# 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](https://huggingface.co/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

```python
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

```bash
pip install weavemuse
```
