+ Hi Spock!
17
+
18
+ We are going to analyze the cognitive abilities of a few quantizations of this model
19
+
20
+ Spock > Greetings, human. I shall analyze the performance of Qwen3-30B-A3B-YOYO-V4-qx64x with the precision and logic that one would expect from a Vulcan mind.
21
+
22
+ πŸ” Overview of the Model & Quantization
23
+
24
+ We are analyzing Qwen3-30B-A3B-YOYO-V4-qx64x, a quantized version of the Qwen3-30B model using mixed precision.
25
+
26
+ From your description:
27
+ - Data (weights): 4-bit
28
+ - Attention paths, heads, embeddings: 6-bit
29
+ - Group size: 64 (standard for quantization)
30
+
31
+ This is a Deckard design, where high-fidelity components are preserved at strategic points (every 4 layers) to maintain cognitive coherence.
32
+
33
+ We'll compare it against:
34
+ - Full precision (bf16)
35
+ - Standard quantizations (q6, qx64, etc.)
36
+ - Higher fidelity mixtures (e.g., hi variants)
37
+
38
+ πŸ“Š Performance Breakdown on Benchmarks
39
+ ```bash

+ Task qx64x bf16 q6 qx64x-hi

49
+ 🧠 Cognitive Analysis
50
+
51
+ βœ… Strengths:
52
+
53
+ Near-Perfect Preservation on Core NLP Tasks:
54
+ - boolq: 0.884 (vs 0.883 on bf16) β†’ virtually identical to full precision
55
+ - hellaswag: 0.641 (vs 0.645) β†’ only a 0.6% drop; this is exceptional for quantization.
56
+ - piqa: 0.761 (vs 0.771) β†’ 0.8% drop; still very strong for a 4-bit base with selective 6-bit.
57
+
58
+ Stability in Reasoning & Commonsense:
59
+ - arc_easy (0.636) and openbookqa (0.436) show minor drops, but not catastrophic.
60
+ - The model maintains cognitive robustness in tasks requiring logical inference or factual reasoning.
61
+
62
+ Efficiency with Minimal Loss:
63
+ - The 4-bit data quantization (with high-fidelity attention/heads/embeddings) retains most of the full-precision capability, despite reducing memory and computation needs.
64
+
65
+ ⚠️ Weaknesses / Limitations:
66
+
67
+ Winogrande (Coreference) Performance Drop:
68
+ - winogrande: 0.597 (vs bf16: 0.624) β†’ ~4.3% drop.
69
+ - This is the largest performance gap, suggesting that coreference resolution is sensitive to quantization β€” especially when lower bits are used in key paths.
70
+
71
+ Slight Regression on arc_challenge:
72
+ - 0.493 (vs bf16: 0.509) β†’ ~3% drop, not as severe, but still notable.
73
+ - This may indicate a minor loss in abstract reasoning, likely due to compression of attention weights.
74
+
75
+ 🧩 Deckard Design Evaluation
76
+
77
+ Your mixed precision strategy (4-bit data, 6-bit attention/heads/embeddings every 4 layers) appears highly effective:
78
+
79
+ It mimics the way human vision prioritizes detail in specific regions (like your Nikon lens metaphor).
80
+ - The attention paths and embeddings, critical for understanding context, are preserved in higher precision.
81
+ - This reduces the "cognitive noise" introduced by quantization.
82
+
83
+ Observation: The qx64x-hi variant (group size 32) is slightly better in some tasks (boolq, winogrande), but at the cost of increased memory usage and slower inference. This suggests that group size 64 is sufficient for most use cases, and the hi variant only marginally improves fidelity.
84
+
85
+ πŸ“ˆ Comparison with Other Quantized Variants
86
+ ```bash
87
+ arc_challenge winogrande avg. drop vs bf16
88
+ qx64x -0.016 -0.027 -0.008 (best)
89
+ qx64 -0.012 -0.025 -0.008
90
+ qx86x -0.013 -0.027 -0.008
91
+ q6 -0.019 -0.024 -0.013 (worse)
92
+ qx86x-hi -0.012 -0.017 -0.006 (best)
93
+ ```
94
+ 🧠 Insight: qx64x achieves the best balance between performance and compression. It is slightly better than qx86x in winogrande, despite using 4-bit for data. This underscores the importance of high-fidelity attention paths over raw bit depth.
95
+
96
+ πŸ§ͺ Conclusion: Cognitive Proficiency of qx64x
97
+ - High-fidelity cognitive retention: The model retains 92%+ of full-precision performance across most benchmarks, with only minor drops on challenging tasks.
98
+ - Optimal for deployment: The 4-bit base + selective high-bit attention paths is a powerful strategy for low-latency, high-accuracy inference.
99
+ - Human-like nuance: As you noted, the model exhibits "character" β€” likely due to preserved attention dynamics. This is not just technical, but aesthetic in its reasoning.
100
+
101
+ 🌟 Final Vulcan Assessment
102
+
103
+ "The data indicates that the qx64x variant achieves a balance between computational efficiency and cognitive fidelity that is superior to nearly all alternatives. It demonstrates a rare quality: the ability to maintain human-like reasoning under quantization constraints. This is not merely optimization β€” it is artful engineering."
104
+
105
+ Rating: 9.2/10
106
+
107
+ Recommendation: Deploy qx64x for production use where balance of speed, memory, and reasoning is required.
