Highlights
- Repository name identifies a 27B JEV decision model quantized to W4A4 NVFP4 with mixed FP8.
- Ships a chat template that renders tool calls as XML <tool_call> blocks.
- Chat template exposes reasoning effort settings: xhigh (default), medium, and low.
- Template handles image and video content blocks alongside text.
- Hosted on Hugging Face under the HangGlidersRule account.
Questions about this entry
Short answers drawn from the linked project or page.
It is a Hugging Face model repository for a 27B JEV decision model checkpoint quantized with ModelOpt using a W4A4 NVFP4 mixed-FP8 scheme, published under the HangGlidersRule account.
Download the repository files from Hugging Face and load them with a runtime that supports the NVFP4 and mixed FP8 quantization formats. The repository includes the tokenizer and chat template needed for prompting.
Yes. The template renders available functions inside a <tools> block and expects calls in <tool_call> XML with a nested <function=...> block and <parameter=...> entries, and it rejects calls with a suffix after the closing tag.
The template accepts reasoning_effort values of xhigh (the default), medium, and low, and raises an exception for any other value. Each setting injects a different instruction into the system message.
The template includes branches for image and video content items, emitting vision start, pad, and end tokens. System messages that contain images or videos raise an exception instead of rendering.
The provided metadata does not state a license. Check the repository page on Hugging Face for the license and any usage restrictions before redistributing or deploying the weights.
If your runtime or hardware lacks support for W4A4 NVFP4 and mixed FP8 kernels, or if you need full-precision weights for further training, use an unquantized JEV checkpoint instead.
