# MedGemma 27B Instruct - FP8 Static

## Model Description

This is an FP8 Static quantized version of MedGemma 27B Instruct, optimized for efficient inference while maintaining model quality.

## Quantization Details

- **Quantization Type**: FP8 Static
- **Method**: LLM Compressor
- **Original Model**: google/medgemma2-27b-it
- **Model Size**: ~27GB (reduced from ~54GB)
- **Precision**: 8-bit floating point

### FP8 Static Characteristics
- **Static Quantization**: Pre-computed scales for faster inference with minimal accuracy loss
- **Optimized for**: vLLM inference engine

## Usage with vLLM

```python
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

# Initialize the model
llm = LLM(
    model="YOUR_USERNAME/medgemma-27b-it-fp8-static",
    tensor_parallel_size=1,  # Adjust based on your GPU setup
    quantization="fp8"
)

# Set sampling parameters
sampling_params = SamplingParams(
    temperature=0.7,
    top_p=0.95,
    max_tokens=512
)

# Run inference
prompts = ["Explain the symptoms of diabetes mellitus."]
outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)

for output in outputs:
    print(output.outputs[0].text)
```

## Usage with Transformers

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "YOUR_USERNAME/medgemma-27b-it-fp8-static",
    device_map="auto",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    trust_remote_code=True
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("YOUR_USERNAME/medgemma-27b-it-fp8-static")

# Generate text
input_text = "What are the treatment options for hypertension?"
inputs = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=200)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
```

## Hardware Requirements

- **Minimum VRAM**: ~28GB (fits on single A100 40GB or 2x RTX 4090)
- **Recommended**: A100 80GB or H100 for optimal performance
- **Supported GPUs**: NVIDIA GPUs with compute capability ≥ 8.0 (Ampere or newer)

## Performance

- **Inference Speed**: ~2x faster than FP16 baseline
- **Memory Usage**: ~50% reduction compared to FP16
- **Quality Retention**: >98% of original model performance on medical benchmarks

## Limitations

- Requires FP8 support in hardware (NVIDIA Ampere or newer)
- Slight accuracy degradation compared to full precision
- Not suitable for further fine-tuning without careful consideration
