Qwen3.5-0.8B · FP8 (dynamic)

8-bit quantization of Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B, produced for efficient vLLM serving. Quantized by axteam.


Base model	`Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B`
Method	FP8 (dynamic)
Format	compressed-tensors `FP8_DYNAMIC`
Weights / activations	W8A8 — FP8 E4M3 weights (per-output-channel scale), dynamic per-token FP8 activations
Architecture	Hybrid (linear-attention + full-attention) · Dense · multimodal (vision) · MTP head
Size on disk	~1.2 GB
Calibration	None (data-free static weight scales)
License	Apache-2.0

Quantization details

Scheme — W8A8 — FP8 E4M3 weights (per-output-channel scale), dynamic per-token FP8 activations, stored as compressed-tensors FP8_DYNAMIC.
Kept in BF16 — the vision tower & projector (model.visual.*), the multi-token-prediction head (mtp.*), all RMSNorms, token embeddings, the LM head, the SSM non-linear parts (linear_attn.conv1d/A_log/dt_bias). Left unquantized to preserve quality (a small fraction of parameters).
Tokenizer / chat_template / generation_config are identical to the original. config.json is the original plus a quantization_config block.

This is post-training quantization (PTQ) — no retraining, so behaviour stays faithful to the original. FP8 dynamic is calibration-free.

Evaluation (measured)

Fidelity to the BF16 original on an internal mixed English/Korean set (100 prompts, BF16 greedy answers scored under each build — same harness for every row).

Metric	This model	BF16 original
Perplexity (lower = closer)	2.0506	2.0174 (+1.6%)
Top-1 next-token agreement	93.3%	98.7%

These measure fidelity to the base model, not absolute task scores.

Usage (vLLM)

vllm serve axteam/Qwen3.5-0.8B-FP8-dynamic

Recommended sampling (Qwen): temperature=0.7, top_p=0.8, top_k=20.

License

Quantized derivative of Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B (Apache-2.0). All original weights, tokenizer and chat template belong to the Qwen team.
