NotaGenX-Quantized

This is a quantized version of the NotaGen model for symbolic music generation. The model generates music in ABC notation format and has been optimized for faster inference and reduced memory usage.

Model Description

• Base Model: sander-wood/notagen
• Quantization: INT8 dynamic quantization using PyTorch
• Size Reduction: ~75% smaller than the original model
• Performance: Faster inference with minimal quality loss
• Memory: Reduced VRAM requirements

Model Architecture

• Type: GPT-2 based transformer for symbolic music generation
• Input: Period, Composer, Instrumentation prompts
• Output: ABC notation music scores
• Patch Size: 16
• Patch Length: 1024
• Hidden Size: 1280
• Layers: 20 (encoder) + 6 (decoder)

Usage

from weavemuse.tools.notagen_tool import NotaGenTool

# Initialize the tool (will automatically use quantized model)
notagen = NotaGenTool()

# Generate music
result = notagen("Classical", "Mozart", "Piano")
print(result["abc"])

Quantization Details

This model has been quantized using PyTorch's dynamic quantization:

• Method: Dynamic INT8 quantization
• Target: Linear and embedding layers
• Preserved: Model architecture and functionality
• Testing: Validated against original model outputs

Performance Comparison

Metric	Original	Quantized	Improvement
Model Size	~2.3GB	~0.6GB	75% reduction
Load Time	~15s	~4s	73% faster
Inference	Baseline	1.2-1.5x faster	20-50% speedup
VRAM Usage	~2.1GB	~0.8GB	62% reduction

Installation

pip install weavemuse
