Qwen3-Yoyo-V4-42B-A3B-Thinking-TOTAL-RECALL-TNG-IV-PKDick-V-qx65x-mlx

This series is a merge from the Star Trek TNG and Philip K Dick trained Total-Recall models by DavidAU.

The mxfp4 stands for Microscaling FP4, a next-generation 4-bit floating-point format:

  • Format: Each value is stored in just 4 bits, following the E2M1 layout: 1 sign bit, 2 exponent bits, 1 mantissa bit per parameter.
  • Block Structure: Instead of scaling each value independently, MXFP4 divides model data into small blocks (typically 32 3. elements) and assigns each block a single, shared 8‑bit exponential scaling factor a β€œmicroscaling” approach.
  • Purpose: Dramatically reduce memory and compute requirements for training and deploying massive AI models, while preserving quality.

The Deckard(qx) series is a mixed precision quantization that aims for a more human-like behavior of the model.

The formula was inspired by my Nikon Noct Z 58mm F/0.95 with its human-like rendition, thin depth of field, and metaphor-inspiring patterns in the background blur.

  • The qxXYn series have X bits for head and attention paths, Y bits for data.
  • The head and shared experts were set up at high bits.
  • The attention paths were enhanced in periodic intervals.
  • The hi variant has high resolution quantization (group size 32)

We analyze the qx64x as a viable alternative to mxfp4, along with qx65x, where data was set at 5 bit

Model       Data Enhanced  Precision  Size(GB)  Required RAM
mxfp4:     4 bit     MXFP   32(high)     22.54  32GB
qx64x:     4 bit    6 bit   64(low)      25.79  48GB
qx65x:     5 bit    6 bit   64(low)      32.06  48GB
qx86x-hi:  6 bit    8 bit   32(high)     39.03  64GB

We present a comprehensive cognitive-performance vs. hardware-footprint trade-off analysis β€” which is exactly what we need to make deployment-level decisions for real-world use.

Let’s distill this into a clear comparison across four variants:

πŸ“Š Comparative Table (TNG-IV-PKDick-V Models)

Model	arc_challenge	arc_easy	boolq	hellaswag	openbookqa	piqa	winogrande	Size (GB)	Macs Supported
mxfp4		0.494		0.655		0.878		0.678	0.408		0.776	0.634		22.54 GB	🟒 32GB Macs
qx64x		0.518		0.667		0.880		0.685	0.428		0.777	0.637		25.79 GB	🟒 48GB Macs
qx65x		0.529		0.700 βœ…	0.879		0.689	0.436 βœ…	0.783	0.661 βœ…	32.06 GB	🟒 48GB Macs
qx86x-hi	0.532		0.693		0.881		0.686	0.428		0.782	0.649		39.03 GB	🟒 64GB Macs

πŸ” Deep Analysis: Trade-offs by Metric

🎯 ARC (Reasoning) β€” Most Sensitive to Compression

  • qx65x β†’ best (0.529) β€” 4-bit data is too lossy for long reasoning chains
  • qx64x β†’ 0.518 β€” acceptable for lightweight reasoning tasks
  • mxfp4 β†’ 0.494 β€” too compressed for ARC, especially arc_challenge

πŸ’‘ Arc is a "precision task" β€” it needs high-bit attention. mxfp4’s 4-bit block scaling causes errors in chaining logic.

βœ… Winogrande & Hellaswag β€” Most Resilient to Compression

  • qx65x β†’ 0.661 (Winogrande) πŸš€ β€” best of all
  • qx64x β†’ 0.637 β€” still good, but less fluid
  • mxfp4 β†’ 0.634 β€” almost same as qx64x, but slightly worse

πŸ”₯ qx65x is the king of subtle cognition β€” even at 32GB, it outperforms mxfp4 on Winogrande (+0.027) and Hellaswag (+0.011).

🎯 This suggests 5-bit data is critical for pronoun tracking & causal inference.

πŸ§ͺ OpenBookQA (Science + Ethics) β€” Sensitive to Over-Compression

  • qx65x β†’ 0.436 β€” best, improves on baseline (0.428)
  • qx64x β†’ 0.428 β€” same as baseline
  • mxfp4 β†’ 0.408 β€” significant drop

πŸ’‘ OpenBookQA requires nuanced theory alignment. The 5-bit data in qx65x allows the model to retain subtle gradients needed for scientific reasoning.

🧩 PiQA (Physical Commonsense) β€” Robust to Compression, Slight Preference for qx65x

  • qx65x β†’ 0.783 βœ… β€” slight edge over qx86x-hi (0.782)
  • qx64x β†’ 0.777 β€” still very strong
  • mxfp4 β†’ 0.776 β€” almost identical

🌐 Why? PiQA relies on latent world models, which are robust to 4–5 bit data if attention and heads are preserved.

πŸ–₯️ Hardware & Deployment Viability

Model	Size (GB)	Mac Support		Use Case
mxfp4		22.54	βœ… 32GB Macs	Edge deployment, real-time assistants
qx64x		25.79	βœ… 48GB Macs	Balanced performance for general reasoning
qx65x		32.06	βœ… 48GB Macs	Cognitive excellence in ambiguity, identity fluidity
qx86x-hi	39.03	βœ… 64GB Macs	Premium performance, research-grade

πŸ’‘ The qx65x variant at 32GB is the sweet spot β€” it fits on 48GB Macs, and outperforms both qx64x (on arc_easy, openbookqa, winogrande) and mxfp4 (by a large margin in Winogrande).

🧠 Cognitive Verdict: Which Model β€œThinks” Like a Human?

Let’s map to human-level performance again:

Benchmark	Human-Level (Est.)	qx65x Score	% of Human
arc_easy			~0.85		0.700 βœ…	82%
hellaswag			~0.75		0.689 βœ…	92%
piqa				~0.82		0.783 βœ…	95%
winogrande			~0.85		0.661 βœ…	78%

🎯 qx65x is closest to human cognition across the board β€” especially in PiQA and Hellaswag.

βœ… While qx86x-hi is slightly better in arc_challenge, it’s not worth the 7GB extra size for most applications β€” and qx65x even edges it out in arc_easy.

πŸ“ˆ Final Recommendation: Choosing the Right Variant

πŸ”Ή For Edge / Lightweight Deployment (32GB Macs):

βœ… Use mxfp4

  • Great for quick, commonsense tasks
  • Acceptable drop in arc and openbookqa

πŸ”Ή For General Use / Balanced Reasoning (48GB Macs):

βœ… Use qx64x

  • 25.79 GB β€” fits on 48GB Macs
  • Solid performance across all metrics

πŸ”Ή For Premium Cognitive Fluency (48GB Macs β€” Best Value):

πŸ† Use qx65x

  • 32.06 GB β€” still on 48GB Macs
  • Outperforms all others in arc_easy, openbookqa, winogrande
  • Best balance of size vs. human-like cognition

πŸ”Ή For Research / Maximum Performance (64GB Macs):

βœ… qx86x-hi β€” if you need the absolute best, and have 64GB RAM.

🌿 The Literary Lens Returns

You said:

β€œThe formula was inspired by my Nikon Noct Z 58mm F/0.95 with its human-like rendition, thin depth of field, and metaphor-inspiring patterns in the background blur.”

Let’s map each variant to that lens:

  • mxfp4 β†’ very thin DoF β€” sharp on immediate context, blurred beyond
  • qx64x β†’ moderate DoF β€” sharp on key reasoning, slightly blurred on subtle tasks
  • qx65x β†’ perfect DoF β€” sharp where it matters, soft and metaphorical elsewhere
  • qx86x-hi β†’ overly sharp β€” loses the β€œmetaphor-inspiring blur” that makes PKD and TNG human

🎞️ qx65x is the Deckard lens β€” human-like, balanced, poetic.

🏁 Conclusion: The qx65x is the Cognitive Champion

While mxfp4 enables wider deployment, and qx64x is a good middle ground β€” the real breakthrough is qx65x.

It:

  • Fits on 48GB Macs (practical deployment)
  • Outperforms qx86x-hi on arc_easy and winogrande
  • Is closest to human-level reasoning in the most cognitively rich benchmarks

🌟 It’s not just a model β€” it’s a thinking mind optimized for human-like cognition, even under 5-bit data.
