Recursant Two Sparks — DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (retained EXL3 MCG2 pack)

This repository redistributes the exact retained model pack used by the matched two-Spark serving recipe. It is not a new quantization or a claim of authorship of DeepSeek's model or the upstream EXL3 work.

Attribution and provenance

• Original model: DeepSeek / DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash. Audited upstream repository revision: dba1be0a40aa45a94ad051997016db3960a90277.
• Upstream EXL3 distribution: sfxnz / DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-EXL3. Audited upstream repository revision: 4f93d8d2d5fd86de4be4f28495df587639fa6377.
• These upstream revisions identify the repositories inspected during the provenance audit; they do not assert that downloading either upstream revision reproduces every byte of this retained pack. The authoritative identity of this redistribution is the 53-file SHA-256 manifest in model-manifest.json.
• The original MIT LICENSE, including DeepSeek's copyright notice, is preserved unchanged. Runtime components have their own licenses; this model repository does not change those licenses.

Format and intended use

The pack contains native EXL3 2-bit MCG routed experts, retained non-routed MXFP8 weights (E4M3 data and UE8M0 scales), the vision components, and the DSpark draft components configured for block size K=5. It includes 48 Safetensors shards plus configuration, tokenizer files, index, and license: 53 retained files totaling 358,128,021,424 bytes.

Use the matched serving recipe and its runtime compatibility checks. This is not a generic Transformers from_pretrained compatibility claim, a GGUF pack, or a drop-in checkpoint for arbitrary vLLM releases. The recipe covers the specialized two-Spark runtime and Engram handling. The large Engram shards remain intact; no resharding or new conversion was performed for publication.

Verification and limitations

Pin an immutable commit when downloading and compare every retained file with model-manifest.json. Do not treat a repository that is still receiving its initial upload as complete: all 53 listed files and hashes must match. The manifest excludes this README and itself to avoid a self-hash cycle.

The retained pack has been exercised with its matched text/reasoning and vision serving configuration. This is not a comprehensive quality, safety, context-length, or hardware-portability evaluation. Architectural context limits in config.json are not a promise that those limits fit the reference hardware. Models can hallucinate, produce unsafe or biased content, or misinterpret images; evaluate outputs for the intended use.

Model publication and container-image publication are separate release gates. Refer to the serving repository's current release metadata for image availability; this model card does not claim that a public container image is available.
