Instructions to use HCHs/RivetCoder-9B-A4B-FP8 with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use HCHs/RivetCoder-9B-A4B-FP8 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="HCHs/RivetCoder-9B-A4B-FP8", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("HCHs/RivetCoder-9B-A4B-FP8", trust_remote_code=True, device_map="auto")

  Triton grouped-FP8 and activation-quantization kernels are Copyright 2026 The

  adaptation adds per-output scales, TorchAO expert-bank packing, deterministic
  Top-4 reduction, direct FP8 Linear dispatch using the checkpoint's existing
  qdata/scales, and automatic Windows MSVC environment discovery.

Modifications and new work include GLM expert selection, a fixed tied
identity-Hadamard bridge, expert/router weight folding, per-layer Top-4 routing,
token gating, bounded residual scaling, Qwen-supervised routing-control training,
the custom `fuse_glm` Transformers implementation, and the inference-only
grouped-FP8 serving runtime shipped in this repository.
