- Open-model users fitting models to local hardware
- Worth noticing
- The page reports a Qwen3-30B-A3B recipe at 10.4 GB and KL 0.042, compared with a 57 GB original.
Field notes
The workflow calibrates against answers generated for a stated use, such as debugging Python and Rust, then scores which experts or neurons contribute to that task. Its gate checks both KL divergence and actual memory footprint; the page says calibration with 64 sequences scored as well as 256. It also records which compression approaches were excluded from the defaults, including per-expert bit widths and int3 on dense models.
