 ## The recipe tiers (scripts/recipes/qwen4exp-swift15-w4dn8-i8-hc8m.recipe)
 
 | Tier | Encoding | Why |
 |---|---|---|
-| MoE experts `ffn_down` | **gptq w4n8 (W4Dn8)** | the campaign tier: GPTQ on Hessians from the 10M-token corpus |
-| MoE `gate_up`, attention, shared expert | w4n8 | matched quantization; KLD-gated |
-| 10 derived experts | **bf16 protected** | energy-share law (step 5) |
-| trunk (embeddings, norms, conv) | **int8 (i8)** | trunk precision law |
-| hyper-cond + MTP head | **fp8** | hc+mtp fp8 law |
-| lm_head | **int8 (i8)** | i8 lm_head law |

+| 24 derived protected experts (whole) | **bf16** | energy-share law (step 5) |
+| shared expert + trunk attention/SSM linears | **int8**, scale per 128 cols, searched | trunk precision law |
+| hyper-cond + MTP head | **fp8_e4m3 row-groups** | hc+mtp fp8 law |
