# dystrio/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3-sculpt-production

> **17% smaller, +15% faster prefill, drop-in replacement. No custom kernels. No runtime changes.**

Dystrio Sculpt structurally compresses transformer models, producing dense models that load with standard `transformers` — no custom code, no new ops, no deployment friction.

This is the **Production** tier of [Mistral 7B Instruct v0.3](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3).

## Quick Start

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("dystrio/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3-sculpt-production", torch_dtype="bfloat16", device_map="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("dystrio/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3-sculpt-production")

inputs = tokenizer("The future of AI inference is", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=100)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

## What is Dystrio Sculpt?

Dystrio Sculpt compiles transformer models into smaller, faster variants. Output models:

- Are **dense** (not sparse) — standard architecture, fewer parameters
- Load with **standard HuggingFace Transformers** — no custom code needed
- Require **no custom kernels** and **no runtime changes**
- Work as a one-step compile before deployment
- Stack with quantization (AWQ, GPTQ, GGUF) for compound savings

## Compatibility

- ✅ HuggingFace Transformers
- ✅ vLLM
- ✅ TGI (Text Generation Inference)
- ✅ llama.cpp / GGUF conversion
- ✅ AWQ / GPTQ quantization
- ✅ Any framework that loads standard safetensors

## Benchmark Environment

- **GPU**: NVIDIA A100-SXM4-80GB
- **dtype**: bf16
- **Torch**: 2.10.0+cu128
- **Transformers**: 5.3.0
- **Deterministic**: True
- Single-GPU, standard HuggingFace Transformers, no custom kernels.

## Metric Definitions

- **PPL ratio**: WikiText-103 perplexity relative to baseline. <1.0 = quality improved.
- **Prefill TPS**: Tokens per second during prompt encoding (higher = faster).
- **TTFT p95**: Time to first token at 95th percentile (lower = faster).
- **Decode TPS**: Tokens per second during generation (higher = faster).
- **Weights (GB)**: Model parameter memory (deterministic, runtime-independent).
