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.

(sorted by size, not necessarily quality. IQ-quants are often preferable over similar sized non-IQ quants)

Link	Type	Size/GB	Notes
GGUF	i1-IQ1_S	2.1	for the desperate
GGUF	i1-IQ1_M	2.3	mostly desperate
GGUF	i1-IQ2_XXS	2.5
GGUF	i1-IQ2_XS	2.7
GGUF	i1-IQ2_S	2.9
GGUF	i1-IQ2_M	3.0
GGUF	i1-Q2_K	3.3	IQ3_XXS probably better
GGUF	i1-IQ3_XXS	3.4	lower quality
GGUF	i1-IQ3_XS	3.6
GGUF	i1-Q3_K_S	3.8	IQ3_XS probably better
GGUF	i1-IQ3_S	3.8	beats Q3_K*
GGUF	i1-IQ3_M	3.9
GGUF	i1-Q3_K_M	4.1	IQ3_S probably better
GGUF	i1-Q3_K_L	4.4	IQ3_M probably better
GGUF	i1-IQ4_XS	4.5
GGUF	i1-Q4_0	4.8	fast, low quality
GGUF	i1-Q4_K_S	4.8	optimal size/speed/quality
GGUF	i1-Q4_K_M	5.0	fast, recommended
GGUF	i1-Q5_K_S	5.7
GGUF	i1-Q5_K_M	5.8
GGUF	i1-Q6_K	6.7	practically like static Q6_K

Here is a handy graph by ikawrakow comparing some lower-quality quant types (lower is better):

See https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/model_requests for some answers to questions you might have and/or if you want some other model quantized.

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.
