Kuza Qwen 3.5-4B Quant Study

Quantization vs finetuning diagnosis for the Kuza East Africa agricultural assistant. Source weights and past quants from kuzaai/kuza-qwen-3.5-4b.

Diagnosis

  • Verdict: finetuning_or_template_issue
  • BF16 hidden_mean: 0.479
  • Screen winner: iq3_xs_imatrix_ssm
  • BF16 hidden_mean=0.479 is below threshold 0.75; quantization is unlikely the root cause.

Layout

  • artifacts/ — downloaded reference GGUF, imatrix, tokenizer, past quants
  • quants/ — newly quantized GGUF candidates from this study
  • screen/ — KLD logs, hidden-set reports, bench logs, results.json
  • results/ — baseline eval, report/analysis.md, per-model JSON
  • upload_manifest.json — path, size, sha256 for every uploaded file

Past-run quants (re-evaluated)

New quant candidates

  • q4_k_m_plainq4_k_m — Community-style imatrix Q4_K_M without tensor overrides.
  • q5_k_m_imatrix_ssmq5_k_m — Quality step-up per Hob-forge Qwen3.5-4B benchmarks.
  • q3_k_m_imatrix_ssmq3_k_m — User-requested 3-bit K-quant with SSM/attention protection.
  • iq3_xs_imatrix_ssmiq3_xs — User-requested 3-bit I-quant; may trade speed for size.
  • iq4_xs_imatrix_ssmiq4_xs — Smallest 4-bit I-quant with hybrid SSM protection.
  • q6_k_imatrixq6_k — Near-lossless quant reference.
