Quality is the published perplexity delta against f16 weights. Max context assumes an f16 KV cache; q8_0 roughly doubles it. Only 7 of its 42 blocks keep a per-token KV cache; the rest are linear-attention, Mamba or convolution blocks with a fixed-size state. This model uses multi-head latent attention, so its cache is a compressed latent rather than full K and V.

01Download is 69.7 GB. Keep it on an SSD — a first load off a spinning disk takes minutes.
02With no GPU, thread count matters more than clock. Start at one thread per physical core.
03There is room to go to the model's full 256K context on this card.
