Calibration Dataset

This model was built with mistralai Mixtral model by applying AMD-Quark for MXFP4 quantization. The calibration dataset consists of 1024 mixed datasets provided by mlcommons/inference, which includes:

• 325 GSM8k samples
• 325 MBXP samples
• 374 OpenOcra samples

Quantized Tensors

The following tensors are quantized in each decoder:

• Expert MLP Inputs and Weights (excluding the router)
• Linear qkv Inputs and Weight
• KV Cache Entries

Ignored Layers

The following layers are ignored during quantization:

• *.gate
• *.o_proj
• lm_head

Algorithms

AutoSmoothQuant algorithm is applied in weight-activation quantization for better performance.
