmniQuant parameters you need at Huggingface.

We provide full script to run OmniQuant in ./scripts/
. We use LLaMa-7B as an example here:
- Obtain the channel-wise scales and shifts required for initialization:
conda install git git-lfs
git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/ChenMnZ/act_shifts
git clone https://huggingface.co/ChenMnZ/act_scales
Optional, we also offer the script that you can generate channel-wise scales and shifts by yourself:

reproduce evaluation results of our paper
1) download the pretrained OmniQuant parameters you want through Huggingface.
2) set epoch as 0 and inference with resume, take LLaMa-7B with W3A16g128 quantization as an example:
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python main.py \
--model /PATH/TO/LLaMA/llama-7b \
--epochs 0 --output_dir ./log/test \
--eval_ppl --wbits 3 --abits 16 --group_size 128 --lwc \
--resume /PATH/TO/Pretrained/Parameters

MLC-LLM offers a universal deployment solution suitable for various language models across a wide range of hardware backends, encompassing iPhones, Android phones, and GPUs from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel.
We compile the OmniQuant's quantization models through MLC-LLM and offer an out-of-the-box case here. You can see smaller gpu memory usage and inference speedup. Detailed instructions can be found in in runing_quantized_models_with_mlc_llm.ipynb.
Specially, we also deploy the aforementioned two quantized models into mobile phones through MLC-LLM. You can download the Android app by simply clicking the button below:
This app includes three models, LLaMa-2-7B-Chat-Omniquant-W3A16g128asym
, LLaMa-2-13B-Chat-Omniquant-W3A16g128asym
, and LLaMa-2-13B-Chat-Omniquant-W2A16g128asym
. They require at least 4.5G, 7.5G, and 6.0G free RAM, respectively. Note that 2bit quantization has worse performance compared to 3bit quantization as shown in our paper. The inclusion of 2-bit quantization is just an extreme exploration about deploy LLM in mobile phones. Currently, this app is in its demo phase and may experience slower response times, so wait patiently for the generation of response. We have tested this app on Redmi Note 12 Turbo (Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 and 16G RAM), some examples are provided below:
- LLaMa-2-7B-Chat-Omniquant-W3A16g128asym
- LLaMa-2-13B-Chat-Omniquant-W3A16g128asym

We also have tested this app on iPhone 14 Pro (A16 Bionic and 6G RAM), some examples are provided below:
- LLaMa-2-7B-Chat-Omniquant-W3A16g128asym
- OmniQuant achieve SoTA performance in weight-only quantization
- OmniQuant achieve SoTA performance in weight-activation quantization
- OmniQuant is generalize, also obatins excellent performance in instruction-tuned models with GPT-4 evaluation
- MLC-LLM can obtain really speedup and memory saving for W4A16/W3A16/W2A16 quantization
