Unified Repository Structure Implementation Summary

Overview

This document summarizes the implementation of a unified repository structure where all models (main and quantized) are stored in a single Hugging Face repository with quantized models in subdirectories.

Key Changes Made

1. Repository Structure

Before:

your-username/model-name/ (main model)
your-username/model-name-int8/ (int8 quantized)
your-username/model-name-int4/ (int4 quantized)

After:

your-username/model-name/
├── README.md (unified model card)
├── config.json
├── pytorch_model.bin
├── tokenizer.json
├── int8/ (quantized model for GPU)
│   ├── README.md
│   ├── config.json
│   └── pytorch_model.bin
└── int4/ (quantized model for CPU)
    ├── README.md
    ├── config.json
    └── pytorch_model.bin

2. New Files Created

templates/model_card.md

Technical Implementation Details

Template Processing

# Conditional sections
{{#if quantized_models}}
### Quantized Models
...
{{/if}}

# Variable replacement
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("{{repo_name}}/int8")

Subdirectory Upload Logic

# Determine subdirectory
if quant_type == "int8_weight_only":
    subdir = "int8"
elif quant_type == "int4_weight_only":
    subdir = "int4"

# Upload to subdirectory
repo_path = f"{subdir}/{relative_path}"
upload_file(
    path_or_fileobj=str(file_path),
    path_in_repo=repo_path,
    repo_id=self.repo_name,
    token=self.token
)

Launch Script Integration

# Create quantized models in same repository
python scripts/model_tonic/quantize_model.py /output-checkpoint "$REPO_NAME" \
    --quant-type "$QUANT_TYPE" \
    --device "$DEVICE" \
    --token "$HF_TOKEN"

Benefits of the New Structure

1. Simplified Management

• Single repository for all model versions
• Easier to track and manage
• Reduced repository clutter
• Unified documentation

2. Better User Experience

• Clear loading paths for all versions
• Comprehensive model card with all information
• Consistent URL structure
• Simplified deployment

3. Enhanced Documentation

• Single source of truth for model information
• Conditional sections for different versions
• Comprehensive usage examples
• Better discoverability

4. Improved Workflow

• Streamlined quantization process
• Reduced configuration complexity
• Better integration with existing pipeline
• Enhanced monitoring and tracking

Usage Examples

Loading Models

# Main model
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("your-username/model-name")

# int8 quantized (GPU)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("your-username/model-name/int8")

# int4 quantized (CPU)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("your-username/model-name/int4")

Pipeline Usage

# Run full pipeline with quantization
./launch.sh
# Choose quantization options when prompted
# All models will be in the same repository

Standalone Quantization

# Quantize existing model
python scripts/model_tonic/quantize_standalone.py \
    /path/to/model your-username/model-name \
    --quant-type int8_weight_only
