INC4AI/Step-3.5-Flash-int4-AutoRound

Model Details

This model is an int4 model with group_size 128 and symmetric quantization of stepfun-ai/Step-3.5-Flash generated by intel/auto-round. Please follow the license of the original model.

How To Use

INT4 Inference

start a vllm server:

vllm serve INC4AI/Step-3.5-Flash-int4-AutoRound  --dtype half --trust-remote-code \
--host localhost  --port 4321  --served-model-name step3p5-flash --data-parallel-size 4 \
--enable-expert-parallel   --disable-cascade-attn   --reasoning-parser step3p5   \
--enable-auto-tool-choice   --tool-call-parser step3p5   --hf-overrides '{"num_nextn_predict_layers": 1}'

benchmark test:

vllm bench serve   --backend vllm   --model INC4AI/Step-3.5-Flash-int4-AutoRound   --endpoint /v1/completions  \
--served-model-name step3p5-flash   --dataset-name random   --random-input 2048   --random-output 1024   \
--max-concurrency 10   --num-prompt 100  --port 4321

Ethical Considerations and Limitations

The model can produce factually incorrect output, and should not be relied on to produce factually accurate information. Because of the limitations of the pretrained model and the finetuning datasets, it is possible that this model could generate lewd, biased or otherwise offensive outputs. Therefore, before deploying any applications of the model, developers should perform safety testing.

Caveats and Recommendations

Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model. Here are a couple of useful links to learn more about Intel's AI software:
