The bulk of Kimi-K2.6's parameters are stored with 4 bits per weight, not 16 or 32. There are a few parameters that are stored with higher precision, but they make up only a fraction of the total parameters.

Huh, cool. I guess that makes a lot of sense with all the success the quantization people have been having.
So am I misunderstanding "Tensor type F32 · I32 · BF16" or is it just tagged wrong?
The MoE experts are quantized to int4, all other weights like the shared expert weights are excluded from quantization and use bf16.
I32 are 8 4-bit value packed into one int32.
