Ingot-IX-27B-Q2

A public mirror of a model that won on Ingot, a Bittensor subnet where miners quantize a fixed teacher model and the validator crowns the copy that stays closest to it.

It is Prism ML's Ternary Bonsai 2 27B, refined: the same ternary codes, with the per-block scales and the norm weights re-tuned by the miner to bring it closer to Qwen3.8-27B.

Submitted by miner hotkey 5FHoQiL4CRLCVEWKX6by9aGExiz7WxRWyBtUJKN5uwyi6iyU (uid 197)
Crowned from submission 2c80dc33-ca61-494d-bda3-46bcd3642fb0

The weights are the miner's upload, byte for byte. Credit belongs to the miner, and to Prism ML for Bonsai 2.

How close it is to the teacher

Per answer token, against the BF16 teacher reading the same answer: KL(teacher ‖ model) of the next-token distributions, and the hidden-state distance |h − h_teacher| / |h_teacher| averaged over every 8th layer. Lower is closer.

	KL	hidden-state distance
this model, in its winning eval	0.10294	0.3201
the king it beat, same eval	0.10452	0.3264

Running it

Ingot-IX-27B-PQ2_0.gguf is a gguf with the layout, tokenizer and Hadamard rotation of dendriteholdings/Ingot-genesis-27B-Q2 (Ingot-genesis-27B-Q2.gguf), its ternary codes Bonsai 2's and its scales and norm weights the miner's. Stock llama.cpp does not run it; the PrismML fork does, at the commit Ingot scored it with, e3de715:

git clone https://github.com/PrismML-Eng/llama.cpp && cd llama.cpp && git checkout e3de715222b2667c54a267441159a5729f11155e
cmake -B build -DGGML_CUDA=ON && cmake --build build -j
build/bin/llama-server -m Ingot-IX-27B-PQ2_0.gguf -ngl 99 -fa on --jinja

With images

The file is the text model. For image input, add the vision tower of prism-ml/Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B-gguf as a projector (Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B-mmproj-Q8_0.gguf, Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B-mmproj-BF16.gguf). It was made for genesis, not for this model's weights, and Ingot scores the text model only, so image quality is untested:
