SmallThinker-21B-A3B-Instruct-QAT training details?
hi! would love to know more about this QAT model! Any plans to release it in a conversion-friendly format? Thanks!
Sure! The QAT model was obtained by further training the model using a pseudo-quantization approach with the GGUF Q4_0 format. I'll upload the QAT model in the Transformers format later.
@yixinsong Thanks, is it like per-block int4 weight quantization like gemma3
or is it something like SpinQuant which can focus on quantizing activations too? The reason why I'm curious is it seems like sometimes llama.cpp can run Q4_0 with quantized 8bit activations underneath, Q4_0_4_8(int8mm) orQ4_0_8_8` (SVE).
Sometimes people try their imatrix (a.k.a. "Activation aWare Quantization") or something similar, so it's great you can release transformers.
