Making an importance matrix:

imatrix \
  -m DeepSeek-V2-Chat.{quant}.gguf \
  -f groups_merged.txt \
  --verbosity [0, 1, 2] \
  -ngl {GPU offloading; must build with CUDA} \
  --ofreq {recommended: 1}

Making a quant:

quantize \
  DeepSeek-V2-Chat.bf16.gguf \
  DeepSeek-V2-Chat.{quant}.gguf \
  {quant} \
  (--imatrix [file])

Note: Use iMatrix quants only if you can fully offload to GPU, otherwise speed will be affected negatively.
