IQ2-mix

The one we kept: the model itself, squeezed to about 2 bits. Tested against its 4-bit and 1-bit siblings, never seated. ConwayResearch.

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.

No --mmproj on either start, so the vision projector was never loaded. The 64k / 16k-per-slot window is wider than the card's -c 32768. Never seated. Run-log runtime b11552 (23b0202a1) (runtime_source "props").

Decisions

  • Downloaded for the compression ladder and the bonsai2 replacement question.
  • Subset run, a decision made in Alan's absence.
  • Kept on disk, not seated. "Not a Mac Studio seat... Low priority either way" (SUMMARY.md).
  • Not published (third-party file).

What went wrong

  • Stopped gauntlet. The first run (all 17 suites, four in parallel) was killed at 15:26Z for speed. It took several attempts to stop; the final kill loop used STOP/KILL. Cost about 33 minutes. The partial files were left under the same label.
  • Partial rows published as complete (the tagger, tagger_nullable and needle rows). This should be fixed at the source: void them, or set attempted to the suite size.
  • Decode under 4-way load is not a speed measurement. The SUMMARY says so, and no clean number exists.
  • Standing checks: --jinja present; build stamp consistent; partial runs found (3).
