A compact, open-weight text model that runs efficiently thanks to W4A16 quantization — weights stored in 4-bit precision while activations stay at 16-bit, reducing memory footprint without fully sacrificing numerical fidelity. It handles a 40K token context window, giving it reasonable reach for longer documents despite its small size.

Glossary

4-bit PrecisionA quantization level where model weights are stored using only 4 bits per value, significantly reducing model size at the cost of some accuracy.Bit PrecisionThe number of bits used to represent each number in a model; lower bit precision (like 3-bit) means smaller file size but potentially less accurate calculations.Context WindowThe maximum number of tokens a model can process in a single conversation or prompt.FidelityThe degree to which a quantized or compressed model preserves the quality and accuracy of the original full-precision model.Memory FootprintThe amount of RAM or storage space a model requires to run, which is critical for deployment on resource-constrained devices.Numerical FidelityThe accuracy and precision with which a model preserves mathematical calculations; lower fidelity means some precision is lost, often as a trade-off for smaller model size.PrecisionThe level of numerical detail a model uses to represent its internal values; higher precision means more accurate calculations but requires more memory.QuantizationReducing a model's numerical precision (e.g., from 16-bit to 4-bit) to shrink memory usage and speed up inference.Text ModelA language model that processes and generates only text, without support for images, audio, or other media types.TokenA small unit of text (a word, subword, or punctuation mark) that a language model breaks input into for processing.W4A16A quantization format where model weights are stored in 4-bit precision while calculations use 16-bit precision, balancing efficiency with accuracy.W4A16 QuantizationA specific quantization scheme where weights are stored in 4-bit precision while activations remain in 16-bit precision, balancing memory savings with accuracy.WeightsThe numerical parameters inside a neural network that determine how it processes input and generates output.
