Qwen3-30B-A4.5B-12-Cooks

This repo contains the full precision source code, in "safe tensors" format to generate GGUFs, GPTQ, EXL2, AWQ, HQQ and other formats. The source code can also be used directly.

This is a simple "finetune" of the Qwen's "Qwen 30B-A3B" (MOE) model, setting the experts in use from 8 to 12 (out of 128 experts).

This reduces the speed of the model, but uses more "experts" to process your prompts and uses 4.5B (of 30B) parameters instead of 3B (of 30B) parameters. Depending on the application you may want to use the regular model ("30B-A3B"), and use this model for MORE COMPLEX use case(s).

Regular or simpler use cases may benefit from using the normal version.

Using 12 experts instead of the default 8 will slow down token/second speeds about about 1/3 or so.

Context size: 32K + 8K for output (40k total)

Use Jinja Template or CHATML template.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Due to the unique nature (MOE, Size, Activated experts, size of experts) of this model GGUF quants can be run on the CPU, GPU or with GPU part "off-load", right up to full precision.
• This model is difficult to Imatrix : You need a much larger imatrix file / multi-language / multi-content (ie code/text) to imatrix it.
• GPU speeds will be BLISTERING 4x-8x or higher than CPU only speeds AND this model will be BLISTERING too, relative to other "30B" models (Token per second speed equal roughly to 4.5B "normal" model speeds).

OPTIONAL SYSTEM ROLE:

You may or may not need this, as most times Qwen3s generate their own reasoning/thinking blocks.

You are a deep thinking AI, you may use extremely long chains of thought to deeply consider the problem and deliberate with yourself via systematic reasoning processes to help come to a correct solution prior to answering. You should enclose your thoughts and internal monologue inside <think> </think> tags, and then provide your solution or response to the problem.

See document "Maximizing-Model-Performance-All..." below for how to "set" system role in various LLM/AI apps below.

IMPORTANT: Highest Quality Settings / Optimal Operation Guide / Parameters and Samplers

If you are going to use this model, (source, GGUF or a different quant), please review this document for critical parameter, sampler and advance sampler settings (for multiple AI/LLM aps).

This a "Class 1" (settings will enhance operation) model:

For all settings used for this model (including specifics for its "class"), including example generation(s) and for advanced settings guide (which many times addresses any model issue(s)), including methods to improve model performance for all use case(s) as well as chat, roleplay and other use case(s) (especially for use case(s) beyond the model's design) please see:

[ https://huggingface.co/DavidAU/Maximizing-Model-Performance-All-Quants-Types-And-Full-Precision-by-Samplers_Parameters ]

REASON:

Regardless of "model class" this document will detail methods to enhance operations.

If the model is a Class 3/4 model the default settings (parameters, samplers, advanced samplers) must be set for "use case(s)" uses correctly. Some AI/LLM apps DO NOT have consistant default setting(s) which result in sub-par model operation. Like wise for Class 3/4 models (which operate somewhat to very differently than standard models) additional samplers and advanced samplers settings are required to "smooth out" operation, AND/OR also allow full operation for use cases the model was not designed for.

BONUS - Use these settings for ANY model, ANY repo, ANY quant (including source/full precision):

This document also details parameters, sampler and advanced samplers that can be use FOR ANY MODEL, FROM ANY REPO too - all quants, and of course source code operation too - to enhance the operation of any model.
