how to load model with fp8 precision for inference?

[imrankh46]

System Info

is it posible to load the model using accelerate library with fp8 inference?
i have H100 gpu accesses.

Information

• [X] The official example scripts
• [X] My own modified scripts

Tasks

• [X] One of the scripts in the examples/ folder of Accelerate or an officially supported no_trainer script in the examples folder of the transformers repo (such as run_no_trainer_glue.py)
• [X] My own task or dataset (give details below)

Reproduction

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "Qwen/Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct"

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

prompt = "Give me a short introduction to large language model."
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are Qwen, created by Alibaba Cloud. You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(
    **model_inputs,
    max_new_tokens=512
)
generated_ids = [
    output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]

response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]

Expected behavior

@muellerzr can i load for inference using fp8 with deepspeed + accelerate?
