What is represented
- Three production-shape target transformer/MoE blocks (
layers.0 through
layers.2). Three is the minimum compact layout that retains the first real
sparse MLA compressor/indexer layer.
- All three production-shape DSpark/MTP draft stages (
mtp.0 through mtp.2).
- Production MoE dimensions: hidden size 4096, expert intermediate size 2048,
256 routed experts, top-k 6.
- ModelOpt NVFP4 routed target experts with group size 16. Attention, shared
experts, and MTP retain the source mixed-precision schemas.
hidden_act="silu" and swiglu_limit=10.0.
- DSpark configuration: target layers
[0, 1, 2], Markov rank 256, block size
5, and three draft stages.
- Sparse-attention compression ratios
[0, 0, 4, 0, 0, 0]; layer 2 includes
the real compressor and Lightning Indexer tensor layouts.
The checkpoint contains 14,025 tensors and 24,313,583,928 bytes of tensor data
(22.65 GiB).
Schema validation
The generator pins
sakamakismile/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-Abliterated-NVFP4
at revision 4b15c44c31f8dacdf7b0c2fa42e20d03c5f5859b for the DSpark-inclusive
schema. Header-only validation showed:
- all 14,025 local tensor names, shapes, and dtypes exactly match the selected
source target and MTP tensors;
- the 9,320 non-MTP tensors also exactly match
nvidia/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-NVFP4
revision e3cd60e7de98e9867116860d522499a728de1cf9 for global tensors and target
layers 0–2;
- layer 2 contains 8 compressor tensors and 7 indexer tensors;
- MTP stage tensor counts are 1,568, 1,565, and 1,572.
tensor_manifest.json records every expected header, and
generate_shape_mock.py reproduces the fixture.
GB10 / vLLM nightly validation
Test host: NVIDIA GB10, compute capability 12.1. The cached
vllm/vllm-openai:nightly image was started with:
--moe-backend flashinfer_b12x
--linear-backend cutlass
--kv-cache-dtype fp8
--speculative-config '{"method":"dspark","num_speculative_tokens":5,"draft_sample_method":"probabilistic"}'
The unmodified nightly correctly reproduced its current integration guard:
Model sets swiglu_limit=10.0, but the explicitly requested
moe_backend='flashinfer_b12x' does not apply the SwiGLU clamp.
With a clamp-capable FlashInfer B12X checkout mounted and the stale vLLM
capability guard bypassed only inside the disposable test container, vLLM:
- selected
FLASHINFER_B12X for the target NVFP4 experts;
- initialized the FP8 Lightning Indexer cache;
- loaded all eight checkpoint shards;
- loaded the DSpark draft model (
DSpark draft model loaded: 96 params).
The stock nightly did not complete a forward pass on GB10 because its MHC
DeepGEMM path later failed with Unsupported architecture, before reaching the
MoE forward. That limitation is independent of this checkpoint's B12X clamp
schema and is recorded here to avoid overstating end-to-end validation.
Intended use
Use this checkpoint to reproduce loader selection, tensor remapping, memory
planning, and kernel integration behavior. Since the weights are random, any
generated tokens are meaningless even when a runtime completes inference.
