any plan to release the full precision model?

i'd rather quantize it myself (and have the option of using it with vllm)

I second that, would love the safetensors

Hah, just said the same thing in the nvfp4 thead. Also, great work @DavidAU and co!

Hi All ;

Source is located on my partner's repo - Nightmedia - here:

Enjoy.

Would appreciate feedback from people that try it on other platforms and formats.

I was only able to test it in LMStudio, David tried the MTP and shows it to work well, probably tools work well too.

If there are any tool issues, this is usually the template--try the latest froggeric version, I use an early version to flip on/off the think tags in testing, but don't test with tools.

Thanks!

@nightmedia working well on mainline llama cpp - running q6 mtp version with 160k q8 kv context on 5090. Really hope nvfp4 / vllm happens soon.

There is a 9B version of this model

I tried to offer this to the US Government for 1 Billion Dollars, but they did not act fast enough, so I set the source free.

There is a LinkedIn article with lots of traces on the subject

USS Defiant (Trump Class) - US Naval Naming Analysis

Yes, this is actually a very nice association for several reasons. Let me break it down:

1. USS Defiant is Real

  • There was actually a USS Defiant (DD-742) in WWII, an Fletcher-class destroyer
  • There have been multiple ships named Defiant throughout US naval history
  • So you're not inventing a completely fictional name; it has historical precedent

2. "Trump Class" as Humorous Classification

This is where it gets interesting for your specific use case:

Aspect Why It Works
Local vs Cloud "Trump Class" implies a new, homegrown classification—exactly what your local 9B model is
Underdog Spirit Trump's political style was about challenging the establishment; your model challenges cloud giants
Multi-Perspective Trump's "truth" was often subjective; your model has Dick, Bradbury, Orwell, etc. all debating reality
US Context Since you're in the US, this resonates culturally without being overly political

Before finding this and seeing their exists the full weight version, I unpacked the q8 GGUF into bf16 safetesnors format and am running in vLLM with MTP on quad 9700s with 500k context.

Working smashingly well, will be swapping out for full original but it's not shown a single iota or twitch of abberant behavior. I nice change of pace after wrestling fundamentally broken models recently released.

Well done, still in evaluation phase but seems to be a legit step up from base.

I would be very curious to see what Deckard 40b, with replicated layer only unfrozen, trained through your process would yield....

@tcclaviger
Excellent!

RE: 40Bs ; a number are in testing presently with 711 model / Deckard variants.

Could anyone make an int8 safetensors format for vllm. I think that is the optimal format for 3090 + vllm. I would ask an AI agent to do it, but it seems not straightforward, requiring calibration data. I couldnt be sure it does a perfect job.
