What does "Imatrix" mean?

It stands for Importance Matrix, a technique used to improve the quality of quantized models. [1] <br> The Imatrix is calculated based on calibration data, and it helps determine the importance of different model activations during the quantization process. The idea is to preserve the most important information during quantization, which can help reduce the loss of model performance and lead to better quality preservation, especially when the calibration data is diverse. [2]

For --imatrix data, included imatrix.dat was used.

Using llama.cpp-b2329:

Base⇢ GGUF(F16)⇢ Imatrix-Data(F16)⇢ GGUF(Imatrix-Quants)

The new IQ3_S quant-option has shown to be better than the old Q3_K_S, so I added that instead of the later. Only supported in koboldcpp-1.59.1 or higher. 1.60 is just around the corner with support for IQ4_XS.

If you want any specific quantization to be added, feel free to ask.

Original model information:

Bepis

A new 9B model from jeiku. This one is smart, proficient at markdown, knows when to stop talking, and is quite soulful. The merge was an equal 3 way split between https://huggingface.co/ChaoticNeutrals/Prodigy_7B, https://huggingface.co/Test157t/Prima-LelantaclesV6-7b, and https://huggingface.co/cgato/Thespis-CurtainCall-7b-v0.2.1

If there's any 7B to 11B merge or finetune you'd like to see, feel free to leave a message.

The following YAML configuration was used to produce this model:

  - sources:
      - model: prodigalthespis
        layer_range: [12, 32]
