Qwen3 8B parity GGUF (Q8_0)

Same-origin GGUF parity artifact for Qwen/Qwen3-8B, produced for backend comparison work in mesh-llm.

  • Source checkpoint: Qwen/Qwen3-8B
  • Conversion flow: original checkpoint -> GGUF f16 -> GGUF Q8_0
  • Intended pair: meshllm/qwen3-8b-parity-8bit-mlx

This repo is for backend-parity testing rather than for claiming best overall model quality.
