# Meta Reference Quantized Distribution
```{toctree}
:maxdepth: 2
:hidden:
self
```
The `llamastack/distribution-meta-reference-quantized-gpu` distribution consists of the following provider configurations:
| API | Provider(s) |
|-----|-------------|
| agents | `inline::meta-reference` |
| datasetio | `remote::huggingface`, `inline::localfs` |
| eval | `inline::meta-reference` |
| inference | `inline::meta-reference-quantized` |
| safety | `inline::llama-guard` |
| scoring | `inline::basic`, `inline::llm-as-judge`, `inline::braintrust` |
| telemetry | `inline::meta-reference` |
| tool_runtime | `remote::brave-search`, `remote::tavily-search`, `inline::code-interpreter`, `inline::rag-runtime`, `remote::model-context-protocol` |
| vector_io | `inline::faiss`, `remote::chromadb`, `remote::pgvector` |
The only difference vs. the `meta-reference-gpu` distribution is that it has support for more efficient inference -- with fp8, int4 quantization, etc.
Note that you need access to nvidia GPUs to run this distribution. This distribution is not compatible with CPU-only machines or machines with AMD GPUs.
### Environment Variables
The following environment variables can be configured:
- `LLAMA_STACK_PORT`: Port for the Llama Stack distribution server (default: `5001`)
- `INFERENCE_MODEL`: Inference model loaded into the Meta Reference server (default: `meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct`)
- `INFERENCE_CHECKPOINT_DIR`: Directory containing the Meta Reference model checkpoint (default: `null`)
## Prerequisite: Downloading Models
Please make sure you have llama model checkpoints downloaded in `~/.llama` before proceeding. See [installation guide](https://llama-stack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/references/llama_cli_reference/download_models.html) here to download the models. Run `llama model list` to see the available models to download, and `llama model download` to download the checkpoints.
```
$ ls ~/.llama/checkpoints
Llama3.1-8B Llama3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct Llama3.2-1B-Instruct Llama3.2-90B-Vision-Instruct Llama-Guard-3-8B
Llama3.1-8B-Instruct Llama3.2-1B Llama3.2-3B-Instruct Llama-Guard-3-1B Prompt-Guard-86M
```
## Running the Distribution
You can do this via Conda (build code) or Docker which has a pre-built image.
### Via Docker
This method allows you to get started quickly without having to build the distribution code.
```bash
LLAMA_STACK_PORT=5001
docker run \
-it \
-p $LLAMA_STACK_PORT:$LLAMA_STACK_PORT \
-v ~/.llama:/root/.llama \
llamastack/distribution-meta-reference-quantized-gpu \
--port $LLAMA_STACK_PORT \
--env INFERENCE_MODEL=meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct
```
If you are using Llama Stack Safety / Shield APIs, use:
```bash
docker run \
-it \
-p $LLAMA_STACK_PORT:$LLAMA_STACK_PORT \
-v ~/.llama:/root/.llama \
llamastack/distribution-meta-reference-quantized-gpu \
--port $LLAMA_STACK_PORT \
--env INFERENCE_MODEL=meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct \
--env SAFETY_MODEL=meta-llama/Llama-Guard-3-1B
```
### Via Conda
Make sure you have done `uv pip install llama-stack` and have the Llama Stack CLI available.
```bash
llama stack build --template meta-reference-quantized-gpu --image-type conda
llama stack run distributions/meta-reference-quantized-gpu/run.yaml \
--port $LLAMA_STACK_PORT \
--env INFERENCE_MODEL=meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct
```
If you are using Llama Stack Safety / Shield APIs, use:
```bash
llama stack run distributions/meta-reference-quantized-gpu/run-with-safety.yaml \
--port $LLAMA_STACK_PORT \
--env INFERENCE_MODEL=meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct \
--env SAFETY_MODEL=meta-llama/Llama-Guard-3-1B
```
