Intel/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507-int4-mixed-AutoRound

Model Details

This model is a mixed int4 model with group_size 64 and symmetric quantization of Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507 generated by intel/auto-round via RTN (no algorithm tuning). Non expert layers are fall back to 8 bits and group_size 128

Please follow the license of the original model.

How To Use

INT4 Inference on CPU/Intel GPU/CUDA

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "Intel/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507-int4-mixed-AutoRound"

# load the tokenizer and the model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)

# prepare the model input
prompt = "Give me a short introduction to large language model."
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

# conduct text completion
generated_ids = model.generate(
    **model_inputs,
    max_new_tokens=16384
)
output_ids = generated_ids[0][len(model_inputs.input_ids[0]):].tolist()

content = tokenizer.decode(output_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)

print("content:", content)

Generate the model

Here is the sample command to reproduce the model

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from auto_round import AutoRound

model_name = "Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507"

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name,
                                             device_map="cpu", torch_dtype="auto")

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

layer_config = {}
for n, m in model.named_modules():
    if isinstance(m, torch.nn.Linear) and (not "expert" in n or "shared_experts" in n) and n != "lm_head":
        layer_config[n] = {"bits": 8, "group_size": 128}

autoround = AutoRound(model, tokenizer, iters=0, layer_config=layer_config)
autoround.quantize_and_save("./Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507-int4-mixed")

Ethical Considerations and Limitations

The model can produce factually incorrect output, and should not be relied on to produce factually accurate information. Because of the limitations of the pretrained model and the finetuning datasets, it is possible that this model could generate lewd, biased or otherwise offensive outputs.

Therefore, before deploying any applications of the model, developers should perform safety testing.

Caveats and Recommendations

Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model.
