Bias and Safety

⚠️ Important: This model inherits biases from the base Qwen3 model:

May reflect biases present in training data
Can generate harmful or misleading content
Should not be used without human oversight
Not suitable for high-stakes decision making

Recommended: Always review and validate model outputs, especially for:

Code (security vulnerabilities, bugs)
Factual claims (hallucinations possible)
Sensitive topics (bias, fairness issues)

Quantization Details

FP16 Components (11.5 GB):

Attention layers: 48 × 4 projections × ~50MB = ~9.6 GB
Router: 48 × 1MB = ~48 MB
LM Head: ~300 MB
Coding Experts: 9 × 3 projections × 48 layers × ~4MB = ~5.2 GB
Embeddings & Norms: ~600 MB

Q4 Components (10.8 GB):

Non-Coding Experts: 119 × 3 projections × 48 layers × ~1.5MB = ~10.8 GB
- Stored as: quantized weights (uint32) + scales (FP16) + biases (FP16)
- Group size: 64
- Effective compression: ~4x vs FP16

Implementation Files

The model requires custom implementation files:

qwen3_moe_hetero.py - Model definition
- Model class (main model)
- HeteroSwitchGLU (mixed-precision MoE)
- load_hetero_v3() loader function
mlx_lm_hetero_generate.py - CLI tool
- MLX-compatible generation CLI
- Same interface as mlx_lm generate
