          - awq:              4 bit quantization. Requires a specific AWQ quantized model: https://hf.co/models?search=awq. Should replace GPTQ models wherever possible because of the better latency
          - eetq:             8 bit quantization, doesn't require specific model. Should be a drop-in replacement to bitsandbytes with much better performance. Kernels are from https://github.com/NetEase-FuXi/EETQ.git
          - gptq:             4 bit quantization. Requires a specific GTPQ quantized model: https://hf.co/models?search=gptq. text-generation-inference will use exllama (faster) kernels wherever possible, and use triton kernel (wider support) when it's not. AWQ has faster kernels
66
67
68
          - bitsandbytes:     Bitsandbytes 8bit. Can be applied on any model, will cut the memory requirement in half, but it is known that the model will be much slower to run than the native f16
          - bitsandbytes-nf4: Bitsandbytes 4bit. Can be applied on any model, will cut the memory requirement by 4x, but it is known that the model will be much slower to run than the native f16
          - bitsandbytes-fp4: Bitsandbytes 4bit. nf4 should be preferred in most cases but maybe this one has better perplexity performance for you model

          This is the maximum allowed value for clients to set `stop_sequences`. Stop sequences are used to allow the model to stop on more than just the EOS token, and enable more complex "prompting" where users can preprompt the model in a specific way and define their "own" stop token aligned with their prompt

          This is the maximum allowed value for clients to set `top_n_tokens`. `top_n_tokens is used to return information about the the `n` most likely tokens at each generation step, instead of just the sampled token. This information can be used for downstream tasks like for classification or ranking

135
      --max-input-length <MAX_INPUT_LENGTH>
136
          This is the maximum allowed input length (expressed in number of tokens) for users. The larger this value, the longer prompt users can send which can impact the overall memory required to handle the load. Please note that some models have a finite range of sequence they can handle

## MAX_TOTAL_TOKENS
```shell

144
      --max-total-tokens <MAX_TOTAL_TOKENS>
145
          This is the most important value to set as it defines the "memory budget" of running clients requests. Clients will send input sequences and ask to generate `max_new_tokens` on top. with a value of `1512` users can send either a prompt of `1000` and ask for `512` new tokens, or send a prompt of `1` and ask for `1511` max_new_tokens. The larger this value, the larger amount each request will be in your RAM and the less effective batching can be

      --waiting-served-ratio <WAITING_SERVED_RATIO>
          This represents the ratio of waiting queries vs running queries where you want to start considering pausing the running queries to include the waiting ones into the same batch. `waiting_served_ratio=1.2` Means when 12 queries are waiting and there's only 10 queries left in the current batch we check if we can fit those 12 waiting queries into the batching strategy, and if yes, then batching happens delaying the 10 running queries by a `prefill` run.
          
          This setting is only applied if there is room in the batch as defined by `max_batch_total_tokens`.

          Limits the number of tokens for the prefill operation. Since this operation take the most memory and is compute bound, it is interesting to limit the number of requests that can be sent

      --max-batch-total-tokens <MAX_BATCH_TOTAL_TOKENS>
          **IMPORTANT** This is one critical control to allow maximum usage of the available hardware.
          
          This represents the total amount of potential tokens within a batch. When using padding (not recommended) this would be equivalent of `batch_size` * `max_total_tokens`.
          
          However in the non-padded (flash attention) version this can be much finer.
          
          For `max_batch_total_tokens=1000`, you could fit `10` queries of `total_tokens=100` or a single query of `1000` tokens.
          
          Overall this number should be the largest possible amount that fits the remaining memory (after the model is loaded). Since the actual memory overhead depends on other parameters like if you're using quantization, flash attention or the model implementation, text-generation-inference cannot infer this number automatically.

      --max-waiting-tokens <MAX_WAITING_TOKENS>
          This setting defines how many tokens can be passed before forcing the waiting queries to be put on the batch (if the size of the batch allows for it). New queries require 1 `prefill` forward, which is different from `decode` and therefore you need to pause the running batch in order to run `prefill` to create the correct values for the waiting queries to be able to join the batch.
          
          With a value too small, queries will always "steal" the compute to run `prefill` and running queries will be delayed by a lot.
          
          With a value too big, waiting queries could wait for a very long time before being allowed a slot in the running batch. If your server is busy that means that requests that could run in ~2s on an empty server could end up running in ~20s because the query had to wait for 18s.
          
          This number is expressed in number of tokens to make it a bit more "model" agnostic, but what should really matter is the overall latency for end users.
