Quantization
- Weights: NVFP4 (FP4, group size 16, FP8E4M3 scales), via
llmcompressor QuantizationModifier (moe_calibrate_all_experts=True)
- Calibration: 256 samples from
open-perfectblend, max sequence length 4096
- Ignored:
lm_head, visual, mlp.gate (router), embed_tokens,
shared_expert_gate, linear_attn
- Saliency report calibrated over 1024
open-perfectblend samples
(REAPPruningModifier(sparsity=0.0), report-only mode)
- 10% of experts pruned globally (non-uniform,
metric=layerwise_saliency):
the 1024 lowest-scoring experts across all layers are removed, so layers
retain different expert counts (recorded per-layer in
quantization_config.moe_sparsity_config.num_experts)
- 9216 of 10240 experts retained (40 layers x 256 experts -> 90%)
Use
This checkpoint is intended for inference with vLLM (compressed-tensors
nvfp4-pack-quantized format with non-uniform MoE sparsity).
