This repository is the official Q4_K_M GGUF derivative of Frontis-MA1-30B. It is provided for practical local inference with llama.cpp.

It accompanies the paper Frontis-MA1: Training an AI4AI Model towards Recursive Self-Improvement in Machine Learning Engineering and the OpenRSI code release.

Only one quantization is published intentionally. Q4_K_M is the default local-deployment format for this release; the canonical BF16 Transformers weights remain in the base repository.

Quickstart

Tested conversion and inference tool: llama.cpp b9637, commit aedb2a5e9ca3d4064148bbb919e0ddc0c1b70ab3.

llama-cli \
  -m ./Frontis-MA1-30B-Q4_K_M.gguf \
  -ngl all \
  -c 32768 \
  -n 1024 \
  -cnv -st --simple-io \
  -p "Build a strong tabular classification baseline and explain the validation design."

Reduce -c when memory is limited. On systems that cannot offload all layers, set -ngl to a smaller value or let llama.cpp choose automatically.

The bundled chat template always begins an explicit thinking block. Allow sufficient -n budget for the model to finish thinking and produce its final answer.

Release validation

The final file passed SHA-256 verification, a full 579-tensor GGUF structure read, and a real llama-cli load-and-generate smoke with full GPU offload on one NVIDIA H200. This validates the release artifact and command path; it is not a consumer-hardware speed benchmark.

Scope and quality

• This is a lossy 4-bit quantization. Use the BF16 repository when maximum fidelity or paper-result reproduction is required.
• The paper's reported scores were obtained with the canonical model and the OpenMLE-Evo harness; they are not GGUF one-shot benchmark results.
• Generated code may be incorrect or unsafe. Execute it only in an isolated environment with explicit resource limits.

Paper result

The canonical BF16 model reaches 53.03% Medal Average and 0.7055 Human Rank with OpenMLE-Evo on the official 22-task MLE-Bench Lite split, compared with 34.85% and 0.5573 for its base model under the same harness. These are BF16 model–harness results, not GGUF one-shot scores.
