Chunky — Bitext Chunk Alignment Model (NVFP4A16)

NVFP4A16-quantized version of p4b/qwen3-4b-chunky.

• Weights: FP4 E2M1 (4-bit float), group_size=16, scale in fp8_e4m3fn
• Activations: bfloat16 (unquantized)
• lm_head: unquantized
• Size: ~2.7 GB (vs 7.6 GB bf16)
• Quantization: llm-compressor 0.10.0.1, NVFP4A16 preset (data-free)
• Format: nvfp4-pack-quantized (compressed-tensors 0.14.0.1)

Hardware Requirement

Requires NVIDIA Blackwell GPU (sm_12x, RTX 50 series) for native FP4 execution via vLLM.

Usage with vLLM

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

llm = LLM(
    model="p4b/qwen3-4b-chunky-nvfp4",
    quantization="compressed-tensors",
    dtype="bfloat16",
)

sampling_params = SamplingParams(max_tokens=256, temperature=0.0)
outputs = llm.generate(["your prompt here"], sampling_params)
print(outputs[0].outputs[0].text)

Quality vs bf16

Evaluated on 300 held-out samples (same seed, same split as bf16 baseline). No meaningful quality degradation.

64% size reduction with no accuracy loss.

Note: vLLM 0.15.1 falls back to the Marlin kernel on non-Blackwell GPUs. Native FP4 CUDA kernels require sm_12x (RTX 50 series).
