LingBot-World V2 14B Causal Fast — Hybrid NVFP4
This is an unofficial, transformer-only hybrid NVFP4 quantization of
robbyant/lingbot-world-v2-14b-causal-fast-diffusers,
created for single-GPU live-inference experiments on NVIDIA Blackwell.
It is not a standalone Diffusers pipeline. Download the base repository for
the tokenizer, text encoder, VAE, scheduler, and pipeline metadata, then use
this repository as the replacement transformer path.

What is quantized
This is deliberately labelled hybrid NVFP4, not full-model NVFP4:
- 340 transformer weights are packed NVFP4.
- 430 weights remain at higher precision for runtime compatibility.
- 1,020 ModelOpt scale tensors are included.
- The eight-shard transformer export is 28,310,448,928 bytes.
- The LingBot camera-conditioning linears and unsupported boundary layers are
retained at higher precision.
config.json contains the complete ModelOpt quantization configuration and
ignored-layer list. build.json records the export counts and versions.
Tested environment
| Component | Tested value |
|---|
| GPU | NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition (SM120, 96 GB) |
| GPU power limit | 498.6 W |
| OS | WSL2 / Ubuntu |
| Python | 3.12.3 |
| PyTorch | 2.11.0 |
| SGLang | 0.5.15 plus the included compatibility patch |
| ModelOpt | 0.45.0 |
| FlashAttention | 4.0.0b21 |
Stock SGLang 0.5.15 will not load this checkpoint correctly without
patches/sglang-0.5.15-lingbot-nvfp4-sm120.patch. The patch fixes ModelOpt
exclusion-prefix matching and propagates quantization prefixes into causal Wan
cross-attention and FFN layers.

The tested SM120 configuration also used

paths must match the local PyTorch/SGLang installation.
Measured performance
Measurements below are from one RTX PRO 6000 limited to 498.6 W, four
inference steps, guidance scale 1.0, sink 9, KV window 18, WebP transport, and
no CPU offload.
| Workload | Throughput | Median chunk | First frame | Peak VRAM |
|---|
| 384×192 warm | 21.158 unpaced E2E FPS | 568 ms | 1.969 s | 52,254 MiB |
| Character portrait 240×448 | 14.098 E2E / 14.210 generated FPS | 856 ms | 2.446 s | 55,941 MiB |
The 384×192 result was 23.0% faster than the measured FP8 baseline of 17.196
E2E FPS. A clean SM120 CUTLASS kernel cache incurred a one-time 99.177-second
first request; subsequent warm requests started in about two seconds.
These are low-resolution engineering throughput measurements, not advertised
native-quality results. In the 240×448 character test, broad identity and the
red/blue hair split remained recognizable, but faces and eyes were visibly
smeared and the raised hand had fused fingers. Use a native resolution and
perform independent quality evaluation for production decisions.
