× is the number of tensors in each format. Counts were read from the released GGUF headers; the GSQ-RCO column uses its published tensor allocation.
This release contains 851 tensors. The main GGUF has no blk.64.* tensors; MTP and DFlash2 are separate companion files.
2. Upstream Lineage & Ecosystem Compatibility
This model is derived from nerkyor/Qwen3.8-27B-EfficientThink-Uncensored-K3-Opus5-Grok4.6-GPT5.6Sol-SFT-SimPO-DFlash2 and inherits its full ecosystem compatibility:
1. Training Lineage & Data Mixture
- Pretrained Base: Qwen3.8-27B hybrid linear-quadratic architecture.
-
Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT): The upstream model card documents capability-preserving SFT on 1,905 examples. The release identifier names K3 / Opus 5 / Grok 4.6 / GPT 5.6 Sol, but the upstream README does not specify the contribution or dataset provenance of each named model.
-
Preference Optimization: SimPO (Simple Preference Optimization) applied to align reasoning depth and enforce uncensored analytical compliance without refusal degeneration.
- Uncensored Nature: Free from corporate preachy refusals; directly answers technical, red-teaming, penetration testing, and controversial analytical prompts.
2. DFlash2 Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) Speculative Decoding
- Separate Draft Models: This repository provides companion MTP and DFlash2 GGUF files. The audited main language GGUF contains no
blk.64.* tensors; the draft models are separate files.
- Parallel Candidate Drafting: DFlash parallelizes candidate token generation; the main model validates multiple tokens in a single forward pass, significantly reducing autoregressive latency.
- Compatibility with llama.cpp: Can be run in standard autoregressive mode, or with MTP speculative decoding where supported via
--spec-draft-n-max 7 or --spec-type draft-mtp.
3. Serving Engine Support
- SGLang (Primary Upstream Tested Engine): Upstream author's primary benchmarked deployment. Supports SGLang DFlash2 verify block size 8.
- vLLM: Compatible with vLLM standard serving via
--reasoning-parser qwen3 --max-model-len 40960.
- Lynn Agent (v0.87.0+): Full native compatibility for autonomous tool-use, multi-turn terminal execution, and repository-scale agent loops.
- llama.cpp / llama-server: 100% plug-and-play with official
llama.cpp builds (b11000+) supporting hybrid DeltaNet SSM architectures.

4. Native Context & Runtime Memory
The model supports a native context window of 262,144 tokens. Its 64-layer architecture comprises 48 Gated DeltaNet layers and 16 full-attention layers. Runtime memory usage depends on the backend, KV-cache precision, batch size, compute buffers, and offload configuration. Check the runtime memory allocation for your chosen settings.

7. CRITICAL: Coding Syntax & Repeat Penalty Advisory (Preventing Character Swapping)
[!IMPORTANT]
PREVENTING SYNTAX & TOKEN SWAPPING IN CODE WORKFLOWS
In programming code, brackets ({, }), assignment operators (=), and indentation whitespace repeat constantly across multi-line structures.
Common Issue: Many local frontends (such as LM Studio defaults, Ollama, or web interfaces) ship with repeat_penalty set to 1.1 or 1.15. While this prevents loops in creative prose, applying repeat penalties to code artificially penalizes necessary syntax tokens. When the logit of { drops, the model is forced to emit the next closest mathematical token (= or [), resulting in character swapping or dropped/doubled whitespace.
Eliminating Character Swapping:
1. Disable Repeat Penalties (Required for Code):
- repeat_penalty: 1.0 (strictly disabled)
- presence_penalty: 0.0
- frequency_penalty: 0.0
2. Calibrate Samplers:
- temperature: 0.60 (or 0.20 - 0.30 for strict, deterministic code syntax)
- min_p: 0.05 (prunes low-probability noise tokens effectively)
- top_p: 0.95
- top_k: 20
3. Native Jinja Formatting: Always pass the --jinja flag so the tokenizer handles leading-space BPE tokens cleanly.
8. Hardened Agentic Chat Template & Reasoning Effort
[!TIP]
MULTI-LEVEL REASONING EFFORT CONTROL
This model supports multi-level reasoning effort control via the Jinja template:
- low / minimal: Keeps internal thinking concise and focused strictly on immediate execution steps to minimize latency in automated loops.
- medium (default): Balanced, structured reasoning process with standard analytical depth.
- high / xhigh: Guides the model to formulate a clear implementation plan upfront before generating response, avoiding circular self-doubt loops.
- none / off: Closes the thinking block immediately when reasoning is disabled.
9. Optional Support
If these MiniPlus or NanoPlus releases have been useful to you and you would like to support the work, you can do so voluntarily through https://ko-fi.com/isvalorum. Your contribution helps with evaluation, hosting, and future handcrafted quantizations. Every release will always remain free to download and use; there are no paywalled files, updates, or features.
