L0xRE-27b-Low

A 27B hybrid model tuned to run well on consumer GPUs. This is the standard build: a low-bit quantized body with high-precision embeddings, designed to be paired with the DFlash2 drafter for speculative decoding. It runs a 12 GiB certified configuration on an RTX 4090 and a 16 GiB / 256K-context configuration on a 5090-class card.

Headline numbers (RTX 4090, L0xRE SM89 runtime, internal bench):

Config Code decode TTFT VRAM
12 GiB / 80K ctx + DFlash2-Q4 115.4 ± 2.4 tok/s 289 ms 11.7 GiB
16 GiB / 256K ctx + DFlash2-Q4 116.3 ± 2.9 tok/s 303 ms 14.5 GiB
Full-GPU / 32K + DFlash2-Q4 139.5 ± 7.5 tok/s (peak 149.9) 292 ms ~20 GiB

Headline quality (internal suite, pass@1): 124–126 / 150 with thinking enabled (three independent passes), vs 117 / 150 for the native-quant baseline it was built from. See Quality for the full receipts table.

Which file to download

File Use when
L0xRE-27b-Low.gguf (this repo) Default. Pair with a DFlash2 drafter (included in this repo).
L0xRE-27b-Low-MTP You want the model to self-accelerate with no drafter file (built-in MTP head).

Both files are the same base model and quantization. The MTP variant adds one nextn prediction block (+830 MB) used only for standalone self-drafting; with a DFlash2 drafter attached that block is idle, so the standard build is smaller and preferred.

Drafters (included in this repo)

Drafter Certified config Size
Qwen3.8-27B-DFlash2-Q4_K_M.gguf both 12 GiB and 16 GiB configs (recommended) 1.14 GB
Qwen3.8-27B-DFlash2-Q2_K.gguf fallback when VRAM is tight (16 GiB config: 107.4 vs 116.3 tok/s) 705 MB

Prebuilt runtime: release beellama-sm89-v0.4.7-r1 in L0xRE-BeeLLama-Low (./l0xre serve --profile 12gb -m L0xRE-27b-Low.gguf -md Qwen3.8-27B-DFlash2-Q4_K_M.gguf).

These require the L0xRE runtime (branch release/l0xre-sm89-v0.4.7 of L0xRE-BeeLLama-Low), not stock llama.cpp. SM120 (5090) users: release beellama-sm120-v0.4.7-r9 in the same repo. Catalog and ledger: seanyourhighness/L0xRE.

Architecture: 27B-parameter hybrid on the Qwen3.8-27B base — 64 transformer blocks; low-bit (≈2–3 bpw) projections, higher-precision embeddings/output, 262,144 native context, 248,320 vocab.

Qualification boundaries

  • Qualified on the L0xRE BeeLLama runtime only — not stock llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio, Transformers, or SGLang.
  • SM89 (4090-class): qualified at the two configs above, single slot. MTP-standalone, longer contexts, and multi-slot serving are not part of the qualification.
  • SM120 (5090): RTX 5090 / WSL, one-slot 8K and 32K profiles (beellama-sm120-v0.4.7-r9).
  • Speed vs matched native GGUF (SM120 r9 release): prefill 0.984–0.990, decode 0.963–0.981, DFlash2 prose 0.994, DFlash2 code 1.004.

Quality

Internal 8-pack suite (toolcall, instruct-follow, structured-output, data-extract, reason-math, bug-find, agent-20, cli-40 — 150 items per pass, pass@1):

Configuration pass 1 pass 2 pass 3
L0xRE-27b-Low (thinking on) 124 / 150 121 / 150 126 / 150
L0xRE-27b-Low (thinking off) 116 / 150 — —
Native-quant baseline (thinking off) 117 / 150 — —

Run on z840 / RTX 4090 (SM89) via the BeeLLama server. The suite is internal and non-canonical — treat these as directional, not leaderboard results. Broader n/150 runs are scheduled and will be appended here as receipts land.
