| ## Primitive AI |
|
|
| The compute weights come from `primitive-ai/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-mixed-NVFP4-FP8` |
| at `a4e813ed3cfbbcc61e2929699eccb864a4dfa843`. Primitive AI provides the main |
| NVFP4 expert and FP8 projection quantizations and distributes the remaining BF16 |
| components. Its model card specifies Qwen Community License 1.0. |
|
|
| The INT4 PLE tables come from `primitive-ai/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-PLE-quant` |
| at `da8b39586016d8325ac619be28ad77d6296625ec`, using only `ples_int4`. |

| ## NInfer conversion and runtime |
|
|
| NInfer upstream: https://github.com/Neroued/ninfer |
|
|
| NInfer workstation fork and this release: https://github.com/igorls/ninfer |
|
|
| Changes represented by this release are native `.ninfer` v2 packaging, projection |
| concatenation/reordering, expert-bank aggregation and scale-layout conversion, |
| substitution of Primitive's INT4 PLE table for the mixed source's BF16 PLE table, |
| and embedding of the tokenizer/template/frontend resources. The release performs |
| no fine-tuning or expert pruning. The 48 main MoE layers retain 512 experts each. |
|
|
| MTP expert banks remain BF16 in the distributed file. When MTP is enabled, the |
| pinned NInfer loader converts these banks to its NVFP4 execution layout using a |
| weights-only per-expert/per-group quantizer. This runtime conversion is NInfer's |
| implementation, distinct from Primitive's main-expert source quantization. It |
| does not change the published file. No optional pre-spliced NVFP4 MTP artifact is |
| included in this release. |
|
|
| The historical converter commit was not recorded in the original conversion |
| report. Exact source revisions, artifact bytes and SHA256, frontend hashes, and a |
| compatible engine commit are recorded in `artifact-manifest.json`. |
