What it is

This is an iMatrix-calibrated quantization of the full-weight Qwen3.5 122B-A10B Heretic checkpoint. It was built with ROCmFPX's compact Q4_0_ROCMFP4_STRIX_LEAN recipe, but the hardware-oriented preset name has been left out of the public filename.

Result
BF16 mean KLD 0.100716 ± 0.003407
Two-sigma KLD upper bound 0.107530
Improvement from iMatrix 14.01% lower KLD
Greedy decode 28.448 tok/s
Greedy decode with MTP 33.677 tok/s
4,277-token prefill 350.248 tok/s

The main model is complete and runs independently. The 23-tensor, one-layer MTP file is an optional external companion; no MTP layer is embedded in the main GGUF. Runtimes call this role a draft model, but Draft is omitted from the public filename because it does not mean unfinished.

Quality

The calibrated model and its uncalibrated control were replayed against the same saved distributions from the exact BF16 parent on ROCm0.

Build Mean KLD PPL ratio Same top RMS Δp
iMatrix 0.100716 ± 0.003407 1.080217 ± 0.010198 87.629% ± 0.622% 10.881%
Uncalibrated 0.117119 ± 0.004183 1.109251 ± 0.011299 86.774% ± 0.640% 12.077%

iMatrix calibration reduced mean KLD by 14.01%, reduced the PPL ratio by 0.029034, and improved same-top agreement by 0.855 percentage points. The two-sigma KLD upper bound is 0.107530, clearing the selected 0.126 performance-oriented target.

The paired replay covers 11 complete 512-token chunks and 2,805 evaluated next-token distributions. These were recovered at an exact probability-block boundary from an interrupted 32-chunk BF16 run. This is useful preliminary evidence, not a completed 32-chunk acceptance gate.

Performance

Measured on a 128 GB AMD Strix Halo system with Vulkan/RADV, 131,072 context, parallel 1, batch/ubatch 2048/1024, Q8_0 KV cache, flash attention, and MTP off. Values are medians from repeated runs.

Workload Repeats Decode Prompt processing
Greedy, 256 generated tokens 5 28.448 tok/s 71.929 tok/s
Sampled, 256 generated tokens 3 28.418 tok/s 71.294 tok/s
4,277-token prefill + 128 generated 3 28.041 tok/s 350.248 tok/s

Relative to the otherwise matched uncalibrated build, decode improved by 2.43%, 5.23%, and 2.84% respectively. Long-prompt prefill changed by -1.03%. These are single-system measurements, not general performance guarantees.

Optional MTP acceleration

The external MTP companion was tested against this exact iMatrix trunk in a matched MTP-off/on A/B. The model, runtime, context, cache, batch geometry, prompts, and companion identity were held constant; only MTP execution changed.

Workload Native decode MTP decode Decode gain Acceptance End-to-end gain
Greedy, 256 tokens 28.328 tok/s 33.677 tok/s +18.89% 85.03% +16.44%
Sampled, 256 tokens 28.035 tok/s 30.953 tok/s +10.41% 80.00% +8.76%
4,277-token prefill + 128 27.585 tok/s 33.752 tok/s +22.36% 90.73% -0.45%

MTP reduced prompt-processing throughput by about 7% because the companion must catch up on the prompt. It therefore helps most when generation is long enough to repay that fixed cost. The exact identity probe was unchanged, and both the MTP-off and MTP-on lanes passed technical prose, executable code semantics, strict JSON, tool-calling, balanced-analysis, and defensive-safety smokes.

Quantization

The model was quantized once from the validated BF16 GGUF using a 339-chunk code/technical importance matrix and the Q4_0_ROCMFP4_STRIX_LEAN preset.

Tensor type Count
Q4_0_ROCMFP4_FAST 457
Q4_0_ROCMFP4 60
F32 361
Q5_K 1

In this preset, attention K/V tensors retain dual-scale ROCmFP4 protection, most transformer weights use the compact FAST layout, and token embeddings/output use Q5_K. The artifact contains 879 tensors across 48 blocks and no embedded MTP layer.

The tested runtime was charlie12345/ROCmFPX commit a6a93765f7ce9779c13f9881164a65f7a9f31198, built in Release mode for gfx1151 with Vulkan and HIP enabled, plus a local Qwen3.5 MoE graph correction. Results with newer ROCmFPX revisions have not yet been established.
