Huihui-ThinkingCap-Qwen3.6-27B-abliterated-NVFP4
NVFP4 (W4A4) quantization of huihui-ai/Huihui-ThinkingCap-Qwen3.6-27B-abliterated — Huihui's abliterated (refusal-removed / uncensored) finetune of bottlecapai/ThinkingCap-Qwen3.6-27B, itself a token-efficient reasoning fine-tune of Qwen3.6-27B. Produced with llm-compressor → compressed-tensors, with the native MTP speculative-decode head preserved (bf16) and the Qwen3-VL vision tower preserved (bf16).
Why this pairing is nice. You keep ThinkingCap's short-`` token efficiency (the base cuts reasoning length by ~46 % vs Qwen3.6-27B) and Huihui's abliteration (refusal directions removed), then NVFP4 + the MTP draft cut the cost of every token. Fewer thinking tokens × faster tokens × no refusal detours = a snappy, compliant local reasoner. Abliteration can shift behavior on some prompts — evaluate for your use case.
20.6 GB on disk (down from ~55.6 GB bf16). Serves on stock vLLM 0.21+ — no --quantization flag needed (auto-detected).
Architecture
Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration (model_type qwen3_5), dense 27.4 B:
- Hybrid attention — Gated-DeltaNet (linear) + full-attention layers, hidden 5120, 262 K native context.
- Vision — Qwen3-VL ViT, kept bf16; serve text-only with
--limit-mm-per-prompt. - Native MTP (
mtp_num_hidden_layers=1), kept bf16 → drives vLLM speculative decoding. - Thinking-by-default reasoning model (
…, use--reasoning-parser qwen3) — but a token-efficient, abliterated one.
Quantization recipe
QuantizationModifier(targets="Linear", scheme="NVFP4", # W4A4, group_size 16
ignore=["lm_head", "re:.*visual.*", "re:.*conv1d.*", "re:.*mtp.*"])
- Vision tower, DeltaNet causal
conv1d,lm_head, and the entire MTP head stay bf16; everything else is NVFP4 W4A4. 32 calibration samples (neuralmagic/calibration), seq 8192, pure-CPU load (sequential-pipeline onload). - This model ships the MTP head as a separate
model-base-aux.safetensors(bf16 tensors). Those are grafted into the NVFP4 output (model-mtp-bf16.safetensors) and spliced into the safetensors index. - Note for re-bakers: the grafted MTP modules must also be added to
quantization_config.ignore, otherwise vLLM matchesmtp.*_projagainsttargets=["Linear"], expects NVFP4 scales that do not exist, and loads theQwen3_5MTPdraft as garbage → 0 % spec-decode acceptance. This bake adds them automatically.
Serving (vLLM ≥ 0.21)
vllm serve sakamakismile/Huihui-ThinkingCap-Qwen3.6-27B-abliterated-NVFP4 \
--tensor-parallel-size 4 --max-model-len 131072 \
--max-num-seqs 16 --gpu-memory-utilization 0.90 --kv-cache-dtype fp8 \
--reasoning-parser qwen3 --limit-mm-per-prompt '{"image":0,"video":0}' \
--speculative-config '{"method":"qwen3_5_mtp","num_speculative_tokens":3}'
On NVLink-less boxes add NCCL_P2P_DISABLE=1 + --disable-custom-all-reduce (and NCCL_CUMEM_ENABLE=0 if TP=8 CUDA-graph capture hangs). Drop --speculative-config for plain decode. The hybrid model's KV is light (only the full-attention layers cache), so full 128 K context fits even at TP=2.
- Reasoning model → set
max_tokens≥ 4096 (prefer 8192+). Even though ThinkingCap thinks less, at a tiny budget it can still spend it all inside `` and return empty content. - Do not produce a W4A16 / NVFP4A16 variant — it fails to serve on vLLM (
gptq_marlin_repack: size_n not divisible by tile_n_size=64; the odd attention-head / DeltaNet dims violate Marlin's tile constraint). W4A4 avoids Marlin (NVFP4 cutlass/FlashInfer path). - Sampling: the base recommends
temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=20.
