Bonsai 27B oQ2e S32 Calibration Smoke
Experimental calibration artifact. Not a quality release. Do not use this model to judge Bonsai quality or as a production checkpoint.
Experiment family and current status
This is one public checkpoint in an unfinished MLX/oMLX compatibility and quantization experiment:
- BF16 config-repaired archival baseline
- oQ2e S32 calibration smoke — this repository
- oQ4e S32 calibration smoke
The experiment remains incomplete until maintained MLX/MLX-LM/oMLX support can load and generate through the relevant Bonsai paths without the current local compatibility patches, explicit calibration proxies, or imatrix-boundary workarounds. The larger predeclared evaluations follow that runtime gate.
The Hub's approximately 3B badge counts packed quantized storage tensors. It does not mean this is a newly trained 3B model; the logical source architecture is Bonsai 27B.
This repository preserves the first bounded oQe 2-bit output that loaded and generated normally on a 32 GB Apple Silicon host. Its purpose is reproducible pipeline evidence and storage, not a recommended deployment target.
What this proves
- An oQe-enhanced 2-bit MLX artifact could be produced from the public BF16 conversion baseline and loaded by the local oMLX runtime.
- The 32-sample calibration completed with 496 imatrix entries.
- On fixed 10-question smoke screens it scored HellaSwag 7/10 and ARC-Challenge 6/10.
- Single-request oMLX generation measured 15.71 tok/s at a 1,024-token prompt and 15.44 tok/s at 4,096 tokens, with cache disabled.
What this does not prove
The sensitivity stage was intentionally minimal: 2 samples of 64 tokens. The artifact has not passed the predeclared 100-question evaluations or a quality-sized sensitivity pass. It must not be compared with a validated Q4, Q8, oQ4, or oQ8 checkpoint as though it were a quality result.
Reproduction Parameters
oq_imatrix_report.json, PROVENANCE.json, and the included IMATRIX_CACHE_SHA256.npz record the exact emitted artifact and calibration evidence. The NPZ is archival provenance; it is not needed to run the model.
