Qwen3.8-27B-DFlash2 โ€” EXL3 4.00 bpw (draft)

EXL3 (ExLlamaV3) quantization of the incoai/Qwen3.8-27B-DFlash2 block-diffusion draft for use with r0b0tlab/Qwen3.8-27B-EXL3-4.00bpw.

Backbone Linears quantized at 4.00 bpw; the dynamic-convolution base_kernel tensors and the candidate-selector codebooks stay fp16 (uncalibrated). Quantization is acceptance-neutral on this stack (overlay measurement: mean acceptance 5.474 EXL3 vs 5.463 BF16 draft). Native engine GSM8K: 5.657 AL / 162.9 tok/s.

Requires r0b0tlab/exllamav3 branch community @ 355c6ee โ€” native DFlash2DraftModel, selected automatically via -dm <dir>. Do not use the old dflash2-pathway overlay.

Resource requirements

  • Weights on disk: 1.2 GiB (this repo). Target repo: 15.4 GiB.
  • This draft adds ~1.22 GiB of fp32 GDN verify states (per sequence slot) to the target's footprint; its own KV is windowed (5 sliding-window layers, tens of MB). Target at full 262,144-token context with cq3: ~21.7 GB loaded, peak ~22.7 GiB.
