DeepSeek-V4-Flash-TQ-Q3.4-MLX
lemuralabs/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-TQ-Q3.4-MLX is an Apple-Silicon MLX TurboQuant/JANGTQ quantization of deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash.
No fine-tuning, distillation, or retraining was applied. The official mixed FP4/FP8 source weights were converted locally, the MTP head was dropped because it is not used for normal decode, and router/mHC/control tensors were preserved rather than aggressively quantized.

Required Sidecar
This is a JANGTQ/TurboQuant bundle and requires jangtq_runtime.safetensors from this repository. The sidecar stores the deterministic codebooks and Hadamard rotation signs used to decode the .tq_packed expert weights. If it is missing, re-download the full repository or fetch that file explicitly:
hf download lemuralabs/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-TQ-Q3.4-MLX jangtq_runtime.safetensors --local-dir <your-model-dir>
Quantization Recipe
| Tensor class | Codec | Bits / handling |
|---|---|---|
| Routed experts | TurboQuant MXTQ | 39 routed layer/projection groups at 2-bit MXTQ and 90 at 4-bit MXTQ |
| Routed effective bits | MXTQ | 3.3953 bits |
| Attention, shared experts, compressor, indexer, embed, lm head | MLX affine | 8-bit, group size 32 |
| Norms, router, mHC, sinks, integer routing tables | passthrough | source precision preserved |
The fractional target is implemented as a power-of-two lane mix because the current JANGTQ vectorized packer is stable on 2/4/8-bit lanes for DeepSeek-V4 expert dimensions.
Use
Install the JANG loader/runtime and MLX LM:
pip install mlx-lm jang-tools
Example:
from jang_tools.load_jangtq import load_jangtq_model
from mlx_lm import generate
model, tokenizer = load_jangtq_model("lemuralabs/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-TQ-Q3.4-MLX")
prompt = "Write a short note about MLX quantization."
text = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, verbose=True)
print(text)

Notes
This upload follows the same broad model-card shape as the public OsaurusAI/JANGQ DeepSeek-V4-Flash JANGTQ uploads: a sidecar warning, an explicit recipe table, and minimal reproducible loading instructions.
