I am currently focusing on AutoGPTQ and recommend using AutoGPTQ instead of GPTQ for Llama.
4 bits quantization of LLaMA using GPTQ
GPTQ is SOTA one-shot weight quantization method
It can be used universally, but it is not the fastest and only supports linux.
Triton only supports Linux, so if you are a Windows user, please use WSL2.
AutoGPTQ-triton, a packaged version of GPTQ with triton, has been integrated into AutoGPTQ.

Quantization requires a large amount of CPU memory. However, the memory required can be reduced by using swap memory.
Depending on the GPUs/drivers, there may be a difference in performance, which decreases as the model size increases.(IST-DASLab/gptq#1)
According to GPTQ paper, As the size of the model increases, the difference in performance between FP16 and GPTQ decreases.

If you don't have conda, install it first.
conda create --name gptq python=3.9 -y
conda activate gptq
conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=11.7 -c pytorch -c nvidia
# Or, if you're having trouble with conda, use pip with python3.9:
# pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio
git clone https://github.com/qwopqwop200/GPTQ-for-LLaMa
cd GPTQ-for-LLaMa
pip install -r requirements.txt

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python llama_inference_offload.py ${MODEL_DIR} --wbits 4 --groupsize 128 --load llama7b-4bit-128g.pt --text "this is llama" --pre_layer 16
It takes about 180 seconds to generate 45 tokens(5->50 tokens) on single RTX3090 based on LLaMa-65B. pre_layer is set to 50.
Basically, 4-bit quantization and 128 groupsize are recommended.
You can also export quantization parameters with toml+numpy format.
