 "title": "Generate text with a quantized Qwen3 base model",
 "page_title": "How to generate text with a quantized Qwen3 base model with Prism Quant",
 "summary": "Run the smallest released Prism Quant checkpoint locally for base-model text completion.",
 "who": "A developer who wants to see how a Prism Quant INT4 base model behaves before adopting it in a project.",
 "problem": "Reading about grouped INT4 quantization does not show how a quantized checkpoint actually generates text.",
 "outcome": "A working local install that loads qwen3_0.6b_base and returns a short text completion from the command line or Python.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ForeverBlue816/PrismQuant.git` and then `cd PrismQuant`.",
  "Run `pip install -e .` inside the repo folder.",
  "Run `prismquant models` to list the released model names.",
  "Run `prismquant generate --model qwen3_0.6b_base --prompt \"The key idea behind quantization is\" --max-new-tokens 64`. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Confirm the output is a plain continuation of the prompt, not a chat reply, since these are base-model completions."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Clone https://github.com/ForeverBlue816/PrismQuant, install it with pip install -e ., and run prismquant generate --model qwen3_0.6b_base with a prompt of your choice and --max-new-tokens 64. Report the generated text and confirm it is a base-model completion rather than a chat-style answer.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "1 hour",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The reference runtime simulates activation and KV quantization in floating-point storage, so it is not a packed INT4 serving engine and its speed should not be read as deployment throughput.",

  "Python 3.10 or newer",
  "A PyTorch installation that matches your CUDA version",
