Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-Uncensored — ORIGINAL mixed 3/4/8 affine, BF16 SSD Ngram
This checkpoint targets Apple Silicon Macs, with engine optimization and local text-serving validation focused on M3 Ultra with 96 GB unified memory. Other Mac models, memory capacities and context sizes have not been validated. It uses Sushi native mixed 3/4/8-bit affine weights and a required BF16 Ngram table read from local SSD.
Public repository: yomie4343/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-Uncensored-MLX-Sushi-mixed-3-4-8bit-BF16-SSDNgram. Existing public 3/8 and 4/8 repositories are separate artifacts and are not replaced.
This is the existing ORIGINAL mixed 3/4/8 affine group-size-64 campaign candidate, prior to the separate weighted-affine allocation experiments. “ORIGINAL” identifies this campaign artifact; it does not mean the original full-precision Qwen weights. No new training was performed for this checkpoint. The direct raw source is the refusal-modified orcarouter checkpoint, revision 8336e613ea508b13c2159bd0f68965d97a606b95. Its card identifies Qwen/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next as its base. The exact upstream training ancestor commit has not been independently established.
Pinned conversion lineage
The inherited MLX 4/8 intermediate is yomie4343/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-Uncensored-MLX-Serve-mixed-4-8bit at 94af1f9fad6e422b8dda2fd9efe187208e388ceb. All 57 unchanged current shards match that fixed revision's remote LFS SHA-256 values. The other 44 current generated shards match the saved generation receipts, and all44 recorded raw input file hashes match the direct BF16 source at 8336e613ea508b13c2159bd0f68965d97a606b95. This verifies the pinned file links; the complete quantization procedure has not been independently rerun.
The required Ngram was assembled by copying 128 original BF16 tensor ranges from33 source containers, in numeric shard order. The saved build records verify source/written SHA-256 per range and full row coverage. Later Sushi adapters alter only the header and preserve the recorded payload hash. It is not dequantized from the older intermediate's 4-bit Ngram. These records plus the fresh current full-file hash establish the retained artifact; the remote128 ranges have not been independently downloaded and reconstructed again during publication preparation.
The unverified links are the exact official-Qwen training ancestor of the refusal-modified source, a new independent raw-to-intermediate/generated-shard conversion, and a new independent reconstruction of the original Ngram ranges. They are provenance proof limits, not evidence of a conflicting license. The intermediate's actual Qwen Community License1.0 is byte-identical to the direct source and separately inspected base LICENSE. NOTICE preserves this intermediate attribution as well.
Payload and format
| Component | Size and format |
|---|---|
| Weight containers | 101 safetensors shards, 66,075,781,474 bytes; indexed tensor payload 66,075,324,408 bytes across 3167 tensors |
| Affine projection inventory | Header-derived: 88 packed 3-bit, 60 packed 4-bit, 646 packed 8-bit projections; group size64 |
| Required SSD Ngram sidecar | ngram_table.bin, 102,400,491,728 bytes; safetensors-format raw BF16 [320001536,160] merged table |
| Model data plus serving metadata | 168,499,510,943 bytes before this card, license, notice and manifests; about156.93GiB |
MODEL-MANIFEST.json records fresh SHA-256 for every original shard, the entire BF16 Ngram file and serving metadata. All101 weight headers match the retained ORIGINAL inventory; 44 known generated-shard hashes also match. These hashes establish file identity, not model quality or complete training provenance. No weighted allocation variants are included.
The Ngram binary header says bits16 and BF16. It is not a 4-bit Ngram table. An old config field and generation receipt described a smaller 4-bit sidecar; the published config.json corrects only ngram_table.bits from4 to16. The header retains legacy group_size32 metadata, but the BF16 Sushi loader uses no quantization groups. No original weight or Ngram bytes are changed. The published config overlay has not yet been tested in a fresh clean-package server.
Download
Use the official Hugging Face CLI with a fast local SSD and enough free space for the approximately156.93GiB artifact plus download overhead. About180GiB free is a reasonable reserve; this is disk capacity, not an all-resident RAM requirement.
hf download yomie4343/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-Uncensored-MLX-Sushi-mixed-3-4-8bit-BF16-SSDNgram --local-dir ./qwen38-original-sushi --max-workers 2
Download the whole repository: do not omit the single102.4GB ngram_table.bin, any indexed shard, config or tokenizer. For an immutable snapshot, add --revision followed by a fully verified commit SHA from this repository's history. hf download supports rerunning interrupted downloads; consult the official CLI guide.
MODEL-MANIFEST.json records the original data hashes, corrected serving-metadata hashes, exact115-file count and byte total. MANIFEST.json records public metadata hashes except its own self-referential hash; the repository's pinned Git revision fixes that file. Use the qualified Sushi source/dependencies described below. Generic framework compatibility and a new full-model run of the publication config overlay remain unverified.
Engine compatibility
Local text serving was tested with isolated Sushi pinned at 711572e91c491b50b973e57045b8d4a7f5137764, MLX d73eb752ef2e6288fd95b032c0bff0a15a4a9e93 and MLX-C 56b2d39fc831f2c0eb5bb94d82ef7191f7b31fa6, with retained opt-in M3 Ultra patches documented in the accompanying engine patch kit. The published experimental M3 Ultra engine patch kit contains seven patches, not a standalone full fork or prebuilt engine binary. Six opt-in performance patches and one reporting correction apply to the pinned Sushi, MLX and MLX-C sources above. The six performance flags default off. A full upstream source checkout and pinned dependencies are required to build it. No engine binary or runtime dependency is bundled with this model.
This is a Sushi native affine checkpoint plus a required SSD-read Ngram sidecar. Generic Transformers, GGUF, EXL3, arbitrary mlx-lm versions and other engines are not qualified. Upstream architecture names in config do not establish portable framework support. Vision has not been qualified here; text testing used --no-vision. Keep ngram_table.bin alongside the index/config and all101 shards on fast local SSD. Storage size is not an all-resident RAM requirement: the Ngram is SSD-backed.
Build the experimental patch kit
Follow the pinned fetch, apply and build instructions. For a GitHub checkout of the patch kit, prepare its root directory as follows:
git clone https://github.com/yomi4343/sushi-m3ultra-affine.git sushi-m3ultra-affine
git -C sushi-m3ultra-affine checkout d0cec6446b98c1f19d9f82af31d8a18c7c73f11e
SUSHI_PATCH_DIR="$PWD/sushi-m3ultra-affine"
Use this SUSHI_PATCH_DIR in place of the reproduction document's archive-specific $PWD/payload assignment, then fetch the pinned upstream sources and apply the seven patches in the recorded order before building. The patch kit's clean combined build and targeted CPU checks passed on M3 Ultra 96 GB; fresh full-model/GPU parity and performance of that clean binary have not been rerun. Other Mac configurations remain unvalidated.
Hardware and build requirements
| Requirement | Validated scope or capacity |
|---|---|
| Mac | Apple Silicon target; optimized and locally validated on M3 Ultra, 96 GB unified memory |
| Unified memory | The tested configuration uses 96 GB. Weight containers alone are about 61.54 GiB, before KV/SSM caches, runtime buffers and workspaces. A smaller-memory minimum has not been established. |
| Local storage | Fast SSD with about 180 GiB free for the approximately 156.93 GiB download plus overhead. The approximately 95.37 GiB BF16 Ngram is SSD-backed; the entire artifact is not held in RAM. |
| Serving configuration | Text-only, --no-vision, KV8, context 32768 in the tested campaign |
| Source build | Pinned Apple Silicon macOS Sushi/MLX/MLX-C source, Xcode/Metal SDK 26.2+, CMake and the pinned project's appropriate Zig 0.17 development toolchain and dependencies |
Other Mac GPUs, memory capacities and context sizes require their own validation. Use the exact dependencies and the patch kit's reproduction instructions for an isolated build and server.
Performance scope
The latest corrected exact-MTP controls produced256 completion tokens from an8130-token prompt at 76.9759 tokens/s (256 divided by mean complete post-prefill awake wall). Cold prefill was926.419 /926.174 tokens/s. Separate earlier ordinary-decode 32K controls reached972.709 /975.208 cold-prefill tokens/s. These are distinct experiments. Neither cached-prefix rates nor legacy tick-only MTP rates are advertised here. The1000-prefill /80-decode target is not robustly achieved. A corrected full-suite repeat, independent public-corpus quality study and fresh full-model/GPU qualification remain pending. A clean combined engine source build and 13 targeted native CPU tests have passed locally; this is not a new serving/performance repeat.
These serving measurements are not a general intelligence, refusal, safety or task-quality benchmark. Private prompts, calibration logs, outputs and request-state traces are excluded from publication. The source checkpoint describes refusal removal; it may produce inappropriate or inaccurate text and no new quality/safety qualification is claimed.
License and modifications
The actual fixed source LICENSE is Qwen Community License1.0, copyright2026 Qwen. It is reproduced unchanged in LICENSE. Its card's Apache-2.0 claim conflicts with that file. The independently inspected Qwen base license has identical bytes; that inspected revision is not claimed to be the proven training ancestor. This repository therefore uses license: other with the actual Qwen license, not an Apache-only or unrestricted-commercial-use label.
The license contains conditions on notices, certain large commercial services, and commercial Model-as-a-Service/AI Work Assistant businesses. Read the full actual license before use or redistribution. No separate Qwen commercial license has been obtained or accepted by this preparation. The card mismatch is corrected by following the actual supplied license and retaining its notices; it is not treated as a permanent distribution prohibition by itself. Exact training ancestry and a complete independent raw-to-final conversion reconstruction remain disclosed provenance limits. The actual license expressly permits redistribution and derivative works with its retained notices and conditions. The requested individual weight publication is not itself a new commercial inference or assistant service. No conflicting model license was identified in the inspected fixed sources; this does not establish unrestricted commercial-use rights or third-party-rights clearance.
NOTICE names the original Qwen model, the orcarouter refusal-modified source, the fixed MLX intermediate, the mixed affine quantization/packaging changes and the BF16 Ngram requirement. Full private generation/calibration receipts are excluded. File hashing does not reverify the complete raw BF16-to-final conversion chain. Distribution must preserve the license and notices.
