Qwen2.5 VL 7B Instruct Quantized.w4a16

🚀 Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct-quantized-w4a16

This is a quantized version of Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct, offering efficient deployment and enhanced performance.

🚀 Quick Start

This model can be deployed efficiently using the vLLM backend. Here is a basic usage example:

from vllm.assets.image import ImageAsset
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

# prepare model
llm = LLM(
    model="neuralmagic/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct-quantized.w4a16",
    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 for more details.
