[Usage]: Loading a model with bitsandbytes quantization with 8bit

[IkhlasAlhussien]

How can I load a model using bitsandbytes quantization in 8-bit format? I'm currently loading the model with the following code:

model_id = "path/to/model"
llm = LLM(model=model_id, dtype=torch.bfloat16, trust_remote_code=True, \
quantization="bitsandbytes", load_format="bitsandbytes")

This loads the model in 4-bit format, but I can't figure out how to load it in 8-bit. What should I change to load the model in 8-bit instead?
