Svelte Coder 8B (v0.9.0)

A Svelte 5 / SvelteKit 2 specialist coding model โ€” 8B variant. Free to use under MIT. Built by rockypod on a homelab RTX 3090 Ti using continuous retrieval-augmented fine-tuning (RAFT) and a correction-stream methodology.

This is the 8B variant for hardware where the 14B doesn't fit. For best benchmark results, use the 14B variant when the hardware allows.

Benchmark

Instrument Score
30Q spot exam 82.8% (36.0 / 43.5 weighted)
204Q in-scope (rescored) 74.68% (145 / 190 raw)

For comparison, the 14B variant scores 100% / 70.11% on the same instruments. The 30Q is the cleaner grader; the 204Q has known keyword-matching artifacts. See the main README for the full two-exams discussion.

Hardware requirements

  • VRAM: ~5 GB (Q4_K_M GGUF), runs on most consumer GPUs (RTX 3060 12GB, RTX 4060 8GB+ with offloading, Apple Silicon 8GB+)
  • Context length: 8192
  • Recommended use case: systems where the 14B variant (~8.4 GB) doesn't fit in available VRAM

Files

  • svelte-coder-v0.9.0-8b-q4_k_m.gguf โ€” 4-bit quantized weights (~5 GB)

Usage

Ollama

ollama pull rockypod/svelte-coder:8b
ollama run rockypod/svelte-coder:8b "Write a Svelte 5 counter with $state and $derived"

LM Studio / llama.cpp

Download svelte-coder-v0.9.0-8b-q4_k_m.gguf and load with the production parameters: temperature 0.2, num_ctx 8192, num_predict 1500, repeat_penalty 1.5. Use the ChatML template:

Limitations specific to the 8B

  • Svelte 4 echo trap is more frequent than on the 14B. The 8B has less capacity to override Qwen3-8B's pretrained Svelte 4 reflexes, particularly on T1 (Runes) and T13 (DaisyUI) fix-this-snippet questions. Review output for export let, on:click, <slot> patterns when modernizing Svelte 4 code.
  • All other limitations from the main README apply.

Apple Silicon note

MLX builds for Apple Silicon are not included in v0.9.0 for the 8B and 4B variants. Apple Silicon users are recommended to use the 14B variant, which includes MLX 4-bit weights.
