Qwopus3.8-27B-Flash-NVFP4

Qwopus3.8-27B-Flash NVFP4

A native NVIDIA ModelOpt NVFP4 conversion of Jackrong/Qwopus3.8-27B-Flash, made for NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs.

This conversion uses NVFP4 for the transformer weights while intentionally retaining the language-model head in BF16. The complete vision stack and the model's native MTP speculative head are also preserved in BF16.

The precision map is deliberate: the LM head directly determines next-token logits, so preserving it at BF16 is a quality-first choice for instruction following, structured output, and tool use. This is a fresh conversion from the pinned BF16 source checkpoint, not a requantization of another quantized release.

Parameter count: 27.78B logical model parameters. Hugging Face may display a smaller "Model size" figure for this repository because its automatic scanner counts packed NVFP4 U8 storage elements, rather than unpacked 4-bit weight values. The safetensors index records the full logical parameter count.

Included

• NVFP4 transformer weights in ModelOpt mixed-precision format
• BF16 lm_head
• BF16 visual encoder and projector
• Native MTP / NextN speculative head
• Original tokenizer, processor, generation config, and model configuration

Serving: SGLang + DFlash2

The tested single-GPU path is a current Blackwell-capable SGLang build with FlashInfer, ModelOpt FP4 support, and a matching Qwen3.8 27B DFlash2 NVFP4 draft model. The draft model is required for the DFlash configuration below; do not use an arbitrary Qwen drafter.

This profile is intended for a Blackwell-class GPU with enough memory for the target model, draft model, FP8 KV cache, and runtime overhead. Start at a smaller context or lower --mem-fraction-static on less capable hardware.

For multimodal use, keep the bundled chat_template.jinja so image tokens are rendered correctly. For function calling, use SGLang's Qwen tool parser. The default profile disables thinking for predictable interactive tool use; enable it per request only when your application expects and budgets for reasoning.

OpenCode / OpenWorker agent loops

The bundled chat template produces valid native tool calls; do not replace it to solve an agent that stops after a sentence such as "I will inspect the file." Some OpenCode-derived clients send tool_choice: "auto" for every turn, including a fresh user request that clearly requires a tool. Under auto, the model is allowed to answer with a plan and end the agent loop.

For a reliable unattended coding-agent setup, enforce tool_choice: "required" at the client or a small OpenAI-compatible gateway only when all three are true:

1. the request has at least one tool;
2. tool_choice is absent or "auto";
3. the last message is a new user message.

Leave turns whose last message is a tool result on auto. That lets the model either make the next necessary call or provide its final answer, without forcing an unnecessary tool call after every result.
