DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 — ROCmFPX mixed precision for Strix Halo

File: ds4-0731-gu106down-v3.gguf — 98.29 GB, single file, no sidecars. 2.766 bits per weight, computed all-in: whole file (header and embedded codebooks included) over the artifact's 284.33B parameters. The published reference for this checkpoint is 2.88 bpw at the same 82/92 score.

A mixed-precision GGUF of DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 (660B MoE) sized for the AMD Strix Halo 96 GiB single-allocation window: it loads unsplit on the iGPU of a 128 GB Strix Halo box (Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 / Radeon 8060S) with stock parameters, leaving headroom for a speculative-decode draft. All codebooks are embedded in the GGUF as KV — download one file and serve.

Quality

suite score
COMPSEC-17 (think budget 15488) 17/17
full ds4-eval 92 (COMPSEC + AIME2025 + GPQA-Diamond + SuperGPQA) 82/92

At 2.766 bpw overall — ~4% fewer bits per weight than the 2.88-bpw published reference that scores the same 82/92.

82/92 equals the published reference artifact for this checkpoint — with one important difference: this model's calibration holds out all 92 eval items (the reference's calibration set contained 75 of them). Scores were produced with the reference's own grader (ds4-eval --regrade-trace, self-check 92/92) at the matched thinking budget, serving on dflash with fused decode off.

Serving configs (measured, Radeon 8060S iGPU, 128 GB)

Two supported configurations — pick per workload. The speed lever is --ds4-expert-top-k 4 (4 instead of the model-default 6 routed experts per token) plus fused decode; it costs measured quality, stated below, never hidden:

config flags decode COMPSEC-17
quality (default) model-default top-k 6, fused decode off 18.1 tok/s 17/17
throughput --ds4-expert-top-k 4 --ds4-fused-decode 22.3 tok/s (+23%) 16/17

The 82/92 full-eval score was measured at the quality config. The DSpark speculative drafter does NOT currently help this artifact (accept rate 0.51–0.67 vs 0.837 on the reference it was calibrated for — net slower); draft–target co-calibration for mix-quantized targets is an open item.

Bit allocation

Every tensor's format is chosen by a measured allocator (layer-output damage under real MoE routing, one knapsack over the whole file under the 98.4e9-byte ceiling) — nothing is hand-picked. The result:

family format bpw
routed gate/up experts (all 43 layers) Q2_1_ROCMFP2_MIX (106) — learned per-expert codebooks 2.50
routed down experts, 15 layers Q2_1_ROCMFP2_MIX (106) 2.50
routed down experts, 28 layers Q3_1_ROCMFP3_MIX (105) — adaptive 3.50
attention / dense / shared expert Q4_0_ROCMFP4_FAST (101) 4.25
norms / router / scaffolding F32 / 101 passthrough

The artifact is gated before release: a registered golden probe (COMPSEC ≥16 bar, positive-control validated) must pass at the byte ceiling.

Serving

Needs a dflash build with qtype-106 down-expert (gumix surface=2) registration and the mix-qtype monolithic-load fallback — branch feat/qtype106-down-surface of GeometricAGI/lucebox-hub.

dflash_server ds4-0731-gu106down-v3.gguf --target-device hip:0 --max-ctx 8192

On Strix Halo use stock settings (auto-UMA on). If a discrete GPU is present, mask it (HIP_VISIBLE_DEVICES=<iGPU index>) or pick the iGPU explicitly. A healthy load prints registered 101 qtype-106 and registered 28 qtype-105, then serves with fused decode off.


The repo also carries ds4-0731-gu106-v1.gguf (+ its .gumix.bin sidecar), an earlier 102.32 GB revision kept for reproducibility — superseded by v3 on size, quality, and deployability.
