Model Card

AXQuant CUDA NVFP4 W4A4 mixed precision development preview. Converted from the original upstream BF16 source, without AWQ. Native E2M1 FP4 weights and inputs use per-16 E4M3FN scales and FP32 global scales. This is a retrieval embedding checkpoint, with no MTP or generative claim. Eligible attention and MLP matrices use NVFP4 W4A4. Embeddings and norms retain original BF16. Saved query: / passage: prefixes, bidirectional attention, mean pooling and L2 normalization. The native vLLM Ministral alias retains iscausal=false and every actual attention layer is verified as encoder-only. Factory conversion uses AXQuant's NumPy reference RTN encoder, independently checked against preserved BF16…
