Deployment optimization strategies for low-provisioned devices include:
- Precision Selection: Use torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16 to reduce the video memory footprint, which reduces the memory requirement by about 50% compared to FP32
- device mapping: Set device_map="auto" to let Transformers automatically load models in layers to balance GPU/CPU resources.
- Dedicated runtime: Use bitnet.cpp (C++ implementation) instead of standard Transformers for better computational efficiency
Installation method:git clone https://github.com/microsoft/BitNet cd BitNet # 按照README编译
- hardware requirement: Minimum 8GB graphics GPU or 16GB system memory required, GGUF quantization format recommended for edge devices
It is worth noting that if the pursuit of extreme inference speed requires a trade-off between model accuracy and response latency, the effect can be adjusted by modifying the generation configuration parameters.
