Source: https://huggingface.co/nota-ai/Solar-Open2-250B-Nota-NVFP4 Nota AIpresents a 4-bit quantized release ofUpstage’sSolar Open2 250B, produced with Nota AI’s proprietary quantization technology specialized for Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) large language models.
https://huggingface.co/nota-ai/Solar-Open2-250B-Nota-NVFP4#highlightsHighlights
- NVFP4 (4-bit float, W4A4)—
group\_size=16, packed in thellm\-compressor(compressed-tensors) format for direct serving invLLM. Both weights and activations are quantized to 4-bit floating point.- > **Requires NVIDIA Blackwell.**NVFP4 relies on the FP4 tensor cores introduced in the Blackwell architecture (e.g. B200 / GB200), so inference must run on a Blackwell-class GPU. Earlier architectures (Hopper, Ada, Ampere) do not support NVFP4 execution. - Nota AI’s proprietary MoE quantization framework.This release is built upon a suite of techniques developed by Nota AI to preserve model quality under aggressive low-bit quantization of MoE architectures:- A MoE-specialized calibration-dataset construction method, which achieved1st place across all tracksat the NVIDIA Nemotron Hackathon. - DREAM-MoEandSRA-MoE, two quantization algorithms proposed by Nota AI (published at theICML 2026 Workshop on AdaptFM), which preserve MoE routing decisions and align expert-routing behavior throughout the quantization process.
