There were actually multiple bugs which impacted long context benchmarks and general inference - I helped fix some of them.
1. RMS norm eps was 1e-6, but should be 1e-5 - see https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/37418 https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/37418
2. Llama 4 Scout changed RoPE settings after release - conversion script for llama.cpp had to be fixed. See https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/12889 https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/12889
3. vLLM and the Llama 4 team found QK Norm was normalizing across entire Q & K which was wrong - accuracy increased by 2%. See https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/16311 https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/16311
If you see https://x.com/WolframRvnwlf/status/1909735579564331016 https://x.com/WolframRvnwlf/status/1909735579564331016 - the GGUFs I uploaded for Scout actually did better than inference providers by +~5% on MMLU Pro. https://docs.unsloth.ai/basics/tutorial-how-to-run-and-fine-tune-llama-4 https://docs.unsloth.ai/basics/tutorial-how-to-run-and-fine-... has more details
- jychang 1y agoDo you think there are more bugs in Llama 4 at this time? Or have the bugs been patched, and the current version of llama.cpp + whatever the latest GGUF version is would be representative of the true performance of Llama 4? I see you've uploaded new Maverick GGUF/safetensors files yesterday, along with a lot of other models like Deepseek R1, was there an issue with the older model files?
