Kimi K3 GGUF Structural Validation Report v1.0

Kimi K3 GGUF Structural Validation Report

This v1.0 release publishes an evidence-linked structural validation package for
unsloth/Kimi-K3-GGUF at immutable revision
3d4b61ab4b6789d401191c476cbb4567246db8f5.

Validated variants

• UD-IQ1_M: 15 shards and 2,573 tensor descriptors;
  STRUCTURALLY_VALIDATED_WITH_LIMITATIONS.
• UD-Q4_K_XL: 32 shards and 2,573 tensor descriptors;
  STRUCTURALLY_VALIDATED_WITH_LIMITATIONS.

Remote structural inspection accepted zero tensor payload bytes. The variants
have 2,573 matched normalized tensor identities and shapes. Their typed
cross-quantization result is
STRUCTURALLY_EQUIVALENT_WITH_QUANTIZATION_DIFFERENCES.

Evidence limitations

• Artifact-specific provenance: UNAVAILABLE
• Payload equality and integrity: NOT_CHECKED
• Quantization fidelity: NOT_CHECKED
• Tokenizer parity: NOT_CHECKED
• Runtime parity: NOT_CHECKED

The package does not establish payload correctness, numerical conversion
correctness, quantization quality, tokenizer equivalence, runtime equivalence,
benchmark performance, safety, production certification, or official
endorsement.
