Released October 202241K context≈ 30,720 words8B params

A compact, open-weight text model running in a quantized 4-bit weight format, which trims memory footprint at the cost of some precision compared to its full-precision counterpart. It handles roughly 40K tokens of context, making it capable of processing moderately long documents in a single pass. The quantization means it runs leaner on hardware, though users may notice subtle quality trade-offs versus the base Qwen3 8B.

Glossary

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.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.Text ModelA language model that processes and generates only text, without support for images, audio, or other media types.TokensThe basic units of text that a language model processes, typically representing words or word fragments.
