Q4_K_M

The one we kept: a community conversion, about twice as fast in our runs and better with tools. Still on disk, set up to swap in. Community DogukanUrker GGUF; stock b10893.

Runs marked unenforced were measured on a suite that requires constrained decoding, on a server shown not to apply the schema: mlx_lm accepts it and ignores it, and a few other servers and models break it. Those numbers do not measure what the suite is designed to measure. They are kept and labelled rather than deleted.

Where it came from

  • Source: DogukanUrker/BTL-4-GGUF, file BTL-4-Q4_K_M.gguf, fetched with hf_hub_download into models/btl-4-q4km. The card says it was converted from the BF16 source with convert_hf_to_gguf.py --no-mtp, token embeddings and output at q8_0. Revision and sha256 not on record.
  • Size: 21,544,204,064 B (20.1 GiB).
  • Dates: download started 2026-09-15 07:51Z; ready by 08:11Z.
  • Who asked: Alan, 07:50Z, "I think I'd rather test the q4_0 first then 8b"; no Q4_0 exists, so the assistant fetched the only other byte-friendly build. The community card also reported 52.0-52.4 tok/s on an RTX 3060, which the assistant used as independent support for the quant diagnosis.

Seats held: none permanently. fleetview has a swap-seat bench entry btl-4 (.local/bin/llama-server, -c 65536 -np 1 --alias btl-4, label "BTL-4 Q4_K_M", note "generalist · 666 pf / 50 dec"), added in the 2026-09-20 hot-swap work. It was in a swap-seat contest on 2026-09-18/19 against Ornith and bonsai-2 and lost.

Decisions

  • Downloaded after the IQ2 board showed a quant-bound model, to give BTL-4 a fair test.
  • Not seated (2026-09-18): best generalist but 20 GB and worst of the big models on worldview.
  • Kept through the 2026-09-16 inventory ("tested, no faster build on disk") and left out of the 2026-10-11 sweeps; still on disk; present as a swap-seat bench entry.
  • Published as BTL-4 (Q4_K_M) with status candidate; the write-up's verdict quoted mean scores as percentages.

What went wrong

  • Server killed mid-suite (reconstructed). At 09:16Z the assistant read "q4km suites: 14/14" (a count of suite headers started, not finished), printed the board, and killed the server in the same turn. The last 76 tagger_nullable cases got connection-refused. The cause is reconstructed from the error pattern and timing; the run log's two rows (10:16:43 and 10:46:43 local) then disagree on coverage.
  • Binary/flag confound with the IQ2 run: see BTL-4 IQ2_XXS (vendor BTL-4-Compact download; prism-fork run) incidents.
  • Missing flags (standing check): this build has --jinja and --reasoning-format deepseek; the recheck lacks --reasoning-format and uses -np 1, and still matched 91.7% -> 91.7% on screening.
  • Stamp check: the manifest build b10893-c32d1dabe matches the stock binary named in the launch script, so no mis-stamp here.
