| Experimental **AMD Strix Halo (gfx1151)** quant of [**microsoft/FastContext-1.0-4B-SFT**](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/FastContext-1.0-4B-SFT) — Microsoft's **repository-exploration subagent** for coding agents. Instead of one model both exploring the repo and solving the task, FastContext is invoked on demand by a main agent, fires **parallel read-only tool calls** (READ / GLOB / GREP), and returns **compact file paths + line ranges** as focused context. Architecturally it's a plain **Qwen3 dense 4B** (`Qwen3ForCausalLM`, 36 layers, hidden 2560, 256K context, MIT-licensed), here in the custom **ROCmFP4** 4-bit format, **imatrix-quantized**. | |

| Two builds. The **★ speed build** keeps the quality lever that's actually *felt* — genuine **f16 embeddings (from BF16), which also serve as the output head since the model ties them** — on the fast single-scale `q4_0_rocmfp4_fast` body + a code-weighted imatrix (see §04): the best speed/quality balance for Strix Halo. The **Q6 · agent fidelity build** uses the 6-bit `q6_0_rocmfpx` body on the **ROCmFPX agent profile** (which protects the structured-output pathways — attention K/V at Q6_K/Q5_K, more FFN-down boosted) + a bm25-weighted imatrix: a bit larger/slower, but the closest to BF16 for precise tool-call/code output. Both have the Qwen (ChatML) chat template **baked in** — just pass `--jinja`. | |

| FastContext isn't a general chat model — it's a **repository-exploration subagent** meant to be **called by your main coding agent**, not driven directly. The intended loop: the main agent delegates "find the relevant context for X" → FastContext issues **parallel read-only tool calls** (`READ`, `GLOB`, `GREP`) → returns **compact file paths + line ranges**, which the main agent folds into its own context to do the actual work. The point is to keep repo-exploration tokens *out* of the main agent's window. | |
| - **Chat template:** Qwen (ChatML) is baked into the GGUF — just pass `--jinja`. | |
| - **Tool calling:** it emits structured `READ`/`GLOB`/`GREP` calls — wire those tools into your harness and use a Qwen/Hermes-style tool-call parser so they're parsed rather than printed. **See the [upstream model card](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/FastContext-1.0-4B-SFT) for the exact subagent protocol + tool schema** (it expects a specific invocation format). | |
| - **Sampling:** temp `0.7`, top-p `0.8`, top-k `20` (Qwen3 instruct defaults) — already set in §02. | |

| <b>NOTE //</b> It's small (4B) and fast (~68 t/s, §04) by design — a cheap, disposable explorer you can fan out in parallel next to a larger main model on the same box. The cross-turn reuse cache (<code>--cache-reuse</code> / <code>--cache-ram</code>) keeps repeated exploration over the same repo cheap. | |

| **This is the best speed/quality balance in ROCmFP4 — by design, not the absolute fastest.** It keeps the one quality lever that's actually *felt* — genuine **f16 embeddings**, which on this model **double as the output head** (`tie_word_embeddings=True`), so a single f16 tensor sharpens both the input and output side at near-zero decode cost (it's a lookup, not a matmul) — on top of the fast single-scale `q4_0_rocmfp4_fast` body + a code-weighted imatrix. A leaner Q5-embedding build would shave a couple tok/s but degrades that lever; we keep full f16. | |
| We didn't re-run the entire rocmfp4 lever sweep on this 4B. We ran it exhaustively on the larger **[Qwen3.6-27B](https://huggingface.co/plunderstruck/Qwen3.6-27B-MTP-ROCmFP4-GGUF)** — KL divergence vs the BF16 reference plus `llama-bench` decode across an all-dual-scale body, selective higher-precision tensors, and full f16 embeddings. The finding there: **an all-dual-scale body and selective higher-precision tensors both cost decode speed for a KL improvement that sat inside the measurement noise**, so the fast single-scale body + f16 embeddings is the balance point. That conclusion carries to FastContext — same format, same kernels — so we ship the one build that lands on it rather than a slower variant that wins KL only inside the noise. | |

| <b>WANT MAXIMUM FIDELITY INSTEAD OF SPEED?</b> Grab the <b><code>…-Q6_0_ROCMFPX_AGENT-bm25imatrix.gguf</code></b> in this repo — a 6-bit ROCmFPX body on the agent profile (structured-output tensors protected), the closest to BF16 here.

| **Fast on its own.** ~68 t/s short-context decode on a Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (Vulkan0, measured `llama-bench tg128`). It's a 4B dense Qwen3 with **no MTP head**, so there's no speculative decoding — it doesn't need it, and at 4B it's a cheap explorer you can run several of in parallel. | |
