Wow, with this quantization method, LLama 70B weighs only 17.5GB!

To create quants of new models, one has to create Hessians for it and it uses several GB of RedPajama to calibrate these. Generating Hessians for Mistral is taking 17 minutes per LAYER on my 3090. I'll see if it can even finish later. Much later. That's over 16 hours just to quantize a 7B model, yikes.

The paper for this is one of the worst for me in years, full on "I know some of these words." I didn't think 8-dimensional sphere packing was going to be in my attempted light reading for the night.

P..S.: Rollback to transformers 4.34.0 or edit the code in hessian_offline_llama.py and change all instances of

attention_mask = model.model._prepare_decoder_attention_mask(

to

attention_mask = _prepare_4d_causal_attention_mask(

and add an import to the top of the same file.

from transformers.modeling_attn_mask_utils import _prepare_4d_causal_attention_mask
