Qwen3.8-Distilled-2B-NPU2-NPU2

OpenFlowLM Q4NX conversion of Atomic-Germ/Qwen3.8-2B-Distill-NPU2 for AMD XDNA NPU inference.

This repository contains a quantized Q4NX port of the model, compiled for the OpenFlowLM (OFLM) runtime. It is not a GGUF file.

Item	Value
Source model	`Atomic-Germ/Qwen3.8-2B-Distill-NPU2`
Source GGUF	`Qwen3.8-2B-Distill-Q8_0.gguf`
Weights	`model.q4nx` (2.29 GB)
Modality	language / vision
OFLM version	`0.1.0`
Converted	2026-09-27

Install and run

This repository works with oflm-add, a small installer that copies the model into the OpenFlowLM user directory and registers the tag. It never modifies the system OpenFlowLM install.

pip install oflm-add or uv tool install oflm-add

uv tool install oflm-add
oflm-add Atomic-Germ/Qwen3.8-Distilled-2B-NPU2-NPU2 --family qwen3.5 --xclbin-from Qwen3.8-Distilled-2B-NPU2-NPU2
OFLM_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/.config/oflm/model_list.json" OFLM_XCLBIN_PATH="$HOME/.config/oflm" oflm run Qwen3.8-Distilled-2B-NPU2-NPU2

Files

File	Description
`model.q4nx`	Quantized weights (Q8_0 / Q4_1 / BF16)
`config.json`	OFLM runtime configuration
`tokenizer.json`	Tokenizer vocabulary
`tokenizer_config.json`	Tokenizer configuration
`chat_template.jinja`	Chat template
