# Command-A-Plus-Lite (int2 experts / int4 resident)

Pre-quantized weights for running Cohere's **Command-A-Plus** (218B-parameter
Mixture-of-Experts, 25B active) on a **single 24GB GPU**.

| Component | Precision | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Routed experts (128/layer) | **int2**, group-wise (g=64) | CPU RAM, streamed per active expert |
| Attention q/k/v/o + shared experts + embedding | **int4**, group-wise (g=64) | GPU-resident |
| Router gate / layernorms | fp16 | GPU-resident |

```
weights on disk      ~67 GB
resident VRAM        ~8.4 GB
host RAM (pinned)    ~61 GB   (peaks ~108 GB during load)
decode speed         ~0.3 tok/s   (single 24GB GPU, --pin --gemlite)
```

Decode is **transfer-bound** (CPU→GPU expert streaming dominates), so this is a
capacity play — fitting a 218B model on one 24GB card — not a throughput one.

## Usage

Install the runtime: <https://github.com/kizuna-intelligence/Command-A-Plus-Lite>

```bash
pip install -e ".[gemlite]"
hf download kizuna-intelligence/Command-A-Plus-Lite --local-dir ./cmda_int4
```

```python
import torch
from command_a_plus_lite import load_quantized

model = load_quantized("./cmda_int4", device="cuda:0", dtype=torch.float16,
                       pin_experts=True, use_gemlite=True)
```

The tokenizer is **not** included here — use the one from the base model
[`CohereLabs/command-a-plus-05-2026`](https://huggingface.co/CohereLabs/command-a-plus-05-2026).

## License

The model weights are governed by **Cohere's license** for Command-A-Plus.
The runtime code is MIT (see the GitHub repository). int2 routed experts are
blind RTN (no calibration); quality is below the bf16 original.
