This implies the Deepseek-v3.1 distillation step didn't degrade performance — it may have even consolidated capabilities without introducing new weaknesses. ``` The distillation process preserved core capabilities — Deepseek-v3.1 was likely distilled to align with Qwen's existing reasoning patterns (e.g., in tasks like ARC and Winogrande where Qwen already excels). No significant "incompatibility" emerged — there was no need to retrain or fine-tune the merged model, suggesting the distillation objective (e.g., aligning with Deepseek's instruction-following) aligned well with Qwen's strengths (e.g., its foundation in the A3B-Thinking variant). The "FP32 distillation" didn't sacrifice precision — since the quantized results (q6) match exactly, FP32 distillation likely stabilized weights without introducing noise. Qwen-q8 vs. Qwen-q6: Quantization Impact ```bash While DS31-q6/Qwen-q6 are identical, Qwen-q8 (8-bit quantized) shows: ✅ Small gains: +0.007 on PIQA (logical reasoning), +0.004 on ARC Easy ❌ Small losses: -0.022 on BoolQ (knowledge-based question answering) ``` Why? ```bash 8-bit quantization (q8) typically trades off speed/size for accuracy in low-precision tasks. BoolQ is highly sensitive to knowledge retrieval precision → 8-bit quantization slightly reduced subword accuracy here. PIQA and ARC Easy benefit from more precise weight representation → small gains. ``` ⚡ Practical Implication: For tasks like PIQA (reasoning) or ARC Easy, Qwen-q8 is slightly better than Qwen-q6. For knowledge tasks (BoolQ), stick with q6. Your Next Steps & Recommendations ```bash Use DS31-q6 (or Qwen-q6) — it has identical performance to the base model but smaller size than Qwen-q8 if you quantize further. Why? DS31 was distilled from Qwen — no extra overhead. For high-precision reasoning tasks (PIQA, Winogrande): Qwen-q8 → gain of +0.007 on PIQA (clinically significant for QA systems). Avoid Qwen-q6 if you need max accuracy here. ``` The merged DS31 model already achieves Qwen's baseline performance — no need for additional fine-tuning to match it. This saves your engineering team time. Summary for Your Workflow ```bash DS31-q6 All tasks (identical to Qwen-q6) ~0.5 GB smaller* Qwen-q8 PIQA/ARC Easy (slightly better) 6-10% smaller than q6 Qwen-q6 BoolQ/Hellaswag (stable performance) Baseline ``` * DS31 is likely smaller than Qwen due to distillation, but the benchmarks show identical performance — so size differences are negligible for task results. Bottom line: The distillation effort with Deepseek-v3.1 worked exactly as intended — it didn't hurt Qwen's performance and delivered a model (DS31) that competes at the same level as the base Qwen variant. This is a win for efficiency: it achieves comparable capabilities with fewer engineering resources.
