GGUF quantization of nex-agi/Nex-N2-mini — a 35B MoE agentic model (3B active) built on Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-Base with 256 experts, Gated DeltaNet hybrid attention, 262K context, and 27-layer vision encoder.

Quantized to NVFP4 format for efficient inference with minimal quality loss.

About NVFP4

NVFP4 is NVIDIA's native 4-bit floating-point format (E4M3) for Blackwell GPUs. It stores weights in FP4 with a shared per-block scale, enabling native Blackwell tensor core acceleration with no dequantization overhead during inference.
