Qwen3.5-0.8B — Function Calling (xLAM) — GGUF

GGUF quantizations of `ermiaazarkhalili/Qwen3.5-0.8B-Function-Calling-xLAM`, a function-calling fine-tune trained on Salesforce's xLAM dataset and converted with llama.cpp.

Conversion note. The published source repo stores bitsandbytes 4-bit (nf4) weights, which llama.cpp cannot convert directly. These GGUFs were therefore built from the full-precision merged checkpoint produced during training, so they reflect the model's fp16 weights rather than a re-quantized 4-bit copy.

Available quantizations

Recommended default: Q4_K_M. For maximum fidelity use Q8_0; for the smallest footprint use Q4_K_M (no lower-bit quants are published for this model).

Usage

llama.cpp

# One-shot
llama-cli -hf ermiaazarkhalili/Qwen3.5-0.8B-Function-Calling-xLAM-GGUF --jinja -p "Your prompt here" -n 256

# Interactive chat
llama-cli -hf ermiaazarkhalili/Qwen3.5-0.8B-Function-Calling-xLAM-GGUF --jinja -cnv

from llama_cpp import Llama

llm = Llama.from_pretrained(
    repo_id="ermiaazarkhalili/Qwen3.5-0.8B-Function-Calling-xLAM-GGUF",
    filename="*q4_k_m.gguf",
    n_ctx=4096,

    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}],

Intended use

Research and non-commercial experimentation with structured function / tool calling. Prompt the model with a user request plus the available tool schemas; it emits a function call. Verify all emitted calls before executing them downstream.

Limitations

• —GGUF quantizations carry unavoidable quality loss relative to the source weights; prefer Q8_0 when fidelity matters.
• —Inherits every limitation of the source checkpoint (`ermiaazarkhalili/Qwen3.5-0.8B-Function-Calling-xLAM`).
• —Function-calling behaviour is shaped by the 60 schema families in the training set; performance on out-of-distribution APIs may degrade.
