<p><a class="reference external" href="https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-180B">Falcon-180B</a>, one of the largest &amp;
most accurate open source models available, can run on a <em>single</em> H200 GPU.</p>
<p>The 141GB of memory on H200, paired with TensorRT-LLM running INT4 AWQ with
FP8, allows for the entire large language model to fit on a single GPU, where
previously eight A100s were required. H200 Falcon-180B provides up to <strong>800</strong>
tok/s and retains high accuracy.</p>
<p><strong>Model Performance:</strong>
H200s large capacity &amp; high memory bandwidth, utilizing INT4 AWQ to reduce
memory footprint, allows for great performance on Falcon-180B on a single GPU.</p>

<p><strong>Model Accuracy:</strong>
Often quantization can have adverse impacts on the accuracy of the model,
however, TensorRT-LLMs AWQ decreases memory footprint of the model by <strong>4x</strong>
while maintaining high accuracy.</p>

<p><a class="reference external" href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.00978"><strong>INT4 Activation-aware Weight Quantization
(AWQ)</strong></a> (Lin et al., 2023) is a quantization
technique which compresses the weights of an LLM down to 4bits based on their
relative importance, and performs computation in FP16. This allows for AWQ to
retain higher accuracy than other 4bit methods and reduce memory usage, but
requires special kernels capable of handling the change in precision
performantly.</p>
<p>TensorRT-LLM has implemented custom kernels for AWQ, and taken the technique a
step further by performing FP8 computation on Hopper GPUs instead of the
standard FP16.</p>

(Ainslie et al., 2023), used in Llama-70B, is a variant of Multihead Attention
(MHA) which groups key-value (KV) heads together, resulting in fewer KV heads
than query (Q) heads. TensorRT-LLM has a custom implementation of MHA which
supports GQA, multi-query attention (MQA) and standard MHA. It leverages Tensor
Cores, including in the generation phase, and delivers great performance on
