Qwen3.8-Flash-Next โ€” GGUF (day-0 conversion)

GGUF conversion of Qwen/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-FP8 (125B MoE + 51B n-gram embeddings, 6B active, Qwen4 architecture preview) for llama.cpp.

Converted on day 0 on a DGX Spark, before quants were available anywhere โ€” by now several groups ship Flash-Next GGUFs (unsloth and others), so pick what fits your box. This one is built for a single 128 GB Spark-class machine, and the FP8 converter fixes it needed are documented below.

File Size What
Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-IQ4XS-NGQ5-*.gguf (3 shards) 98 GB IQ4_XS weights + 51B n-gram table at Q5_0 (custom streaming requant). Fits and runs on a single DGX Spark / GX10 โ€” 34 tok/s measured. Point llama.cpp at the first shard.
(Q8_0 master, 176 GB โ€” upload follows after multi-box testing)

About the n-gram table: llama-quantize cannot process the single 51B-parameter tensor (dequantizing it needs ~204 GB RAM, and its 160-wide rows make k-quants impossible). This build uses a custom chunked streaming requantizer to bring it to Q5_0 โ€” tool + full walkthrough: marknx/flash-next-gguf-tools. The table is lookup-only, so it tolerates this well (all gates below passed).

Requirements

  • llama.cpp with Qwen4-Exp support: PR #27742 (not yet in a release)
  • Full recipe, converter fixes and the streaming requantizer: marknx/flash-next-gguf-tools
  • Tight on memory? The tools repo also has a two-box recipe (DGX Spark + RTX 5090 over 10 GbE RPC) that frees ~25 GB on the main box โ€” that's the setup the eval numbers below were measured on.

How this was made

python convert_hf_to_gguf.py Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-FP8 --outtype q8_0 --fp8-as-q8
llama-quantize --allow-requantize --tensor-type "per_layer_token_embd=q8_0" q8.gguf iq4xs.gguf iq4_xs

Honest caveats

  • Requantized from the official FP8 checkpoint (not BF16), without imatrix. Good enough to run day 0; expect refined quants (imatrix, tuned mixes) from the usual sources soon.
  • Gates run before upload: loads clean on a DGX Spark, coherent German/English output, 47*83 correct, JSON-schema output valid, needle retrieval clean. ~34 tok/s single stream, prefill ~550 tok/s.
  • Full evals on this exact quant: HumanEval 97.0 % (159/164) ยท GSM8K 96.0 % (192/200, no empty answers). Run day 0 via llama.cpp server, greedy-ish defaults.
  • New architecture: expect llama.cpp PR updates; rebuild when #27742 moves.

Measured and documented at argyelan.ai. Numbers, warts and all.
