weighted/imatrix quants seem not to be available (by me) at this time. If they do not show up a week or so after the static ones, I have probably not planned for them. Feel free to request them by opening a Community Discussion.

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	Q2_K	3.4
GGUF	Q3_K_S	3.9
GGUF	Q3_K_M	4.3	lower quality
GGUF	Q3_K_L	4.6
GGUF	IQ4_XS	4.7
GGUF	Q4_K_S	4.9	fast, recommended
GGUF	Q4_K_M	5.2	fast, recommended
GGUF	Q5_K_S	5.9
GGUF	Q5_K_M	6.0
GGUF	Q6_K	6.9	very good quality
GGUF	Q8_0	8.9	fast, best quality
GGUF	f16	16.6	16 bpw, overkill

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