s-batman/Nex-N2-mini-GGUF

GGUF quantizations of Nex-N2-mini by Nex AGI — an agentic multimodal model with Agentic Thinking, post-trained on Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-Base. Includes standard integer quants (Q4_K_S through Q8_0) and an NVFP4 mixed-precision variant optimised for NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs.

Note: The mmproj file is required for multimodal (vision) capabilities. For text-only use, it is not needed.

NVFP4 Mixed-Precision Details

The NVFP4 variant uses architecture-aware tensor mapping:

Base quant type: Q8_0 — ensures router, SSM, shared expert, and attention tensors maintain high quality while only the expert weights use NVFP4.

Conversion Notes

• Converted with --no-mtp — the source model does not include Multi-Token Prediction weights despite mtp_num_hidden_layers: 1 in config. Speculative decoding with --spec-type draft-mtp is not supported for this model.
• All quants produced from F16 GGUF using llama-quantize (standard quantization, no imatrix).
• The hybrid DeltaNet + Full Attention architecture is fully supported in llama.cpp builds with qwen3_5_moe architecture support.

Usage with llama.cpp

Requirements

• llama.cpp build with Qwen3_5MoeForConditionalGeneration architecture support
• For NVFP4: build 8967+ with -DGGML_CUDA=ON -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=121 (Blackwell)
• For vision: build with multimodal support (llama-mtmd-cli)

About Nex-N2

Nex-N2 is an agentic model built for real-world productivity scenarios. It unifies reasoning, tool use, and environment execution through an Agentic Thinking framework:

• Adaptive Thinking — the model decides when to think and how deeply, executing simple actions quickly while reasoning thoroughly on critical decisions
• Coherent Thinking — one consistent reasoning paradigm across general reasoning and diverse agentic tasks

Nex-N2-mini reaches first-tier performance on agentic coding, deep research, tool calling, and terminal execution benchmarks, with substantial gains over the previous-generation Nex-N1.

Important Notes

• Unified memory: On DGX Spark and similar unified memory architectures, --no-mmap is recommended to avoid severe slowdowns
• mmproj required for vision: The mmproj-Nex-N2-mini-F16.gguf file must be loaded with --mmproj for image/vision input
• NVFP4 is Blackwell-only: The NVFP4 quantization requires NVIDIA Blackwell GPU hardware (RTX 5090, RTX PRO 6000, DGX Spark/GB10, B200, etc.)
• DeltaNet layers: This model uses hybrid Gated DeltaNet + Full Attention. Ensure your llama.cpp build supports the qwen3_5_moe architecture
• No MTP: The source model does not include Multi-Token Prediction weights. Do not use --spec-type draft-mtp with this model
