# Meta Llama 3.1 8B Instruct ONNX INT4

## Model Developer: Meta 

## Model Description

The Llama 3.1 8B Instruct ONNX INT4 model is the AWQ quantized version of the Meta Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct model, which is an auto-regressive language model that uses an optimized transformer architecture for multilingual dialogue use cases. For more information, please check [here](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct). The Llama 3.1 8B Instruct ONNX INT4 model is quantized with [TensorRT Model Optimizer](https://github.com/NVIDIA/TensorRT-Model-Optimizer). 

This model is ready for commercial and research use case. 

Steps followed to generate this quantized model: 

* 1. Download Meta Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct model in Pytorch bfloat16 format from HuggingFace.  

* 2. Convert PyTorch model to ONNX FP16 using onnxruntime-genai model builder.  

* 3. Quantize Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct ONNX FP16 model to Llama-3.1-8B ONNX INT4 AWQ model using TensorRT Model Optimizer – Windows.   

## Third-Party Community Consideration 
This model is not owned or developed by NVIDIA. This model has been developed and built to a third-party’s requirements for this application and use case; see link to the Non-NVIDIA [Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct Model Card](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct).
