A Reddit user describes a technique to enhance output quality of lower-quantized Qwen 3.8 Flash Next models in Strata by side-loading a higher-quality Q8 ngram. This approach reportedly improves "intelligence" without increasing VRAM or system memory usage, and maintains prefill/decode speed when using ple-io=direct. The Q8 ngram is loaded via the --ple-gguf=/path/to/ngram.gguf flag or the STRATA_SET environment variable in Docker deployments.
