đ Elastic model: Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3
Fastest and most flexible models for self-serving.
Elastic models are produced by TheStage AI ANNA: Automated Neural Networks Accelerator. ANNA enables you to control model size, latency, and quality with a simple slider movement. For each model, ANNA generates a series of optimized models:
- XL: A mathematically equivalent neural network, optimized with our DNN compiler.
- L: A near lossless model, with less than 1% degradation on corresponding benchmarks.
- M: A faster model, with accuracy degradation less than 1.5%.
- S: The fastest model, with accuracy degradation less than 2%.
Goals of elastic models:
- Provide flexibility in cost vs quality selection for inference.
- Provide clear quality and latency benchmarks.
- Provide an interface to HF libraries (transformers and diffusers) with a single line of code.
- Provide models supported on a wide range of hardware, which are pre - compiled and require no JIT.
- Provide the best models and service for self - hosting.
â ī¸ Important Note
Specific quality degradation can vary from model to model. For example, an S model may have 0.5% degradation.

đ Quick Start
⨠Features
- Flexible Configuration: Control model size, latency, and quality easily.
- Multiple Model Variants: XL, L, M, and S models with different trade - offs between speed and accuracy.
- Simple Integration: Replace
transformers
import with elastic_models.transformers
for inference.
- Broad Hardware Support: Pre - compiled models for various hardware.
đĻ Installation
To work with our models, run the following commands in your terminal:
pip install thestage
pip install elastic_models[nvidia]\
--index-url https://thestage.jfrog.io/artifactory/api/pypi/pypi-thestage-ai-production/simple\
--extra-index-url https://pypi.nvidia.com\
--extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple
pip install flash_attn==2.7.3 --no-build-isolation
pip uninstall apex
Then go to app.thestage.ai, log in, and generate an API token from your profile page. Set up the API token as follows:
thestage config set --api-token <YOUR_API_TOKEN>
đģ Usage Examples
Basic Usage
To infer our models, you just need to replace transformers
import with elastic_models.transformers
:
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from elastic_models.transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
model_name = "mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3"
hf_token = ''
device = torch.device("cuda")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
model_name, token=hf_token
)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_name,
token=hf_token,
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
attn_implementation="sdpa",
mode='S'
).to(device)
model.generation_config.pad_token_id = tokenizer.eos_token_id
prompt = "Describe basics of DNNs quantization."
messages = [
{
"role": "system",
"content": "You are a search bot, answer on user text queries."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": prompt
}
]
chat_prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
messages, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=False
)
inputs = tokenizer(chat_prompt, return_tensors="pt")
inputs.to(device)
with torch.inference_mode():
generate_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=500)
input_len = inputs['input_ids'].shape[1]
generate_ids = generate_ids[:, input_len:]
output = tokenizer.batch_decode(
generate_ids,
skip_special_tokens=True,
clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False
)[0]
print(f"# Q:\n{prompt}\n")
print(f"# A:\n{output}\n")

Benchmarks
Benchmarking is a crucial procedure during model acceleration. We aim to provide clear performance metrics for models using our algorithms. The W8A8, int8
column indicates that we applied W8A8 quantization with int8 data type to all linear layers and used the same calibration data as for ANNA. The S model achieves practically identical speed but much higher quality, as ANNA knows how to improve quantization quality on sensitive layers!
