From the model card
A bfloat16 re-export of deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash under the published tensor names. The dense linears (fp8 e4m3, ue8m0 scales over 32x32 blocks) and the routed experts (MXFP4, ue8m0 scales over 1x32 groups) are dequantized to plain bfloat16. Every fp8 / fp4 value times its power-of-two scale is representable in bfloat16, so the dequantization is exact. 48 safetensors shards, 1.34 TB.
quantization_config removed from config.json. An engine that reads it allocates fp8 and MXFP4
parameters, which bfloat16 weights cannot fill.layers.1.engram.embed and layers.14.engram.embed, ~98B parameters
each) are not dequantized: they keep the upstream fp8 e4m3 weight and 1x32 ue8m0
.scale, because vLLM's engram is fp8-only. In bfloat16 they would add ~197 GB.encoding/ and inference/.quantization_config; pass quantization = "fp8" (online per-block
fp8) to quantize the bf16 weights at load.model.name. The trainer
dequantizes the engram tables and renames to its own layout on first load.MIT, inherited from upstream. The upstream LICENSE is included verbatim.
