• Aggressive 3-bit quantization optimized for maximum memory reduction and lightweight deployment
• Suitable for low-memory systems and CPU-based inference environments
• Enables practical deployment of larger healthcare-oriented models on constrained hardware
• May reduce precision on complex clinical reasoning and detailed biomedical tasks

IQ4_XS

• Size reduction of approx 72.89% (1.93 GB) compared to 16-bit (7.12 GB)
• Balanced 4-bit quantization designed for efficient inference and stable generation quality
• Provides a strong trade-off between memory usage, speed, and response consistency
• Suitable for general-purpose healthcare assistants, summarization, and medical conversational workflows
• Maintains reliable inference performance across most practical medical NLP tasks

IQ4_NL

• Size reduction of approx 71.35% (2.04 GB) compared to 16-bit (7.12 GB)
• Advanced 4-bit non-linear quantization focused on preserving output quality and reasoning capability
• Better suited for structured medical reasoning, biomedical analysis, and detailed explanatory tasks
• Typically provides improved consistency for healthcare-oriented workflows
• Slightly higher computational overhead during inference compared to simpler formats
