Open WeightModel weights are publicly available — can be downloaded and self-hosted

Released September 2023context N/A

A compact multimodal model that accepts both text and image inputs, quantized to W4A16 precision using Intel's AutoRound technique. The weight-only quantization approach reduces memory footprint while aiming to preserve accuracy, making it a leaner variant of the Qwen3 8B base. As a quantized derivative, some capability degradation compared to the full-precision original is expected.

Glossary

AutoRoundAn advanced quantization method that automatically optimizes how model weights are rounded to lower precision, preserving accuracy better than simpler quantization approaches.AutoRoundAn automated quantization method that intelligently rounds weights to lower precision while minimizing the loss in model performance.Full-PrecisionA model using standard 32-bit floating-point numbers to represent weights, providing maximum accuracy but requiring more memory.Memory FootprintThe amount of RAM or storage space a model requires to run, which is critical for deployment on resource-constrained devices.MultimodalA model that can process and understand multiple types of input, such as both text and images.Multimodal ModelAn AI model that can process and understand multiple types of input data, such as video, images, and text together.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.QuantizedA technique that reduces a model's size and memory usage by storing weights with lower precision (fewer bits), trading some accuracy for efficiency.W4A16A quantization format where model weights are stored in 4-bit precision while calculations use 16-bit precision, balancing efficiency with accuracy.W4A16 PrecisionA quantization format where weights are compressed to 4-bit precision while activations remain at 16-bit precision, reducing memory usage while maintaining reasonable accuracy.Weight-Only QuantizationA quantization approach that reduces precision only for model weights while keeping activations at full precision, balancing memory savings with minimal accuracy loss.
