**Note:** To use NVIDIA GPUs, you need to install the [NVIDIA Container Toolkit](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/install-guide.html). We also recommend using NVIDIA drivers with CUDA version 12.2 or higher. For running the Docker container on a machine with no GPUs or CUDA support, it is enough to remove the `--gpus all` flag and add `--disable-custom-kernels`, please note CPU is not the intended platform for this project, so performance might be subpar.
**Note:** TGI supports AMD Instinct MI210 and MI250 GPUs. Details can be found in the [Supported Hardware documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/text-generation-inference/supported_models#supported-hardware). To use AMD GPUs, please use `docker run --device /dev/kfd --device /dev/dri --shm-size 1g -p 8080:80 -v $volume:/data ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:2.4.0-rocm --model-id $model` instead of the command above.

In TGI, you can use 8-bit quantization by adding `--quantize bitsandbytes` like below 👇
```bash
docker run --gpus all --shm-size 1g -p 8080:80 -v$volume:/data ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:2.4.0--model-id$model--quantize bitsandbytes
docker run --gpus all --shm-size 1g -p 8080:80 -v$volume:/data ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:2.4.1--model-id$model--quantize bitsandbytes
```
4-bit quantization is also possible with bitsandbytes. You can choose one of the following 4-bit data types: 4-bit float (`fp4`), or 4-bit `NormalFloat` (`nf4`). These data types were introduced in the context of parameter-efficient fine-tuning, but you can apply them for inference by automatically converting the model weights on load.

In TGI, you can use 4-bit quantization by adding `--quantize bitsandbytes-nf4` or `--quantize bitsandbytes-fp4` like below 👇
```bash
docker run --gpus all --shm-size 1g -p 8080:80 -v$volume:/data ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:2.4.0--model-id$model--quantize bitsandbytes-nf4

You can get more information about 8-bit quantization by reading this [blog post](https://huggingface.co/blog/hf-bitsandbytes-integration), and 4-bit quantization by reading [this blog post](https://huggingface.co/blog/4bit-transformers-bitsandbytes).
TGI allows you to both run an already GPTQ quantized model (see available models [here](https://huggingface.co/models?search=gptq)) or quantize a model of your choice using quantization script. You can run a quantized model by simply passing --quantize like below 👇
```bash
docker run --gpus all --shm-size 1g -p 8080:80 -v$volume:/data ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:2.4.0--model-id$model--quantize gptq
docker run --gpus all --shm-size 1g -p 8080:80 -v$volume:/data ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:2.4.1--model-id$model--quantize gptq
```
Note that TGI's GPTQ implementation doesn't use [AutoGPTQ](https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ) under the hood. However, models quantized using AutoGPTQ or Optimum can still be served by TGI.
To see all possible deploy flags and options, you can use the `--help` flag. It's possible to configure the number of shards, quantization, generation parameters, and more.
