nytopop/Qwen3-30B-A3B.w8a8

Int8 quant for optimized performance on Ampere.

usage with sglang

Currently, upstream sglang doesn't load this quant correctly due to a few minor issues. Until upstream is fixed, a working fork is available at https://github.com/nytopop/sglang/tree/qwen-30b-a3b:

uv venv --python 3.12

# use patched sglang from git
uv pip install "git+https://github.com/nytopop/sglang.git@qwen-30b-a3b#subdirectory=python[all]" --find-links https://flashinfer.ai/whl/cu124/torch2.5/flashinfer-python

# run
uv run python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path nytopop/Qwen3-30B-A3B.w8a8 --quantization w8a8_int8 --reasoning-parser qwen3
