This repository hosts the **edge0-8b** checkpoint of the
|
| 31 |
+
[edge0](https://github.com/Edge0-AI/edge0) streaming MoE inference
|
| 32 |
+
framework. The full 4-bit checkpoint (β4.2 GB) stays on storage; edge0
|
| 33 |
+
mmaps it and streams MoE experts from SSD on demand, with a trained
|
| 34 |
+
**prerouter** head that predicts the next token's expert routing one
|
| 35 |
+
step ahead so expert loads hide completely behind the forward pass. The
|
| 36 |
+
result: **an 8B-class MoE with β1.0 GiB of active memory** β a
|
| 37 |
+
phone-class memory budget, with no upfront weight download into RAM and
|
| 38 |
+
no model sharding.
|
| 39 |
+
|
| 40 |
+
> **Preview status:** this is an early preview release of the edge0
|
| 41 |
+
> pipeline. The checkpoint ships as int4 quantization plus LoRA and
|
| 42 |
+
> prerouter adapters trained for this framework.

## Model summary
|
| 45 |
+
|
| 46 |
+
| | |
|
| 47 |
+
|---|---|
|
| 48 |
+
| Base model | inclusionAI Ling 3.0 tiny (bailing hybrid, MLA + MoE, β7.9B total / β1.2B active) |
|
| 49 |
+
| Quantization | 4-bit |
|
| 50 |
+
| Layers | 24 |
|
| 51 |
+
| Experts / active per token | 128 / 8 (K=8) |
|
| 52 |
+
| Framework | [edge0](https://github.com/Edge0-AI/edge0) (MLX backend) |
|
| 53 |
+
| Contents | base checkpoint + `lora_edge0_8b.safetensors` + `prerouter_edge0_8b.safetensors` |
|
| 54 |
+
|
| 55 |
+
The LoRA and prerouter adapters are co-located with the base checkpoint
|
| 56 |
+
and load automatically β this repository is a complete, ready-to-run
|
| 57 |
+
model directory for `edge0`.

+
## Quality (self-evaluation)
|
| 60 |
+
|
| 61 |
+
Internal self-evaluation of this checkpoint (int4 + adapters) relative to
|
| 62 |
+
the fp16 base model β the loss of the edge0 pipeline is small: **2.8
|
| 63 |
+
points on average**, with MMLU-Pro above the base (max 100, all
|
| 64 |
+
self-run):
|
| 65 |
+

| Benchmark | edge0-8b (int4) | Base fp16 |

## Performance
|
| 76 |
+
|
| 77 |
+
Measured with `examples/bench.py` on a Mac mini M4 Pro, 24 GB:
|
| 78 |
+
|
| 79 |
+
| Decode speed | Prefill throughput (cold / warm) | Peak active memory* |
|
| 80 |
+
|---|---|---|
|
| 81 |
+
| 23.9β25.3 tok/s | 500 / 1428 tok/s | 1.0 GiB |
|
| 82 |
+
|
| 83 |
+
*Short contexts; long contexts add KV cache (β3.3 GiB at 3.3k tokens).
|
| 84 |
+
Expert weights stream from SSD via mmap and are not resident.
|
| 85 |
+

+
## Quick start
|
| 87 |
+
|
| 88 |
+
```bash
|
| 89 |
+
pip install -e 'git+https://github.com/Edge0-AI/edge0.git#egg=edge0[fetch]'
|
| 90 |
+
|
| 91 |
+
# Download this repository into a local directory
|
| 92 |
+
huggingface-cli download Edge0/Edge0-8b-a1b-preview --local-dir ./Edge0-8b-a1b-preview
|
| 93 |
+
|
| 94 |
+
# Run it
|
| 95 |
+
export EDGE0_8B_MODEL=$PWD/Edge0-8b-a1b-preview
|
