Sophea-Titan-1-NVFP4
NVFP4 4-bit quantization of Sophea-Titan-1

NVFP4A16 (weight-only 4-bit) quantization of KIEFERSA/Sophea-Titan-1 — the 27B Greek fine-tuned chat model built on Qwen3.6-27B. This is the smallest Sophea-Titan-1 variant — ≈0.35× the disk / VRAM of bf16 — at a modest, measured accuracy cost (see below). For a lossless drop-in, use the FP8 build KIEFERSA/Sophea-Titan-1-FP8 instead.

  • Base model: KIEFERSA/Sophea-Titan-1 (bf16)
  • Scheme: NVFP4A16 — weight-only 4-bit NVFP4 (E2M1) weights + FP8 block-scales, 16-bit activations, compressed-tensors nvfp4-pack-quantized
  • Size: 18.8 GB (bf16 base ≈ 54 GB → 0.35×)
  • Creator: Kiefer SA
  • Decoding: non-thinking (enable_thinking=false) — see recommended sampling under Usage

What is / isn't quantized. Data-free one-shot PTQ via llm-compressor (NVFP4A16, no calibration). Quantized to 4-bit: the language-model attention + MLP Linear layers. Kept bf16: lm_head and the two GDN gate projections linear_attn.in_proj_a / in_proj_b (out-dim 48 → fused 96; kept full-precision so vLLM's Marlin FP4 kernel — which requires output dims ÷64 — can serve the model). This quantized build is text-only — the vision tower of the multimodal base (Sophea-Titan-1) is not included in this NVFP4 release.

Serving. NVFP4 runs through vLLM (Marlin FP4 kernel on Blackwell/Hopper). Unlike FP8, the nvfp4-pack-quantized format does not load in HF transformers — use vLLM. Serve non-thinking (enable_thinking=false).

Accuracy vs bf16 (measured on this build)

Measured through the vLLM decode path (greedy, non-thinking), vs the bf16 base:

Metric bf16 (published) NVFP4 (this build) Δ
General Greek benchmarks macro (9, logprob) 0.7369 0.7138 −2.3 pt
English retention macro (5) 0.8783 0.8688 −0.9 pt
GreekMMLU (30-subj) 0.854 0.832 −2.2 pt

The 4-bit weight quantization costs ≈2.3 pt on General Greek benchmarks (concentrated in Greek-knowledge benchmarks), while English retention is nearly intact (−0.9 pt) and generation stays degeneration-free. This is the size/quality trade for a 4-bit footprint; the FP8 build is lossless if you can afford ~30 GB.

Usage

Serve with vLLM (compressed-tensors NVFP4 → Marlin FP4 kernel):

vllm serve KIEFERSA/Sophea-Titan-1-NVFP4 --served-model-name sophea-titan-1-nvfp4 --trust-remote-code \
  --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder \
  --reasoning-parser qwen3

Recommended sampling (instruct / non-thinking): temperature=0.7, top_p=0.80, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=1.5, repetition_penalty=1.0.
