How it was made
- What is on record: the lab's runtime note says
Squish INT8 - BLOCKED by an unresolved ImportError in its server subprocessand gives the workaround commandln -sfn models/Qwen3-8B-bf16 models/Qwen3-8B-int8-bf16, so a squished directorymodels/Qwen3-8B-int8(Squish's naming:<squished-dir>-bf16is its config/tokenizer sibling) must have existed. Nothing else survives: no size, no date, no conversion command, no listing. - Source: the BF16 safetensors (Qwen3-8B BF16 safetensors (mlx-community)).
- Existence is inferred; no
lsof the directory is on record, and the next evidence (2026-09-07) shows it gone.
How it was served
| label | dates (UTC) | binary and version | ctx / -np / KV / -fa / --jinja / --reasoning-format | harness profile | why this label exists |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| none — failed to serve | 2026-08-11/12 | Squish (squish-venv) | n/a | none | attempted INT8 leg of the runtime comparison; server subprocess died on an AutoTokenizer ImportError even with transformers<5 |
Decisions
- Dropped when INT8 could not be served; INT3 was used instead (per a lab note).
What went wrong
- The
AutoTokenizerImportError in Squish's server subprocess (a lab note's changelog, item 7). Cost: the INT8 row of the runtime table; fix: none, INT3 substituted. - Standing checks: not applicable.
What happened to it
Made 2026-08-11/12 (inferred) -> failed to serve -> gone by 2026-09-07 -> no RESTORE entry. Not re-creatable without a BF16 download and Squish; command not on record.
