How to load StarCoder2 quantized to 4bits?
Hi folks,I’m trying to play around with the new StarCoder2 model. I got it working with 16bit, but I’m hoping to use this on a machine with only a few GB of memory available, so I’m trying to play with 4bit quantization. I’m just followingthese instructions.However, I get an import error whenever I try to load the model:>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, BitsAndBytesConfig
>>> qc = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_4bit=True)
>>> checkpoint = "bigcode/starcoder2-3b"
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(checkpoint)
>>> model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(checkpoint, quantization_config=qc)
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: Using `bitsandbytes` 8-bit quantization requires Accelerate: `pip install accelerate` and the latest version of bitsandbytes: `pip install -i https://pypi.org/simple/ bitsandbytes`bitsandbytesandaccelerateare both installed, since I used the repo’srequirements.txt. Any idea what could be the issue here?I’m using Ubuntu 22.04 with an AMD Ryzen 5 2400G (no dedicated GPU in this machine, just trying to run on CPU).Thanks for any help you can provide!
