Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 — BitClass3 Mixed-Precision GGUF

Mixed-precision GGUF quantizations of Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507. BitClass3 keeps the Hessian-sensitivity front-end to set each level's bit budget, but hands the per-tensor allocation to an error-minimizing solver (built on llama.cpp's --target-bpw) that assigns a quant type to every tensor to minimize imatrix-weighted quantization error at the target size.

Available Quantizations

KLD vs the BF16 source is the primary quality metric (mean and the robust 99.9th percentile); wikitext-2 perplexity is reported alongside.

File	BPW	Size	wiki PPL ↓	KL-mean ↓	KL-99.9% ↓	Use Case
`Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507-Q8_0.gguf`	8.5	4.28 GB	9.194	0.0015	0.042	Near-lossless reference
`Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507-Q6_K.gguf`	5.9	2.94 GB	9.223	0.0096	0.297	High quality
`Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507-Q5_K_M.gguf`	5.3	2.65 GB	9.275	0.0198	0.496	Balanced quality and size
`Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507-Q4_K_M.gguf`	4.6	2.33 GB	9.495	0.0495	1.017	Best quality-to-size ratio
`Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507-Q3_K_S.gguf`	3.5	1.78 GB	10.642	0.2132	3.186	Maximum compression

Recommended: Q4_K_M — KL-mean 0.049 at 2.33 GB; within 3.3% of Q8_0 wiki PPL at 54% of the size.

How It Compares

Same harness, same metrics, against our previous BitClass2 release of this model (at each ladder level; BitClass3 levels carry slightly higher BPW by design of the recipe targets):

Level	BitClass2 (BPW / wiki PPL / KL-mean)	BitClass3 (BPW / wiki PPL / KL-mean)
Q4_K_M	4.67 / 9.676 / 0.0641	4.63 / 9.495 / 0.0495
Q6_K	5.84 / 9.234 / 0.0109	5.85 / 9.223 / 0.0096
Q8_0	8.52 / 9.195 / 0.0015	8.52 / 9.194 / 0.0015

At matched Q4_K_M BPW, BitClass3 cuts KL-mean by ~23% and improves wiki PPL — the error-minimizing allocation spending the same bit budget where it reduces divergence most.

Key Sensitivity Findings (Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507)

blk.34 (late layer) is most sensitive — the opposite end of the network from Qwen3.5-9B (blk.3). Model-specific Hessian data matters; you cannot assume the same layers are critical across models.
Attention K projections are consistently ≥ V in sensitivity.
The sensitivity profile sets each level's bit budget; the per-tensor split inside that budget is solved by the error-minimizing allocator.

How It Works

Hessian sensitivity — compute H_diag = mean(X²) per layer on calibration data; this sets each level's overall bit budget.
Error-minimizing per-tensor allocation — an imatrix-weighted solver (llama.cpp --target-bpw) assigns a quant type to every tensor to minimize total quantization error at the target BPW.
imatrix — importance matrix computed over wikitext guides the per-tensor error.
GGUF export — produced with stock llama-quantize.

Benchmark Details

NVIDIA GB10 ATOM (128 GB unified memory, aarch64). llama.cpp with --target-bpw (PR #15550). KLD via llama-perplexity --kl-divergence against BF16-source logits over wikitext-2 (mean / median / 99.9th percentile reported; the single-token KL-max is omitted as an unstable order statistic). wikitext-2 PPL via llama-perplexity -c 2048. Downstream (HellaSwag / WinoGrande / ARC / MMLU) tracked internally.
