Model Card for RWKV-Qwen3-32B-Hybrid-GGUF

This model requires a custom fork of llama.cpp with RWKV079 implementation

Model Overview

Model Name: RWKV-Qwen3-32B-Hybrid-GGUF
Repository: OpenMOSE/RWKV-Qwen3-32B-hxa079-Low
Format: GGUF (for llama.cpp) with imatrix quantization
Year: 2025
Release phase: alpha

Description

RWKV-Qwen3-32B-Hybrid-GGUF is an experimental large language model that combines the strengths of traditional transformer architecture with the efficiency of RWKV (Receptance Weighted Key Value) mechanisms. This model is specifically optimized for inference in memory-constrained environments while maintaining excellent context length capabilities.

Technical Specifications

Model Parameters

• Parameter Count: 32 Billion parameters
• Architecture: RWKV079 + GQA (Grouped-Query Attention) Hybrid Linear Attention
• Base Model: Alibaba Qwen3-32B
• Suitable Ctx Length: 32768 (passkey up to 80k)
• Layers: 56 RWKV, 8 NoPE GQA

Key Innovation

The model achieves remarkable efficiency by:

• Converting 87.5% of attention layers from the base Qwen3-32B model to RWKV architecture
• Reducing KV (Key-Value) cache size to 1/8 of the original
• Enabling superior long-context inference in VRAM-limited environments

Performance Benefits

Compared to the base model, RWKV-Qwen3-32B-Hybrid offers:

• 2-4x longer context length capability (theoretical)
• 2-4x larger batch size for simultaneous inference
• Significantly reduced memory footprint while maintaining model quality

Installation and Usage

Prerequisites

This model requires a custom fork of llama.cpp with RWKV079 implementation, based on mollysophia's RWKV7 implementation.

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/OpenMOSE/llama.cpp
cd llama.cpp
git checkout hxa079

Building the Project(Linux)

For CUDA (NVIDIA GPUs):

cmake -B build -DGGML_CUDA=ON
cmake --build build --config Release

For ROCm (AMD GPUs):

First, identify your GPU architecture:

• AMD Radeon RX 79xx series → gfx1100
• AMD Instinct MI300 series → gfx942
• AMD Instinct MI100 → gfx908

Then build with the appropriate target:

HIPCXX="$(hipconfig -l)/clang" HIP_PATH="$(hipconfig -R)" \
cmake -S . -B build -DGGML_HIP=ON -DAMDGPU_TARGETS=gfx1100 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
&& cmake --build build --config Release -- -j 16

Note: Replace gfx1100 with your GPU's architecture code

Running the Model

Standard Inference:

./build/bin/llama-cli -m YOUR_MODEL_PATH --jinja -fa 1

With KV Cache Quantization:

./build/bin/llama-cli -m YOUR_MODEL_PATH --jinja -fa 1 -ctv q8_0 -ctk q8_0

Extreme Low VRAM Mode(fit to 16GB GPU):

./build/bin/llama-cli -m YOUR_MODEL_PATH --jinja -fa 1 -ctv q8_0 -ctk q8_0 --override-tensor "time_mix_g1=CPU,time_mix_g2=CPU,time_mix_w1=CPU,time_mix_w2=CPU"

Important: The --jinja flag enables non-inference mode by default. To use inference mode, you'll need to prepare and apply a separate Jinja template.

Important Limitations and Notes
