Research direction
The request names DeepSpeed-FastGen and TGI but does not identify files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating the DeepSpeed-FastGen inference implementation and reviewing how TGI handles AWQ. Done means AWQ 4-bit quantization is supported and the resulting batch-size limitation is addressed.
