Jev_Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4-FP8

Jev_Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4-FP8

NVFP4 + FP8 mixed-precision quantization of SargeDev/Jev_Qwen3.8-27B (itself a QLoRA merge of huihui-ai/Huihui-Qwen3.8-27B-abliterated trained on SargeDev/jev-distill-corpus-v3).

Quant recipe (non-uniform)

• Tool: llm-compressor 0.14.0 (vllm-project), QuantizationModifier mixed config groups
• NVFP4 W4A4 (E2M1, block 16, FP8-E4M3 scales): all attention projections + gate/up_proj
• FP8_DYNAMIC (per-channel weights, per-token activations): all down_proj — the layer class most sensitive to 4-bit
• Ignored (kept high-precision): lm_head, embed_tokens, MTP head
• Format: compressed-tensors mixed-precision (nvfp4-pack-quantized + float-quantized)
• 28 GB total (vs 51 GB bf16) — loads in vLLM with --quantization compressed-tensors

Calibration (domain-matched)

512 samples, 2048 max seq: 384 held-out jev-distill judge prompts in the exact eval-time format (state + question + options), plus 128 ultrachat_200k general-chat rows to keep broad-language calibration honest. Calibrating on the deployment domain, not generic text.

Verified on DGX Spark (GB10)

• vLLM 0.28-era serving stack, --quantization compressed-tensors, GB10 sm_121a
• Structured judge outputs correct post-quant: calibrated JSON distributions intact
• ~8 tok/s single-stream long-form generation (200+ token completions), judge-style JSON answers land in 2-5 s
• Chatty persona intact (identifies as Qwen; no behavioral regression observed)
