Updates the requirements on bitsandbytes to permit the latest version.

Release notes

Sourced from bitsandbytes's releases.

0.49.2

Highlights

  • The default blocksize of 64 for 4bit quantization is now supported on ROCm. Previously the default was 128, which was a mismatch from the default for other devices.
  • ROCm 7.2 build is now included.

What's Changed

New Contributors

Full Changelog: bitsandbytes-foundation/bitsandbytes@0.49.1...0.49.2

Changelog

Sourced from bitsandbytes's changelog.

v0.45.1

Improvements:

  • Compatibility for triton>=3.2.0
  • Moved package configuration to pyproject.toml
  • Build system: initial support for NVIDIA Blackwell B100 GPUs, RTX 50 Blackwell series GPUs and Jetson Thor Blackwell.
    • Note: Binaries built for these platforms are not included in this release. They will be included in future releases upon the availability of the upcoming CUDA Toolkit 12.7 and 12.8.

Bug Fixes:

  • Packaging: wheels will no longer include unit tests. (#1478)

Dependencies:

  • Sets the minimum PyTorch version to 2.0.0.

0.45.0

This is a significant release, bringing support for LLM.int8() to NVIDIA Hopper GPUs such as the H100.

As part of the compatibility enhancements, we've rebuilt much of the LLM.int8() code in order to simplify for future compatibility and maintenance. We no longer use the col32 or architecture-specific tensor layout formats while maintaining backwards compatibility. We additionally bring performance improvements targeted for inference scenarios.

Performance Improvements

This release includes broad performance improvements for a wide variety of inference scenarios. See this X thread for a detailed explanation.

Breaking Changes

🤗PEFT users wishing to merge adapters with 8-bit weights will need to upgrade to peft>=0.14.0.

Packaging Improvements

  • The size of our wheel has been reduced by ~43.5% from 122.4 MB to 69.1 MB! This results in an on-disk size decrease from ~396MB to ~224MB.
  • Binaries built with CUDA Toolkit 12.6.2 are now included in the PyPI distribution.
  • The CUDA 12.5.0 build has been updated to CUDA Toolkit 12.5.1.

Deprecations

  • A number of public API functions have been marked for deprecation and will emit FutureWarning when used. These functions will become unavailable in future releases. This should have minimal impact on most end-users.
  • The k-bit quantization features are deprecated in favor of blockwise quantization. For all optimizers, using block_wise=False is not recommended and support will be removed in a future release.
  • As part of the refactoring process, we've implemented many new 8bit operations. These operations no longer use specialized data layouts.
