FP8 at xhigh beat BF16 at medium and equalled BF16 at xhigh while running faster. r/LocalLLaMA On problem 7 both BF16 and FP8 at xhigh exhausted the generation budget without emitting an answer, so that miss is a context-limit failure rather than a wrong answer. Practical read: the quantization costs nothing on this task, the reasoning budget is the variable.
