Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-Aggressive — NVFP4

NVFP4 quant of Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-Aggressive (α=1.15 recipe update), compressed-tensors NVFP4A16 (E2M1 4-bit weights, FP8-E4M3 scales @ group 16), for NVIDIA V100 (SM70) under 1Cat-vLLM. Vision tower and the grafted MTP head (bf16) are preserved.

About this update (α=1.15)

Recipe update to the Aggressive line: the previous build ablated at α≈1.24, which a larger benchmark sweep showed over-ablates past the ~1.15 quality peak. This build uses α=1.15 — more open and better on every measured axis.
