Q4 Quant Benchmarks Crown Top Quants

Q4 Quant Benchmarks Crown Top Quants

Detailed Q4 quantization comparison for Qwen3.5-35B-A3B using KLD for faithfulness and PPL for perplexity. AesSedai's Q4_K_M excels with lowest KLD by protecting key tensors. Efficiency leader is AesSedai IQ4_XS at 16GB with strong scores.

Big Batch Sizes Unlock RWKV Training Gains

Training RWKV v6 (~193M) on RTX 4050 stalled at 50 PPL with effective batch=8, but jumped to 20 PPL using gradient_accumulation=64 (effective=128). Author trained 4 days unsuccessfully before this tweak. Tip applies to training generative LMs from scratch or fine-tuning.

Qwen 3.5 Needs bf16 KV Cache

Qwen 3.5 models like 35B A3B require bf16 KV cache in llama.cpp for accurate perplexity, not default f16. Tests show bf16 PPL at 6.5497 vs 6.5511 for f16/f32. vLLM defaults to bf16 correctly, but llama.cpp needs manual flags.
