MOSS-VL-Realtime FP8 Dynamic + Transformers KV8
MOSS-VL is an open vision-language model family from OpenMOSS, supporting image understanding, long-video understanding, and realtime streaming interaction. This repository provides the FP8-quantized checkpoint of MOSS-VL-Realtime.
Technical Report: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.15045
This is the Transformers FP8 release of
MOSS-VL-Realtime.
It preserves the timestamp-aware streaming interface for frame-by-frame video
inference. This checkpoint is not an SGLang release.
Architecture

Quantization profile
generation_config.json enables HQQ KV8 automatically. Load the checkpoint
directly and do not pass a second quantization configuration or replace its
generation config with the BF16 source file.
Quantization benchmark
The final evaluation compares the original BF16 model with all four release
profiles on their corresponding benchmark suites. For this streaming FP8
checkpoint, the scores are 70.66 on OVOBench Avg, 62.93 on StreamingBench Avg,
and 65.50 on OmniMMI PA, compared with 70.86, 62.42, and 66.00 for BF16.

Hardware requirements
The validated 30-frame streaming test peaked at 25,522 MiB of process VRAM and
26,249 MiB total GPU memory, including a 727 MiB baseline. Use an NVIDIA GPU
with more than 26 GiB available memory, or allow Transformers to shard the
model across multiple GPUs with device_map="auto".
Environment
Installation
Validated core versions:
Video decoding also requires FFmpeg in PATH.
Load the model
Realtime streaming inference
Supply PIL-compatible frames with non-decreasing timestamps. One model
instance supports one active realtime session.
The model may emit control tokens such as <|silence|>, <|round_start|>,
and <|round_end|>; applications should filter or render them according to
their protocol.
Validated reproduction
The fixed validation used a Xinjiang aerial video at 1 FPS with 30 timestamped
frames. It completed 30/30 frames and produced a relevant Chinese tour-guide
description.
