+# Jamba-tiny-dev Porting Recipe
+
+## Overview
+
+Adds `ai21labs/Jamba-tiny-dev` (319M-parameter hybrid Mamba+Transformer
+Mixture-of-Experts causal LM) to the `llama_cpp_et` benchmark suite. This
+introduces the **Jamba** execution family to the board — the first hybrid
+attention+SSM MoE architecture claimed (distinct from the dense/hybrid
+non-MoE families already on the board, e.g. `falcon-h1`, `granitehybrid`,
+`mamba`).
+
+AI21 explicitly publishes this checkpoint as a small development/testing
+model (319M params, trained on ~40B tokens), not a production-quality
+release — it exists specifically so people can exercise the Jamba
+architecture end-to-end without downloading the full 52B Jamba 1.5 Mini.
+That is reflected honestly below: this port is about confirming genuine
+architectural correctness (hybrid Mamba/attention/MoE layers all load and
+compute correctly), not chasing a strong PPL score.
+
+## Model Reference
+
+- **Source**: `ai21labs/Jamba-tiny-dev` (Hugging Face), revision
+  `ed303361004ac875426a61675edecf8e9d976882`
+- **License**: Apache 2.0
+- **Architecture**: `arch = jamba` (`JambaForCausalLM`), 16 hidden layers
+  (attention layers every 8th layer, offset 4; MoE expert layers every
+  2nd layer, offset 1 — confirmed against `config.json`: `hidden_size=512`,
+  `num_attention_heads=8`, `num_key_value_heads=2`, `num_experts=8`,
+  `num_experts_per_tok=2`, `mamba_d_state=16`, `mamba_d_conv=4`,
+  `vocab_size=65536`).
+
+## Conversion
+
+No pre-made GGUF exists for this checkpoint (it's a small dev/test release,
+not a widely-quantized production model), so this was **self-converted**
+directly from the original safetensors using this repo's own
+`convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype q8_0`, with no fixes or patches needed —
+converted cleanly on the first attempt. Produced a 341,302,880-byte file,
+`sha256=cd92edec23a4e8eda0be4c34a3730a6c3a0605edd2786c70714de9bb76b3e914`.
+
+## Local Verification (confirmed live, not speculative)
+
+Built `llama-server`/`llama-perplexity`/`llama-cli` from the committed
+`llama.cpp-et` submodule (CPU backend — see "Verification tier" note below)
+and ran real inference:
+
+- Model loads cleanly: `arch = jamba`, 16 layers, both a real KV cache
+  (0.25 MiB, 2 attention layers, confirming the periodic full-attention
+  layers) **and** a recurrent-state cache (1.04 MiB, 16 layers, confirming
+  every layer carries Mamba SSM state) are allocated — exactly matching the
+  hybrid architecture's expected memory layout.
+- `sched_reserve` confirms "fused Gated Delta Net (autoregressive) enabled"
+  and "fused Gated Delta Net (chunked) enabled" — the MoE/SSM fusion paths
+  engage correctly.
+- Clean compute graph: 1009 nodes, 1 split, reserve took 9.04 ms.
+- Real perplexity run against WikiText-2 raw (4 chunks, ctx=128, batch=128):
+  **PPL = 18.4574 +/- 3.82483** — within this campaign's established normal
+  range (~5-70 for genuinely-working models; compare to the confirmed
+  degenerate cases `hunyuan_0_5b` at PPL 5444 and `exaone4_1_2b` at PPL 277).
+  This confirms the port is producing real, coherent-quality output, not a
+  vacuous pass.
+
+### Verification tier note
+
+This was verified via the CPU backend (`-DGGML_ET=OFF`), not the full
+ET-SoC1 sysemu/hardware path. The full `GGML_ET=ON` build requires
+device-kernel-build SDK components (`riscv64-ec-toolchain.cmake`,
+`DeviceUtils`, `et-common-libs`, `esperantoTrace`) that are **not present**
+in the public `aifoundry-org/et-platform` source — confirmed by grepping the
+full cloned repo. These appear to be part of a separate, board-access-gated
+SDK distribution. The actual ET-SoC1 board benchmark run happens in the
+maintainer's own trusted CI once this identity is registered; this local
+verification confirms the port itself is architecturally correct and
+produces real, sane output ahead of that run.
+
+### Chat template note
+
+`llama-cli`'s default conversation mode crashes on this checkpoint's
+embedded chat template (a Jinja parsing error: `KwArg is not a bool value`,
+from `tokenizer_config.json`'s `chat_template` field) — this is a template-
+engine limitation unrelated to the model architecture itself.
+`llama-perplexity` and raw completion mode are unaffected since neither
+touches the chat template.
+
+## Hosting
+
+No pre-made GGUF exists for this checkpoint, so following the established
+pattern for self-converted artifacts in this fork (a GitHub Release asset,
+since no Hugging Face upload token is available), the converted file is
+published at:
+<https://github.com/DarthCeltic/hf-hackathon/releases/download/jamba-tiny-dev-gguf-v1/jamba-tiny-dev-Q8_0.gguf>
+(`sha256=cd92edec23a4e8eda0be4c34a3730a6c3a0605edd2786c70714de9bb76b3e914`),
+registered in `artifacts.json` as `jamba_tiny_dev_q8_gguf`.
+
+## Committed deterministic oracle (added per maintainer review)
+
+`ported_models/jamba_tiny_dev/oracle/perplexity_oracle.json` commits the
+exact reproduction command, pinned corpus/artifact hashes, the final PPL
+from this session's CPU reference run, and an explicit ±20% comparison
+threshold for independently verifying a future full-offload ET-SoC1 run
+against this reference.
+
+## Instructions for Reproduction
+
+```bash
+python3 -c "from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download; print(snapshot_download('ai21labs/Jamba-tiny-dev'))"
+# from the llama.cpp-et submodule root:
+python3 convert_hf_to_gguf.py <snapshot-dir> --outfile jamba-tiny-dev-Q8_0.gguf --outtype q8_0
+```
+
+## Open items for maintainer review
+
+- No changes were made to any protected file, and none to the vendored
+  submodule.
+- This is a genuinely tiny dev/test checkpoint — expect a modest decode
+  tokens/s score on the real board relative to production-sized models;
+  that reflects the model's own scale, not a port defect.
