BTL-4 — ROCmFP4 STRIX GGUF — AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 / Strix Halo / gfx1151

First ROCmFP4 quantization of [`badtheorylabs/BTL-4`](https://huggingface.co/badtheorylabs/BTL-4) that exists anywhere (verified against the Hub before publish). Built for AMD Ryzen AI Max+ / Strix Halo (gfx1151).

BTL-4 is a Qwen3.5 MoE vision model: architecture Qwen3_5MoeForConditionalGeneration / model_type: qwen3_5_moe, 40 layers, 256 experts / 8 active, hidden 2048, shared-expert 512, vocab 248320. Upstream text_config.mtp_num_hidden_layers: 0 — there is no MTP head. Do not enable speculative / MTP drafting against this file; a spec flag with no tensors is a silent garbage drafter.

Same architecture family as KAT-Coder-V2.5-Dev (8-of-256 active-param shape), which is where ROCmFP4 STRIX already beat Q4KM on Strix Halo. This build reproduces that pattern on BTL-4.

Files

File	Notes
`BTL-4-Q4_0_ROCMFP4_STRIX.gguf`	Text MoE trunk, recipe 105 (`Q4_0_ROCMFP4_STRIX`)
`mmproj-BTL-4-F16.gguf`	Vision projector (F16), load with `-mm` / `--mmproj`

Single-shard: 17.39 GiB text + 0.84 GiB mmproj. Under the HF 50 GB file cap — no split.

Measured A/B (gfx1151, 128 GB unified, ROCm)

Equal conditions for both quants:

—Binary: charlie12345/ROCmFPX Laguna Strix export `6255cc8` (export: Laguna Strix ROCmFP4 recipe on top of charlie12345/ROCmFPX@3edc3d3)
—Runtime: -dio, HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=11.5.1, GGML_HIP_ENABLE_UNIFIED_MEMORY=1, -ngl 999, --no-warmup, --ignore-eos
—256-token generations, nonce-prefixed prompts (prefix cache defeated; `cache_n == 0` asserted every run)
—3-run medians; Q4_K_M baseline run twice (noise control)
—Quality: greedy (temp 0, top_k 1), thinking disabled via chat template kwargs, 10 prompts

Size

Artifact	Bytes	BPW (real)
Upstream BF16 (HF)	70,242,700,904	bf16
F16 GGUF intermediate	69,376,637,024	16.01
This ROCmFP4 STRIX	18,664,879,904	4.31 (dry-run + build; advertised ~4.49)
Same-model Q4KM control	21,166,757,664	4.88

STRIX is −11.8% smaller than the Q4KM control.

Decode throughput (tok/s, median of 3)

Context	Q4_K_M A	Q4_K_M B	ROCmFP4 STRIX	vs doubled baseline
~8K prompt	54.28	54.02	61.06	+12.8%
~32K prompt	46.59	46.72	51.83	+11.1%

Prompt-eval medians (tok/s): STRIX 1146.8 @8K / 857.4 @32K; Q4KM ~1105 / ~835.

Quality (10-prompt greedy battery)

	Score
ROCmFP4 STRIX	10 / 10
Q4KM	10 / 10

Equal quality, clear speed win, smaller file → ship.

Recipe notes

—Prefer `Q4_0_ROCMFP4_STRIX` (105) over _STRIX_LEAN (106): same speed class, better quality headroom on this fork’s prior Strix A/Bs.
—Real dry-run BPW was 4.31, not the type’s advertised ~4.49. Always read dry-run.
—Converted from the official BF16 with the fork’s convert_hf_to_gguf.py (Qwen3_5MoeForConditionalGeneration + --mmproj). No `--mtp`.

Launch (Strix Halo / gfx1151)

bash

env HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=11.5.1 \
    GGML_HIP_ENABLE_UNIFIED_MEMORY=1 \
  llama-server \
    -m BTL-4-Q4_0_ROCMFP4_STRIX.gguf \
    --mmproj mmproj-BTL-4-F16.gguf \
    -ngl 999 -dio --no-warmup --jinja \
    -c 32768 --parallel 1 \
    --temp 0.0 --top-k 1

Do not pass MTP / speculative draft flags. Upstream has zero MTP layers.

Requires a ROCmFP4-capable llama.cpp build (ROCmFPX / Laguna Strix recipe), not stock llama.cpp alone, for the ROCmFP4 tensor types.

Compiled from Hugging Face repository metadata — file sizes, shipped files, quant variant as named by each repo. No third-party build was run or benchmarked here, so this table makes no speed or quality claim about any of them. It is here so you can see the size and format options at a glance and pick what fits your hardware.
