[Feature]: Offline quantization for Pixtral-12B #8566
Description
🚀 The feature, motivation and pitch
In Linux, nvidia driver doesn't provide "shared memory" like windows, which make it impossible to load Pixtral 12B into 3090 or 4090.
And since it looks like we don't have any transformers implementation of pixtral, we can only use vllm codebase to load the model.
Is it possible that vllm provide an option/API to create offline FP8 quantization through vllm model loader?
Alternatives
Although I suggest a new feature like "making offline quantize through vllm library"
If vllm/mistral team can provide offline fp8 ckpt directly it is also good for me.
