# RedHatAI/Kimi-K3-FP8-BLOCK

This is a variant of `moonshotai/Kimi-K3` quantized with FP8_BLOCK quantization applied to MLP and experts layers. Attention layers were not quantized due to shape mismatches, namely with `self_attn.b_proj.weight`

## Usage ##
```bash
docker run --gpus all \
  --privileged --ipc=host -p 8000:8000 \
  -v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
  -e GLOO_SOCKET_IFNAME=$IFACE_NAME \
  -e NCCL_SOCKET_IFNAME=$IFACE_NAME \
  -e VLLM_ENABLE_K3_LATENT_MOE_TAIL_FUSION=1 \
  vllm/vllm-openai:kimi-k3 RedHatAI/Kimi-K3-FP8-BLOCK \
  --trust-remote-code \
  --load-format fastsafetensors \
  --gpu-memory-utilization 0.95 \
  --tensor-parallel-size 16 \
  --nnodes 2 \
  --node-rank 0 \
  --master-addr $HEAD_IP \
  --no-enable-flashinfer-autotune \
  --disable-custom-all-reduce \
  --enable-auto-tool-choice \
  --tool-call-parser kimi_k3 \
  --reasoning-parser kimi_k3
```

## Creation Process

Quantized using [llm-compressor](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor):

```python
from compressed_tensors.entrypoints.convert import CompressedTensorsDequantizer

from llmcompressor import model_free_ptq

MODEL_ID = "moonshotai/Kimi-K3"
SAVE_DIR = MODEL_ID.rstrip("/").split("/")[-1] + "-FP8-BLOCK"

ignore = [
    "re:.*embed_tokens.*",
    "re:.*self_attn.*",  # no attention because (q_proj|k_proj|v_proj|b_proj|f_a_proj) are all fused, and `b_proj` has a weight non-divisible by 128
    "re:.*block_sparse_moe\.gate.*",
    "re:.*self_attention_res_proj.*",
    "re:.*mlp_res_proj.*",
    "re:.*output_attn_res_proj.*",
    "re:.*lm_head.*",
    "re:.*vision_tower.*",
    "re:.*mm_projector.*",
]

model_free_ptq(
    model_stub=MODEL_ID,
    save_directory=SAVE_DIR,
    scheme="FP8_BLOCK",
    ignore=ignore,
    converter=CompressedTensorsDequantizer(
        MODEL_ID,
        ignore=ignore,
    ),
    max_workers=7,
    device=[
        f"cuda:{i}"
        for i in range(7)
    ],
)
