JEV-9B Core AI W8A16

An independent Apple Core AI conversion of the JEV-9B text backbone with 8-bit weights and fp16 activations for on-device generation on Apple silicon; it excludes the System 1 decision head, calibration and vision.

Highlights

  • 9.5 GB of Core AI assets: eight 921 MB block bundles, a 1.08 GB head and a 1.02 GB int8 embedding table, all W8A16.
  • Contains only the Qwen3.5-9B text backbone: no LoRA adapter, 24-slot decision head or calibration, so it cannot make calibrated typed decisions.
  • Context shrinks to 2,048 positions via a K/V ring cache, far below the original 262,144; the wrap-around is untested.
  • Tested on macOS 27.2 with a 24 GB M5; the Python reference host runs about 6 tokens/s and dominates the measured speed.
  • Apache-2.0 inherited from JEV-9B; converted by silv4souz4, unaffiliated with AutoTrust, TypeSafe, Alibaba/Qwen or Apple.

Quickstart

bash
hf download silv4souz4/jev-9b-coreai-w8 --local-dir jev9b
pip install numpy tokenizers
python jev9b/host/jev_coreai_host.py jev9b "The capital of France is" 24

Watch out

Card reviewed 2026-10-17; quality was measured on three short texts (71 and 227 tokens) against the transformers implementation rather than on benchmarks, the ~6 tokens/s figure is an uncontrolled host-bound observation, iOS is untested, and the assets deliberately exclude the JEV System 1 decisions this catalog is about.
