Xing4.0-29B-A4B

[!Note] This repository provides W8A8 quantized weights for Xing4.0-29B-A4B, optimized for Ascend NPU devices. W8A8 quantization quantizes both weights and activations to 8-bit integers, reducing memory usage and improving inference efficiency while maintaining model accuracy.

Xing4.0-29B-A4B is a next-generation large language model in the Xing series (formerly TeleChat), developed by China Telecom Artificial Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. With 29B total parameters and only 4B activated per token, it natively supports a 256K context length, extensible to 512K. It is the first model of this scale trained entirely on the Ascend NPU platform with the MindSpore framework, and deeply optimized for complex engineering tasks.

Highlights

• Agent-Oriented Architecture: Built on the mHC + MLA + MTP architecture, supporting multi-step planning, tool calling, and complex reasoning chain execution, ensuring task coherence and execution stability under long contexts.
• Deep Co-optimization with Ascend NPU: Adapted for Ascend 910C clusters using MindSpore/MindFormers, including feature adaptation for mHC and fused operator development, enabling stable and efficient training on the Ascend platform.
• Significant Training Efficiency Gains: Through multi-level co-optimization — including fine-grained MoE communication optimization, selective recomputation, DVM automatic graph-operator fusion, and Ascend C mHC fused operators — overall training throughput was improved by approximately 96% over out-of-the-box performance.
• Full Open-Source Ecosystem Compatibility: Supports LLaMA-Factory and MindFormers for fine-tuning; SGLang, vLLM, and KTransformers for inference and deployment; with targeted adaptation and format alignment for agent frameworks such as OpenCode, Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Hermes, enabling seamless integration into existing workflows.
• Easy Adaptation for Domain-Specific Scenarios: The model is well-suited for downstream task fine-tuning, allowing lightweight customization on proprietary data for vertical domains such as intent classification, table understanding, contract auditing, and knowledge-based QA, enabling rapid domain capability development and deployment at low cost.
