Libraries

How to use KronosLabs/Iapetus-v2-Kernel-NVFP4 with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="KronosLabs/Iapetus-v2-Kernel-NVFP4")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("KronosLabs/Iapetus-v2-Kernel-NVFP4")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("KronosLabs/Iapetus-v2-Kernel-NVFP4")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Docker Model Runner
How to use KronosLabs/Iapetus-v2-Kernel-NVFP4 with Docker Model Runner:
```
docker model run hf.co/KronosLabs/Iapetus-v2-Kernel-NVFP4
```

Iapetus-v2-Kernel is a 80-billion parameter coding model for Assembly (ptxas, arm, and x86), Cuda, C, C++ by Kronos Labs, fine-tuned on top of Qwen3-Coder-Next's Hybrid attention layout. It was trained on closed source datasets containing synthetically generated and verified code. We hope to spur interest in LLM's capable of performant low-level programming.

The model contains the following layout:

Size: 80B Parameters, A3B (3 Billion Active)

Depth: 48 layers

Hybrid layout: 12 * (3 * (Gated DeltaNet -> MoE) -> 1 * (Gated Attention -> MoE))

MoE: 512 experts, 10 activated experts, 1 shared expert

Context Length: 262,144 native

This repo contains the model in use at nvfp4 quantization.
