Where it came from

  • Repo: ibm-granite/granite-guardian-4.1-8b, snapshot ab01ccca5dcfb80246369a086a4a87a29198f5af (refs/main).
  • Files: four shards = 4,995,591,048 + 4,991,447,808 + 4,970,460,032 + 1,803,645,576 = 16,761,144,464 B (stat, 2026-10-23), plus config, tokenizer, chat_template.jinja, model.sig, README. sha256 of the shards: the blob names are the LFS sha256s (e.g. shard 1 3e86d760…6913).
  • How: the first mlx_lm convert --hf-path ibm-granite/granite-guardian-4.1-8b downloaded a partial snapshot and failed with IncompleteSnapshotError after quantising. The retry ran snapshot_download(SRC, max_workers=8) first. Blob mtimes 2026-09-09 11:37–11:49 local.
  • Date / who asked: 2026-09-09; Alan, "can we convert granite?".

How it was served

Never served. No run-log label.

Decisions

  • Downloaded as conversion input only. Kept because nothing has swept the HF cache's Guardian entry (it survived the 2026-09-16 and 2026-10-11 sweeps).
  • Not a publish candidate (IBM's own upload).

What went wrong

  • Partial-snapshot conversion on the first attempt: mlx_lm quantised an incomplete snapshot ("Quantized model with 3.906 bits per weight") and then failed to write.

What happened to it

Downloaded 2026-09-09 → used for mixed_3_6, 8-bit and bf16 MLX builds (2026-09-09) and the 4-bit build (2026-09-11) → on disk at .cache/huggingface/hub/models--ibm-granite--granite-guardian-4.1-8b (16 GB by du, checked 2026-10-23). Re-downloadable from HF at that revision.
