Arete-27B - Q5_K_M

Q5_K_M GGUF of Nous Research's original BF16 Arete checkpoint. Arete is Nous Research's supervised fine-tune of Qwen3.8-27B. This is an independent Chungulus quantization, not an official Nous or Qwen release.

The original source has 27,356,728,560 total parameters, including its vision encoder. This main text GGUF contains 26,895,998,464 parameters. The full-precision mmproj-Arete-27B-BF16.gguf exported from the same source vision weights is included in every repository. MTP is disabled and absent from the source; it is not exported or synthesized.

Every format was quantized independently from the original BF16 GGUF export. No low-bit checkpoint was requantized, and no calibration dataset or importance matrix was used. All 18 original source shards were fully SHA256-verified before conversion; local tensor headers independently confirmed the complete parameter count. Sampled original BF16 text tensors differ from the pinned parent checkpoint.

Use

Use a recent llama.cpp runtime supporting Qwen3.5/Qwen3.8. The tested build is commit 6414d5b0c9e5895473036c90c2bd305ce4ceccc4 on Apple Silicon. Disable MTP/speculative prediction in frontends that attempt to enable it.

Actual validation and limits

This format passed real native-runtime arithmetic, JSON and factual checks, plus red/blue image-understanding fixtures with opposing central-square/corner-circle colors. Settings: temperature 0, seed 42, 8192 context, at most 128 generated tokens, thinking disabled, 1024 image tokens for vision. The actual GGUF type, every output tensor name/shape and quantized parameter fraction were inspected. See validation.json and quantizatia-manifest.json for exact results, pins, digests and provenance.

These are short functional checks. Political/value-alignment behavior, the creator's evaluation claims, benchmark accuracy, tool use, video and full-context quality were not evaluated. Source training claims and scores are not measured quantized-model results. The full-precision projector was preserved; no claim of unchanged model quality is made.
