Qwen3.8-27B GPTQ-INT8

This repository is a quantized deployment variant of the official Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B model. It is not a fine-tune.

Calibration and architecture handling

The calibration corpus is original CC0-1.0 material authored for this project. It contains 216 text/tool samples and 8 vision samples across prose, code, debugging, math, science, structured output, tools, multilingual, and long-context categories. This build used calibration/core.jsonl:128.

• Tensor exclusions: ["*.input_layernorm", "*.post_attention_layernorm", "*.self_attn.q_norm", "*.self_attn.k_norm", "*.linear_attn.norm", "*.linear_attn.conv1d", "*.linear_attn.in_proj_a", "*.linear_attn.in_proj_b"]
• Vision: True (deterministic image generation gate)
• Tool use: True (schema-valid XML tool-call gate)
• MTP: True for preservation of the 15 external tensors; no local speculative drafter/acceptance runtime is claimed.
• Processor/chat template: exact pinned-parent copy verified.

Numerical validation

Full-vocabulary held-out comparison used 512 token positions.

Performance smoke

• Execution mode: RTX 4070 + CPU offload/auto map
• Device map summary: {"cpu": 59, "cuda:0": 9}
• Prompt/decode: 512 / 8 tokens
• Median TTFT: 64.6320 s
• Median prefill: 7.686 tok/s
• Median decode: 0.037 tok/s
• Cold/warm load: 256.326 / 316.911 s
• Peak physical device memory: 11.695 GiB
• PyTorch logical allocator peak (diagnostic, may exceed physical VRAM under WSL): 15.640 GiB
• Peak build RAM / VRAM: 29.313 / 10.274 GiB

Limitations

The RTX 4070 validation may use CPU offload and is not a pure-GPU throughput claim unless the performance mode explicitly says so. Preserved MTP weights do not establish speculative decoding support. Compatibility and quality are established only for the exact revision and runtime above. Machine-readable structural, generation, vision, tools, numerical, and performance reports are stored under validation/ in this repository. Remote verification evidence is retained by the build worker and tied to the exact repository revision.
