</div>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.
| Benchmark | Original (FP16) | Q4_K_M | Quality Retained |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMLU Pro | See original card | Run benchmarks | ~97-99% |
| HellaSwag | See original card | Run benchmarks | ~97-99% |
| ARC Challenge | See original card | Run benchmarks | ~97-99% |
| TruthfulQA | See original card | Run benchmarks | ~97-99% |
| GSM8K | See original card | Run benchmarks | ~97-99% |
| Filename | Size | RAM Required | Quant | Quality | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
stable-code-3b-Q2_K.gguf | 1.01 GB | ~2.5 GB | Q2_K | ⭐ | Extreme compression, significant quality loss. |
stable-code-3b-Q3_K_L.gguf | 1.40 GB | ~2.9 GB | Q3_K_L | ⭐⭐⭐ | Slightly better than Q3_K_M, still a compromise. |
stable-code-3b-Q3_K_M.gguf | 1.30 GB | ~2.8 GB | Q3_K_M | ⭐⭐⭐ | Very small file. Quality drop noticeable. |
stable-code-3b-Q3_K_S.gguf | 1.17 GB | ~2.7 GB | Q3_K_S | ⭐⭐ | Very high compression, high quality loss. |
stable-code-3b-Q4_K_M.gguf | 1.59 GB | ~3.1 GB | Q4_K_M ✅ Recommended | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Best balance of size and quality. Recommended for most users. |
stable-code-3b-Q4_K_S.gguf | 1.51 GB | ~3.0 GB | Q4_K_S | ⭐⭐⭐½ | Good speed/size balance, slight quality loss. |
stable-code-3b-Q5_K_M.gguf | 1.86 GB | ~3.4 GB | Q5_K_M | ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ | Better quality than Q4, slightly larger. Great if you have the RAM. |
stable-code-3b-Q5_K_S.gguf | 1.81 GB | ~3.3 GB | Q5_K_S | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Large but accurate. |
stable-code-3b-Q6_K.gguf | 2.14 GB | ~3.6 GB | Q6_K | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Near-perfect quality, very large. |
stable-code-3b-Q8_0.gguf | 2.77 GB | ~4.3 GB | Q8_0 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Closest to original quality. Use when RAM is not a concern. |

GGUF is the standard file format for running large language models locally. Quantization reduces the number of bits per weight:
| Format | Bits/weight | Size vs FP16 | Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q2_K | ~2.6 | 16% | ⭐ |
| Q3_K_M | ~3.3 | 21% | ⭐⭐⭐ |
| Q4_K_M | ~4.5 | 28% | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ← sweet spot |
| Q5_K_M | ~5.6 | 35% | ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ |
| Q8_0 | ~8.5 | 53% | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
