	# Gemma-4-Giftige-Blume-31B-v1-W8A16-FP8

	Quantized version of [Blazed-Forge/Gemma-4-Giftige-Blume-31B-v1](https://huggingface.co/Blazed-Forge/Gemma-4-Giftige-Blume-31B-v1).

	## Format

	Offline-quantized W8A16 FP8 in the
	[compressed-tensors](https://github.com/neuralmagic/compressed-tensors)
	`float-quantized` format: weights in `float8_e4m3fn` with per-output-channel
	symmetric scales, activations kept in bf16/fp16.

	## How it was quantized

	For each linear layer, every output row gets its own scale starting from
	`amax / 448`, refined by an MSE clip search over ~9 clip fractions
	(0.8–1.0× amax) picking the lowest-error scale per row. Weights are then
	quantized `q = e4m3(w / scale)` with round-to-nearest and saturation. This
	per-channel + clipping scheme gives better SNR than vLLM's online per-tensor
	`--quantization fp8` path.

	Only 2D linear projection weights are quantized (attention q/k/v/o, MLP
	gate/up/down). Embeddings, norms, lm_head, routers/experts, and the vision
	tower stay in bf16 and are listed in the checkpoint's `ignore` list, so vLLM
	leaves them untouched.

	## Supported vLLM platforms

	- Intel XPU — `XPUW8A16FP8LinearKernel` (the intended target).
	- NVIDIA CUDA (SM75+, i.e. Turing and newer) —
	`HummingFP8ScaledMMLinearKernel` when the `humming` package is installed,
	otherwise `MarlinFP8ScaledMMLinearKernel`.
	- Not supported: ROCm, CPU, TPU — vLLM has no W8A16-FP8 kernel for these
	backends yet, so loading will fail with a "no kernel" error.
