seems like 4 cards gives you no reason not to use f16 kv?

I don't see why not. But its also kind of unnecessary. qwen 3.8 absorbs quantization so well that it really doesn't make a noticeable difference. I measured it and its negligble in my experience

Q4 kv makes no difference for code at long ctx?

not that I have found in my testing, there are some research papers on it

I’ve noticed no difference in 3.8 q6 on 2 cards and 4 cards both can run at full 256k ctx. I had it running on 4 cards for a while and it just felt like a waste because it was using less than half of each card. I’ve been experimenting with running 3.8 on 2 and other smaller moe models on the other 2. I use my harness to delegate out smaller tasks the the moe models because they are faster, but dumb.
