Branch	Bits	lm_head bits	Dataset	Size	Description
8_0	8.0	8.0	Default	9.8 GB	Maximum quality that ExLlamaV2 can produce, near unquantized performance.
6_5	6.5	8.0	Default	8.6 GB	Very similar to 8.0, good tradeoff of size vs performance, recommended.
5_0	5.0	6.0	Default	7.4 GB	Slightly lower perplexity vs 6.5.
4_0	4.0	6.0	Default	6.5 GB	Just under GPTQ equivalent bits per weight.
3_5	3.5	6.0	Default	6.1 GB	Lower quality, only use if you have to.

All VRAM requirements estimated from 16k context. For 32k context add ~2 GB.
