| calibration file | calib1_msa.txt |
| calibration samples | 128 dialogues, truncated at 128 tokens |
| calibration source | Almheiri/ArabCulture-Dialogue rev 9acd60cbbb4f, seed 1448 |
| weight MSE | 3.164e-08 |
| activation quantizers calibrated | 294/294 |
| environment | torch 2.8.0+cu128 · transformers 4.57.6 · modelopt 0.45.0 |
FP8 weight scales are data-free. What the calibration variety changes is the static
per-tensor activation scales, exported as input_scale. Sibling checkpoints
-fp8-msa, -fp8-gulf and -fp8-mixed differ in exactly that and nothing else.
Not loadable by plain transformers — config.json declares quantization type modelopt.
