Notes

320B MoE (18B active), 288 routed + 1 shared expert per layer, mHC + DSA, 1 MTP layer.
Q4_K: all routed experts at Q4_K.
Q2_K: routed down experts at Q4_K, gate/up experts at Q2_K.
Q2_K_S: all routed experts at Q2_K (smallest).
Small non-expert tensors (embeddings, attention, shared experts, dense FFN) are kept at Q8_0.
Includes a Q8_0 mmproj for the vision encoder and MTP sidecars (Q8_0 / Q4_0) for speculative decoding.
The Q2_K / Q2_K_S expert tensors are calibrated with the imatrix from https://huggingface.co/AesSedai/GLM-5.3-Flash-GGUF
