KAT-Coder-V2.5-Dev · REAP-50 — GGUF

GGUF quants of the 50%-REAP-pruned KAT-Coder-V2.5-Dev (Gated-DeltaNet + MoE

hybrid): 256 → 128 experts, ~19B parameters, no MTP head.

• Flagship (NVFP4A16, vLLM): Ttimms/KAT-Coder-V2.5-Dev-REAP-50-NVFP4A16
• Pruned bf16 source: Ttimms/KAT-Coder-V2.5-Dev-REAP-50-bf16
• Pipeline + benchmarks: <https://github.com/t-timms/kat-coder-nvfp4>

Base-model quality (NVFP4A16 quant, greedy, instruct): HumanEval+ ~90%, MBPP+ ~90%. These are single greedy draws; the accuracy harness has a measured run-to-run spread of 1.85–4.27 pp per task (2026-09-05), so read small differences as unresolved.

| File | Quant | Size | Notes |

|---|---|--:|---|

| kat-reap50-Q4_K_M.gguf | Q4_K_M | 11.4 GB | recommended — fits 16 GB with room for context |

| kat-reap50-Q5_K_M.gguf | Q5_K_M | 13.3 GB | higher quality, tighter KV budget |

| kat-reap50-Q6_K.gguf | Q6_K | 15.3 GB | near-lossless; little headroom on 16 GB |

| kat-reap50-Q8_0.gguf | Q8_0 | 19.7 GB | needs >16 GB or CPU offload |

MoE with ~3B active parameters — CPU / Apple-Silicon inference is fast for the size.

For full precision, re-quantizing, or merging, use the

pruned bf16 source

and run convert_hf_to_gguf.py --no-mtp yourself.

Run it in

• llama.cpp — llama-server -m <file>.gguf -ngl 99
• LM Studio (bundles a recent llama.cpp)
• koboldcpp
• Jan
• text-generation-webui
• Ollama — once its bundled llama.cpp includes this arch (see Requirements)

Requirements

Needs a recent llama.cpp (the qwen35moe hybrid arch). Verified with

llama-server from a source build. Ollama support pending its bundled-llama.cpp bump.

llama-server -m kat-reap50-Q4_K_M.gguf -ngl 99 --port 8080

The chat template defaults to thinking on; pass

"chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": false} for direct output.
