We are currently experimenting with the 12.8 billion GPT NeoX model using deepspeed inference (init_inference) on an A100 device.
When inferred with the float16 type, the average per-token generation latency was measured at 24ms, whereas with the int8 type, it was measured at 54ms.
Why is the inference speed of a quantized model with int8 slower?
As far as I know, I understand that operation efficiency can increase due to bit reduction. However, is it not the case in reality?
