Docker Model Runner
How to use RedHatAI/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it-FP8-dynamic with Docker Model Runner:
```
docker model run hf.co/RedHatAI/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it-FP8-dynamic
```

diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it-FP8-dynamic

This model is an FP8 quantized version of google/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it. The model has both weights and activations quantized to FP8 using vllm/llm-compressor and in the compressed-tensors format. It was evaluated on several tasks to assess its quality in comparison to the unquantized model using vLLM.

Deployment

VLLM_USE_V2_MODEL_RUNNER=1
vllm serve  RedHatAI/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it-FP8-dynamic \
    --trust-remote-code \
    --max-num-seqs 4 \
    --hf-overrides '{"diffusion_sampler": "entropy_bound", "diffusion_entropy_bound": 0.1}' \
    --default-chat-template-kwargs '{"enable_thinking": true}'

Creation

"""
Quantize DiffusionGemma model to FP8 using LLM Compressor v0.11.0

Model: google/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it
- Total parameters: ~25.8B
- Expert parameters: 22.8B (88.4%)
- Non-expert parameters: 3.0B (11.6%)

Note: This will require a local update to transformers to support the model definition.
