            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("QuantTrio/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-AWQ")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("QuantTrio/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-AWQ", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)

How does AWQ work without a calibration dataset?

by ManikandanBalasubrmanian - opened Jun 5

Discussion

Context

You mentioned:

"This repo quantizes the model using data-free quantization tool. (no calibration dataset was involved)"

Question

You state this is a calibration-free approach, but AWQ (Activation-aware Weight Quantization) typically requires calibration data to:

Identify important weights
Understand activation patterns
Perform smoothing before W4A16 quantization

Could you clarify your approach?

Are you using one of the following strategies:

Pattern recognition: Analyzing weight distributions to identify salient weights deterministically?
Activation awareness without calibration: Using some heuristic or model properties (e.g., layer norms, gradients) to approximate activation importance?
Simplified quantization: Performing basic W4A16 quantization without the activation-aware smoothing step?

Or is there another approach I'm missing?
