| # Carnice-9B — hipfire quantized |
|
|
| [kai-os/Carnice-9b](https://huggingface.co/kai-os/Carnice-9b) quantized for [hipfire](https://github.com/Kaden-Schutt/hipfire), a Rust-native inference engine for AMD RDNA GPUs. |
|
|
| Carnice is a Hermes tool-use finetune of Qwen3.5-9B with browser, terminal, and reasoning capabilities. |

| | File | Quant | Size | Speed (5700 XT) | Notes | |
| |------|-------|------|-----------------|-------| |
| | `carnice-9b.hf4` | HF4 (4-bit) | 4.5 GB | ~41 tok/s | Faster, fits 8GB VRAM | |
| | `carnice-9b.hf6` | HF6 (6-bit) | 6.9 GB | ~32 tok/s | Better quality, needs 8GB | |

| ## Usage |
|
|
| ```bash |
| # Install hipfire |
| curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kaden-Schutt/hipfire/master/scripts/install.sh | bash |
| |
| # Pull and run |
| hipfire pull carnice:9b # HF4 (default) |
| hipfire pull carnice:9b-hf6 # HF6 (higher quality) |
| hipfire run carnice:9b |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## About |
|
|
| Carnice uses the Hermes chat template with `<tool_call>` XML tags for function calling. hipfire passes these through as regular tokens — the model generates tool calls naturally within the ChatML format. |
|
|
| Same DeltaNet hybrid architecture as base Qwen3.5. JIT-compiles for any AMD GPU (RDNA 1-4, APUs). |
