Usage
If you are unsure how to use GGUF files, refer to one of TheBloke's READMEs for more details, including on how to concatenate multi-part files.
Provided Quants
(sorted by size, not necessarily quality. IQ-quants are often preferable over similar sized non-IQ quants)
| Link | Type | Size/GB | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| GGUF | mmproj-Q8_0 | 0.2 | multi-modal supplement |
| GGUF | mmproj-f16 | 0.3 | multi-modal supplement |
| GGUF | Q2_K | 0.3 | |
| GGUF | Q3_K_S | 0.3 | |
| GGUF | IQ4_XS | 0.4 | |
| GGUF | Q3_K_M | 0.4 | lower quality |
| GGUF | Q3_K_L | 0.4 | |
| GGUF | Q4_K_S | 0.4 | fast, recommended |
| GGUF | Q4_K_M | 0.4 | fast, recommended |
| GGUF | Q5_K_S | 0.4 | |
| GGUF | Q5_K_M | 0.4 | |
| GGUF | Q6_K | 0.5 | very good quality |
| GGUF | Q8_0 | 0.5 | fast, best quality |
| GGUF | f16 | 0.9 | 16 bpw, overkill |

FAQ / Model Request
See https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/model_requests for some answers to questions you might have and/or if you want some other model quantized.
Thanks
I thank my company, nethype GmbH, for letting me use its servers and providing upgrades to my workstation to enable this work in my free time. Additional thanks to @nicoboss for giving me access to his private supercomputer, enabling me to provide many more imatrix quants, at much higher quality, than I would otherwise be able to.
