FreeToken loads HF safetensors checkpoints directly (plus native GGUF for Gemma-4). The checkpoints below are known-good — the prebuilt kernels are tuned for them; other checkpoints of the same architectures work too.

ft serve --moe-backend {auto,fused,offload,cpu,hybrid}:
- fused — experts resident on GPU (needs the VRAM); never auto-selected.
- offload — experts live in host RAM, an LRU cache of expert slots on GPU; misses stream over PCIe.
- cpu — misses are computed on the CPU instead of fetched.
- hybrid — per step, fetches some misses over PCIe and computes the rest on
CPU, overlapped. Run
ft bench bwonce per machine to calibrate the split. - auto — dense models always resolve to
fused; MoE models resolve tooffload, upgraded tohybridwhen a cachedft bench bwprofile recommends it.
ft checkpointconversion is optional — it pre-converts a checkpoint into FreeToken's fast-load format, andft serve --modelauto-detects the result.- DeepSeek-V4 checkpoints must keep the
inference/config.jsonsubdir — the authoritative model args are read from there. - Multimodal checkpoints are served text-only.
