Spicy-Laymonade-7B-GGUF-IQ-Imatrix

GGUF / IQ / Imatrix for Spicy-Laymonade-7B

Adding GGUF as I noticed the HF model had a lot of downloads but I never quantized it originally.

Why Importance Matrix?

Importance Matrix, at least based on my testing, has shown to improve the output and performance of "IQ"-type quantizations, where the compression becomes quite heavy. The Imatrix performs a calibration, using a provided dataset. Testing has shown that semi-randomized data can help perserve more important segments as the compression is applied.

The imatrix.txt file that I used contains general, semi-random data, with some custom kink.

Spicy-Laymonade-7B

Well, we have Laymonade, so why not spice it up? This merge is a step into creating a new 9B.

However, I did try it out, and it seemed to work pretty well.
