This quants are specific for the DS4 inference engine. They may work with other inference engines or not (they should, but not the MTP model which requires a specific loader).

For theq4file, only the three routed-expert classes change toQ4\_K. Everything else is byte-for-byte identical to the q2 recipe.
The motivation behind the asymmetry: the routed experts are the majority of the parameter count but each individual expert handles only a fraction of tokens, so aggressive quantization on them costs less in average quality than the same treatment of router, projections, or shared experts. Keeping the decision-making components atQ8\_0preserves model behavior; crushing the experts buys the size.
