⚡ BugTraceAI-CORE-Ultra (27B) — Q4_K_S

The tooling answer the community asked for.

"Seems good for chat, but it's completely unusable with tools." — Community feedback on Apex

CORE-Ultra is the fix. Built on Qwen3.6-27B — the architecture the community specifically requested — and fine-tuned via SFT on 2,541 real-world bug bounty reports, CVE writeups, and offensive security research. It generates complete, functional, self-contained artifacts. Every time.


🔧 What is a Tooling Model?

A tooling model is optimized for generating complete, executable artifacts rather than explaining concepts. When you ask it for a Nuclei template, you get a ready-to-run YAML. When you ask for a CVE PoC, you get a working Python script. When you ask for a code review, you get CVSS scores and a bypass exploit — not a paragraph about why the vulnerability is dangerous.

This is fundamentally different from a reasoning model (like Apex), which excels at multi-step analysis, threat modeling, and chain-of-thought investigation. Both are valuable — but they solve different problems:

You need... Use
A working Nuclei template Ultra
A Python PoC for a CVE Ultra
A JWT cracker with alg:none bypass Ultra
A PHP webshell upload bypass Ultra
Deep analysis of a kernel exploit chain Apex
MITRE ATT&CK threat modeling Apex
C2 infrastructure design Apex

This variant: BugTraceAI-CORE-Ultra-SFT-Q4_K_S.gguf — IMatrix-guided Q4_K_S quantization. Best balance of size and quality for consumer GPUs.


🗺️ BugTraceAI Ecosystem

Model Params Architecture Role
CORE Fast 7B Qwen2.5-Coder Fast triage, CLI, first-pass tooling
CORE Pro 12B Mistral Nemo Balanced analysis and reporting
CORE Ultra Q4 27B Qwen3.6 SFT Heavy tooling — recommended
CORE Ultra Q6 27B Qwen3.6 SFT Heavy tooling — high fidelity
Apex 26B MoE Gemma 4 Deep reasoning, chain-of-thought analysis

When to use Ultra vs Apex:

  • Need a Nuclei template, Python PoC, JWT cracker, or webshell bypass? → Ultra
  • Need to reason through a complex kernel exploit chain, design C2 infrastructure, or produce a strategic MITRE ATT&CK analysis? → Apex

� Minimum Hardware Requirements

Getting a 27B model running well on consumer hardware is not trivial — it requires careful quantization. The IMatrix-guided Q4_K_S used here preserves quality in the most critical weight layers, so you get near-F16 performance at a fraction of the VRAM cost.

Q4_K_S — 15 GB (Recommended)

  • Minimum: RTX 3090 (24 GB VRAM) — full GPU offload, fast inference
  • RTX 4090 (24 GB) — same, slightly faster
  • RTX 4080 (16 GB) — runs with reduced context (2048–4096)
  • A4000 (16 GB) — workstation-grade, solid for pipelines
  • 2× RTX 3060 (12 GB) — split layers across GPUs with -ts flag
  • CPU fallback: 64 GB+ RAM — slower but fully functional

Q6_K — 21 GB (High Fidelity)

  • Minimum: RTX 3090 / A5000 (24 GB VRAM) — tight fit, recommended 4096 ctx
  • A6000 (48 GB) — comfortable full offload
  • H100 / A100 (80 GB) — server-grade, full context at speed

Practical tip for llama-server:

# RTX 3090/4090 — full GPU offload
./llama-server -m model.gguf -ngl 99 -c 4096 --port 8080

# RTX 4080 16GB — partial offload
./llama-server -m model.gguf -ngl 28 -c 2048 --port 8080

The fact that this model runs on a single consumer GPU is the result of significant quantization work — IMatrix calibration on a domain-specific security corpus ensures the quality loss is minimal where it matters most.
