ralph-qwen3-8b-ternary-r4

Ternary-tier GGUF compression of Qwen/Qwen3-8B — architecture and parameter count unchanged (8,190,735,360 weight-bearing parameters), weights re-stored at reduced bit-width. Submitted to the ternary bit-tier on Bittensor subnet 40 (Ralph, model-compression).

Model overview

Parent Qwen/Qwen3-8B (Apache-2.0)
Parameters 8,190,735,360
Architecture unchanged from parent
Format GGUF
Bit tier ternary
File size 2,430,026,816 bytes (~2.26 GiB)
Measured bits/weight ~2.37 (file size / param count; embedding/output tensors kept at higher precision outside the compressed blocks)
Quantization method llama.cpp, imatrix-calibrated

No retraining or architectural modification — this is a post-training weight re-storage of the parent's own weights.
