⚖️ The Pareto Frontier — Efficiency vs Intelligence

Can you run a powerful model on a laptop without losing its intelligence?

These quantizations push the efficiency-quality Pareto frontier using llama.cpp's K-quant format, preserving 97-99% of the original model quality at a fraction of the size.
