This model was built with Kimi-K2.6 model by applying [AMD-Quark](https://quark.docs.amd.com/latest/index.html) for NVFP4 quantization.

# Model Quantization

The model was quantized from [moonshotai/Kimi-K2.6](https://huggingface.co/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.6) using [AMD-Quark](https://quark.docs.amd.com/latest/index.html). The weights and activations are quantized to NVFP4.

**Quantization scripts:**
```
cd Quark/examples/torch/language_modeling/llm_ptq/
export output_dir=amd/Kimi-K2.6-NVFP4
exclude_layers="*self_attn* *mlp.gate *mlp.gate.linear *lm_head *mlp.gate_proj *mlp.up_proj *mlp.down_proj *mm_projector* *vision_tower*"
python3 quantize_quark.py --model_dir $MODEL_DIR \
                          --quant_scheme nvfp4 \
                          --num_calib_data 128 \
                          --exclude_layers $exclude_layers \
                          --model_export hf_format \
                          --output_dir $output_dir \
                          --trust_remote_code \
                          --multi_gpu balanced 
```

# Deployment
### Use with vLLM

This model can be deployed efficiently using the [vLLM](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/) backend.

## Evaluation
The model was evaluated on GSM8K and MMLU_PRO benchmarks.

### Reproduction

The GSM8K and MMLU_PRO results were obtained using the `lm-evaluation-harness` framework, based on the Docker image `rocm/vllm-dev:nightly_main_20260603`.

Install the lm-eval `(Version: 0.4.12)` in container first.
```
pip install lm-eval[api]
```

#### Launching server
```
export VLLM_ROCM_USE_AITER=1
vllm serve amd/Kimi-K2.6-NVFP4 -tp 8 \
  --mm-encoder-tp-mode data \
  --tool-call-parser kimi_k2 \
  --reasoning-parser kimi_k2 \
  --enforce-eager \
  --trust-remote-code
```
