Libraries

How to use compute1/Qwen3.8-27B-W8A8-INT8 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="compute1/Qwen3.8-27B-W8A8-INT8")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("compute1/Qwen3.8-27B-W8A8-INT8")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("compute1/Qwen3.8-27B-W8A8-INT8", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Qwen3.8-27B W8A8 INT8 (compressed-tensors)

Quantized from Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B using llm-compressor.

Quantization Config

Format: int-quantized (compressed-tensors)
Weights: INT8, channel-wise, symmetric, MSE observer
Activations: INT8, token-wise, symmetric, dynamic
Ignored: lm_head, embeddings, vision encoder, MTP layers, GDN linear-attn sub-modules (in_proj_a, in_proj_b, conv1d, norm, A_log, dt_bias), all layernorms, q_norm, k_norm

Architecture

Qwen3.8-27B uses a hybrid architecture with 48 Gated DeltaNet (GDN) linear-attention layers and 16 full-attention layers (every 4th layer). The GDN in_proj_a/in_proj_b projections are kept in BF16 because they require special handling for fused loading.

Intended Use

Optimized for inference on Ampere GPUs (RTX 3090, A100) with SGLang/vLLM Marlin kernels. Weight-only INT8 with BF16 activations.
