Qwen3-53B-A3B-2507-TOTAL-RECALL-v2-MASTER-CODER [256k context]

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 model is for all use cases, but excels in CODING and programming in all major programming languages and many minor ones too.
This model is based on Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507 (MOE, 128 experts, 8 activated), with Brainstorm 40X (by DavidAU) - details at bottom of this page.
The Brainstorm adapter will improve general performance and "out of the box" thinking.
This creates a model of 53B parameters, 84 layers and 1011 tensors.
This version has the NATIVE context of 256k.
This is a non-reasoning/non-thinking block model.
I have included an optional system prompt to invoke "thinking" in this model, if you want to activate it.
For coding, programming set expert to:
- 6-8 for general work.
- 10 for moderate work.
- 12-16 for complex work, long projects, complex coding.
- And for longer context, and/or multi-turn -> increase experts by 1-2 to help with longer context/multi turn understanding.
- Suggest min context window 4k to 8k.
Recommended settings:
- Rep pen 1.05 to 1.1 ; however rep pen of 1 will work well (may need to raise it for lower quants/fewer activated experts)
- Temp .3 to .6 (+- .2)
- Topk of 20, 40 or 100
- Topp of .95 / min p of .05
- Suggest min context window 4k to 8k.
- System prompt (optional) to focus the model better.
This is the refined version -V1.4- from this project (see this repo for all settings, details, system prompts, example generations etc etc):
https://huggingface.co/DavidAU/Qwen3-55B-A3B-TOTAL-RECALL-Deep-40X-GGUF/
This version 2 is slightly smaller, with further refinements to the Brainstorm adapter and uses the new "Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507".

OPTIONAL SYSTEM PROMPT - INVOKE "Thinking":
Enable deep thinking subroutine. 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 ###ponder### ###/ponder### tags, and then provide your solution or response to the problem.
Use this to INVOKE "thinking" block(s) in the model. These will be a lot shorter than 1000s of tokens generally in most "thinking" models.
In you use this prompt, you may need to raise "rep pen" to 1.08 to 1.1, to prevent "loops" in the "thought block(s)" ; especially in lower quants.
If you change "ponder" to a different word/phrase this will affect model "thinking" too.

Quickstart
The code of Qwen3-MoE has been in the latest Hugging Face transformers
and we advise you to use the latest version of transformers
.
With transformers<4.51.0
, you will encounter the following error:
KeyError: 'qwen3_moe'
The following contains a code snippet illustrating how to use the model generate content based on given inputs.
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_name = "Qwen/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507"
# load the tokenizer and the model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_name,
torch_dtype="auto",
device_map="auto"
)
# prepare the model input
prompt = "Give me a short introduction to large language model."
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
messages,
tokenize=False,
add_generation_prompt=True,
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
# conduct text completion
generated_ids = model.generate(
**model_inputs,
max_new_tokens=16384
)
output_ids = generated_ids[0][len(model_inputs.input_ids[0]):].tolist()
content = tokenizer.decode(output_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
print("content:", content)
For deployment, you can use sglang>=0.4.6.post1
or vllm>=0.8.5
or to create an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint:
- SGLang:
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path Qwen/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507 --context-length 262144
- vLLM:
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507 --max-model-len 262144
Note: If you encounter out-of-memory (OOM) issues, consider reducing the context length to a shorter value, such as 32,768
.
For local use, applications such as Ollama, LMStudio, MLX-LM, llama.cpp, and KTransformers have also supported Qwen3.
Agentic Use
Qwen3 excels in tool calling capabilities. We recommend using Qwen-Agent to make the best use of agentic ability of Qwen3. Qwen-Agent encapsulates tool-calling templates and tool-calling parsers internally, greatly reducing coding complexity.
To define the available tools, you can use the MCP configuration file, use the integrated tool of Qwen-Agent, or integrate other tools by yourself.
from qwen_agent.agents import Assistant
# Define LLM
llm_cfg = {
'model': 'Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507',
# Use a custom endpoint compatible with OpenAI API:
'model_server': 'http://localhost:8000/v1', # api_base
'api_key': 'EMPTY',
}
# Define Tools
tools = [
{'mcpServers': { # You can specify the MCP configuration file
'time': {
'command': 'uvx',
'args': ['mcp-server-time', '--local-timezone=Asia/Shanghai']
},
"fetch": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-server-fetch"]
}
}
},
'code_interpreter', # Built-in tools
]
# Define Agent
bot = Assistant(llm=llm_cfg, function_list=tools)
# Streaming generation
messages = [{'role': 'user', 'content': 'https://qwenlm.github.io/blog/ Introduce the latest developments of Qwen'}]
for responses in bot.run(messages=messages):
pass
print(responses)
Best Practices
To achieve optimal performance, we recommend the following settings:
Sampling Parameters:
- We suggest using
Temperature=0.7
,TopP=0.8
,TopK=20
, andMinP=0
. - For supported frameworks, you can adjust the
presence_penalty
parameter between 0 and 2 to reduce endless repetitions. However, using a higher value may occasionally result in language mixing and a slight decrease in model performance.
- We suggest using
Adequate Output Length: We recommend using an output length of 16,384 tokens for most queries, which is adequate for instruct models.
Standardize Output Format: We recommend using prompts to standardize model outputs when benchmarking.
- Math Problems: Include "Please reason step by step, and put your final answer within \boxed{}." in the prompt.
- Multiple-Choice Questions: Add the following JSON structure to the prompt to standardize responses: "Please show your choice in the
answer
field with only the choice letter, e.g.,"answer": "C"
."

Settings: CHAT / ROLEPLAY and/or SMOOTHER operation of this model:
In "KoboldCpp" or "oobabooga/text-generation-webui" or "Silly Tavern" ;
Set the "Smoothing_factor" to 1.5
: in KoboldCpp -> Settings->Samplers->Advanced-> "Smooth_F"
: in text-generation-webui -> parameters -> lower right.
: In Silly Tavern this is called: "Smoothing"
NOTE: For "text-generation-webui"
-> if using GGUFs you need to use "llama_HF" (which involves downloading some config files from the SOURCE version of this model)
Source versions (and config files) of my models are here:
OTHER OPTIONS:
Increase rep pen to 1.1 to 1.15 (you don't need to do this if you use "smoothing_factor")
If the interface/program you are using to run AI MODELS supports "Quadratic Sampling" ("smoothing") just make the adjustment as noted.

What is Brainstorm?
Brainstorm 40x
The BRAINSTORM process was developed by David_AU.
Some of the core principals behind this process are discussed in this scientific paper : Progressive LLaMA with Block Expansion .
However I went in a completely different direction from what was outlined in this paper.
What is "Brainstorm" ?
The reasoning center of an LLM is taken apart, reassembled, and expanded.
In this case for this model: 40 times
Then these centers are individually calibrated. These "centers" also interact with each other. This introduces subtle changes into the reasoning process. The calibrations further adjust - dial up or down - these "changes" further. The number of centers (5x,10x etc) allow more "tuning points" to further customize how the model reasons so to speak.
The core aim of this process is to increase the model's detail, concept and connection to the "world", general concept connections, prose quality and prose length without affecting instruction following.
This will also enhance any creative use case(s) of any kind, including "brainstorming", creative art form(s) and like case uses.
Here are some of the enhancements this process brings to the model's performance:
- Prose generation seems more focused on the moment to moment.
- Sometimes there will be "preamble" and/or foreshadowing present.
- Fewer or no "cliches"
- Better overall prose and/or more complex / nuanced prose.
- A greater sense of nuance on all levels.
- Coherence is stronger.
- Description is more detailed, and connected closer to the content.
- Simile and Metaphors are stronger and better connected to the prose, story, and character.
- Sense of "there" / in the moment is enhanced.
- Details are more vivid, and there are more of them.
- Prose generation length can be long to extreme.
- Emotional engagement is stronger.
- The model will take FEWER liberties vs a normal model: It will follow directives more closely but will "guess" less.
- The MORE instructions and/or details you provide the more strongly the model will respond.
- Depending on the model "voice" may be more "human" vs original model's "voice".
Other "lab" observations:
- This process does not, in my opinion, make the model 5x or 10x "smarter" - if only that was true!
- However, a change in "IQ" was not an issue / a priority, and was not tested or calibrated for so to speak.
- From lab testing it seems to ponder, and consider more carefully roughly speaking.
- You could say this process sharpens the model's focus on it's task(s) at a deeper level.
The process to modify the model occurs at the root level - source files level. The model can quanted as a GGUF, EXL2, AWQ etc etc.
