Qwen3-8B-Q8_0

This seed file names one model file by its SHA-256. The player downloads it, checks every byte and runs it on your CPU, or refuses.

Passed start-up
Same on Linux and Windows

Needs

RAM: the player refuses below 8.11 GiB
Peak memory: not measured for this seed. The player compares your RAM with the file size, not with the memory it will use; on the 2 seeds we measured, the largest process peaked 49% and 77% above the file size (Linux, 2026-09-23)
Free disk ≥ 8.52 GiB
x86-64 processor with AVX2, FMA and F16C
Linux (glibc 2.35 or newer) or Windows 11 (builds 26100 and 26200 measured)

The player checks RAM, free disk and the processor before downloading, and stops if any of them falls short; a value it cannot read does not stop it.

Downloads 8.11 GiB from Hugging Face.

Run it

From the unpacked player folder. --maison is the folder for this model and your conversations.

Linux · bash

# germer: download the model file and check every byte./memown germer catalogue/qwen3-8b-source.graine.json --maison ~/ia/qwen3-8b-source

Expected: a line starting with VERDICT : VERT (VERT: all four checks passed, including the byte-for-byte check)

Windows 11 · PowerShell

# germer: download the model file and check every byte.\memown.exe germer catalogue\qwen3-8b-source.graine.json --maison "$env:USERPROFILE\ia\qwen3-8b-source"

Expected: a line starting with VERDICT : VERT (VERT: all four checks passed, including the byte-for-byte check)

Compare your answer with ours

Ask it first, right after germer, in a new --maison folder. Type the question exactly, in French: the published fingerprint is for these exact bytes.

Expected: True

1 or True: your tokens are the same as ours. 0 or False: they differ. Tell us either way.

To ask your own question, change the text after --dire. Keep the test question to compare with ours.

This fingerprint identifies the answer, not the model: qwen3-06b, qwen3-4b and qwen3-8b give the same tokens to this question. The byte check on download identifies the model file.
