Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct-bposit8

Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct converted to b-posit8 (32-code blocks with a power-of-two scale, 8-bit posit codes, es = 2) for the exact profile of INVAR: every matmul accumulates in a 256-bit quire with one rounding, so a deterministic runtime produces bit-identical activations and logits on x86, CUDA and aarch64, and independent reference implementations reproduce a served answer from these weights and the token ids.

  • File: Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct-bposit8.gguf (0.52 GB), SHA-256 7a56889a1eff44063abad894c8a6270debd10dba010556b8c1488cf2c8492651
  • Format: GGUF general.file_type 42 (b-posit8), llama-cpp-et fork (deterministic backend)
  • Spec: docs/EXACT-PROFILE-SPEC.md in the INVAR repo; conformance fixture and tokenizer vectors in go/crverify/testdata
  • Licence: this is a re-quantised copy of Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct; the upstream licence (apache-2.0) applies unchanged, including any use restrictions and attribution requirements.

Run it: invar serve --model Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct-bposit8.gguf --binary llama-cli --spot-check --spot-check-units, then invar verify worldline.jsonl --model Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct-bposit8.gguf --binary llama-cli --spot-check --units --reexec.

Why the Hub says "not able to determine the quantization variants"

The Hub's GGUF viewer recognises the quantization types shipped in upstream llama.cpp (Q4_K_M, Q8_0, F16, MXFP4 and so on) from the file name. b-posit8 is a new tensor type (GGUF tensor type 43, file type 42) that is not in that list yet, so the viewer cannot label it; the file itself is a valid GGUF and the metadata viewer reads it fine. Storage is 8 bits per weight plus one signed 8-bit power-of-two scale per 32 weights (8.25 bits per weight), comparable to Q8_0. It runs only on the deterministic llama.cpp fork that INVAR uses, not on stock llama.cpp or Ollama; that is the point of the profile, and the spec is public so other runtimes can implement it.
