Who it is forA developer who wants to see how a Prism Quant INT4 base model behaves before adopting it in a project.
The problemReading about grouped INT4 quantization does not show how a quantized checkpoint actually generates text.
The outcomeA working local install that loads qwen3_0.6b_base and returns a short text completion from the command line or Python.
What you need first
- Python 3.10 or newer
- A PyTorch installation that matches your CUDA version
- Internet access to clone the repo and download Hugging Face checkpoints
- Enough GPU or system memory for the chosen model size (see docs/models.md)
Steps
- Run
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ForeverBlue816/PrismQuant.gitand thencd PrismQuant. - Run
pip install -e .inside the repo folder. - Run
prismquant modelsto 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.
Prompt for your agent
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.
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.
