Overview

What this model is.

The DFlash2 draft model is designed to run inside a speculative decoding server, generating blocks of draft tokens that are verified by the Qwen3.8-27B target model. It predicts whole token blocks, keeps top candidates per position, and uses a lightweight selector to produce a coherent output path, matching the target model's distribution.

The model has 1.9 billion parameters, uses the DFlash2DraftModel architecture, and supports a context length of 262 144 tokens. It is released under the Apache-2.0 licence and stored in bfloat16 format. Deployment requires integration with a speculative decoding engine such as SGLang or vLLM, and it operates without expert layers.

Memory

How much VRAM the weights need.

Parameter count multiplied by the bytes each format uses. The key-value cache comes on top.

PrecisionWeightsNotes
bf163.6 GiBFull precision as released
fp81.8 GiB8-bit, near-lossless on most models
int40.9 GiB4-bit, smallest footprint

The cache costs 20 KiB per token at 16-bit, so the full 262,144-token context of one request needs about 5.0 GiB. Concurrency multiplies that number, not the weights.

That figure is an upper bound: this model uses sliding-window attention with a 2,048-token window on some layers, so long requests cache less than this.

Hardware

Which card runs it.

At the released precision, with 90% of the card given to the server and 2.5 GiB kept for the runtime. The context column is what is left for the cache on that setup.

Questions

The things people ask about this model.

How much GPU memory does Qwen3.8-27B-DFlash2 need?

The weights take about 4 GiB at the released precision. That fits on one RTX 4090 24GB, which leaves roughly 16 GiB for the key-value cache.

What licence does Qwen3.8-27B-DFlash2 use?

The repository declares apache-2.0. Read the licence text before commercial use: the name alone does not tell you what is allowed.

How long a context does it support?

The configuration allows 262,144 tokens. Whether the whole window is usable depends on the memory left for the cache, which the hardware table works out per card.

Can I use it through an API instead of hosting it?

This page is a reference, and Aiqre does not serve this model today. We deploy open-weight models on dedicated EU hardware on request, so if you want an OpenAI-compatible endpoint for it, email [email protected] with the model name and roughly what volume you expect.
