alt Hacker NewsFair enough, appreciate the detailed response! Can you elaborate why other quantizations weren't affected (e.g. bartowski)? Simply because they were straight Q4 etc. for every layer?

No Bartowski's are more affected - (38% NaN) than ours (22%) - for MiniMax 2.7 see https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1slk4di/minimax...
We already fixed ours. Bart hasn't yet but is still working on it following our findings.
blk.61.ffn_down_exps in Q4_K or Q5_K failed - it must be in Q6_K otherwise it overflows.
For the others, yes layers in some precision don't work. For eg Qwen3.5 ssm_out must be minimum Q4-Q6_K.
ssm_alpha and ssm_beta must be Q8_0 or higher.
Again Bart and others apply our findings - see https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rgel19/new_qwe...
