GLM-4.5-Base-128GB-RAM-IQ2_KL-GGUF

GLM-4.5-Base, quantized down to 124GB (V2) and 118GB (V1), specifically for 128GB RAM + small GPU setups.

llm_load_tensors:        CPU buffer size = 114156.88 MiB
llm_load_tensors:  CUDA_Host buffer size =   416.25 MiB
llm_load_tensors:      CUDA0 buffer size = 10584.35 MiB

It uses ik_llama.cpp's new IQ2_KL quantization:

With the following mix, derived from ubergarm's GLM-4.5 (Instruct) quantizations:

• Mostly iq5_ks GPU layers to minimize loss cheaply, keep it fast (as iqX_ks quantizations are very fast), and minimize the number of quantization types.

• iq3_ks shared experts near the beginning and end, as this seems to be where there are perplexity 'bumps.'

• iq2_kl 'middle' shared experts.

Works well on 128GB RAM, with room for 24K F16 context in 24GB VRAM and RAM to spare for the system. It's awesome for story continuation.

Do NOT load with mmap! Requires ik_llama.cpp, see ubergarm's GLM 4.5 page. And let me know if you want a different mix (such as one more optimal for 8-11GB GPUs).
