Quantized from unsloth/GLM-4.7-Flash-REAP-23B-A3B-GGUF (BF16) using the Infiniteon Algebra associator to guide mixed-precision allocation: 20% of the weights (the shared expert and attention tensors) are quantized to 4-bit (Q4_K), and the remaining 80% to 3-bit (Q3_K). This achieves Q4-level generation quality at near-Q3 size, fitting a 23B-parameter MoE model inside 12 GB VRAM with a 150K context window.

Why this works: The associator of the Infiniteon algebra identifies which weight tensors carry structural "gap-crossing" information — the tensors that connect diverse token neighborhoods. On MoE models, these are exactly the shared expert and attention tensors, which are used on every token. By allocating 4-bit precision to these structurally critical tensors and 3-bit to the rest, the model preserves the directional diversity needed for coherent generation while keeping the overall size near Q3. This is the first Q3Q4-based quantization of this model that generates without looping or repetitive collapse.

Research and credits: This research was conducted by TNT.Chat (https://ai.tnt.chat) as part of our LOCAL AI effort to bring larger models onto consumer hardware. The target is a capable coder model running on 12 GB VRAM for VS Code usage with a 150,000-token context window. Additional models targeting RTX 5090 and RTX 6000 PRO (full GLM-4.7 218B REAP) are in progress.

GLM-4.7-Flash-REAP-23B-A3B

✨ Highlights

Introducing GLM-4.7-Flash-REAP-23B-A3B, a memory-efficient compressed variant of GLM-4.7-Flash that maintains near-identical performance while being 25% lighter.

This model was created using REAP (Router-weighted Expert Activation Pruning), a novel expert pruning method that selectively removes redundant experts while preserving the router's independent control over remaining experts. Key features include:

• Near-Lossless Performance: Maintains almost identical accuracy on code generation, agentic coding, and function calling tasks compared to the full 30B model
• 25% Memory Reduction: Compressed from 30B to 23B parameters, significantly lowering deployment costs and memory requirements
• Preserved Capabilities: Retains all core functionalities including code generation, agentic workflows, repository-scale understanding, and function calling
• Drop-in Compatibility: Works with vanilla vLLM - no source modifications or custom patches required
• Optimized for Real-World Use: Particularly effective for resource-constrained environments, local deployments, and academic research

🚀 Deployment

You can deploy the model directly using the latest vLLM (that supports GLM4.7-Flash), no source modifications or custom patches required.

vllm serve cerebras/GLM-4.7-Flash-REAP-23B-A3B \
    --tensor-parallel-size 4 \
    --reasoning-parser glm45 \
    --tool-call-parser glm47 \
    --enable-auto-tool-choice

If you encounter insufficient memory when running this model, you might need to set a lower value for --max-num-seqs flag (e.g. set to 64).

🧩 Model Creation

This checkpoint was created by applying the REAP (Router-weighted Expert Activation Pruning) method uniformly across all Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) blocks of GLM-4.7, with a 25% pruning rate.

How REAP Works

REAP selects experts to prune based on a novel saliency criterion that considers both:

• Router gate values: How frequently and strongly the router activates each expert
• Expert activation norms: The magnitude of each expert's output contributions

This dual consideration ensures that experts contributing minimally to the layer's output are pruned, while preserving those that play critical roles in the model's computations.

Key Advantages

• One-Shot Compression: No fine-tuning required after pruning - the model is immediately ready for deployment
• Preserved Router Control: Unlike expert merging methods, REAP maintains the router's independent, input-dependent control over remaining experts, avoiding "functional subspace collapse"
• Generative Task Superiority: REAP significantly outperforms expert merging approaches on generative benchmarks (code generation, creative writing, mathematical reasoning) while maintaining competitive performance on discriminative tasks

Calibration

The model was calibrated using a diverse mixture of domain-specific datasets including:

• Code generation samples (evol-codealpaca)
• Function calling examples (xlam-function-calling)
• Agentic multi-turn trajectories (SWE-smith-trajectories)
