SmolLM2-135M-Instruct — Backpack GGUF

GGUF quantizations of HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M-Instruct, tested for llama.cpp-compatible inference and packaged for Backpack.

Model

Property	Value
Original model	`HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M-Instruct`
Original publisher	HuggingFaceTB
Upstream revision	`12fd25f77366fa6b3b4b768ec3050bf629380bac`
Architecture	LlamaForCausalLM
Parameters	134,515,008
Context length	8,192
License	apache-2.0

Available packages

Quantization	Size	Approx. RAM	Recommended for
Q4_K_M	100.6 MiB	1.14 GB	Most users
Q5_K_M	106.9 MiB	1.15 GB	Higher quality
Q8_0	138.1 MiB	1.2 GB	Plenty of memory

Memory values are estimates, not guarantees. Runtime configuration and context length change actual use.

Backpack recommendation

Recommended: Q4_K_M. It usually offers a practical quality, size, and speed balance for local inference.

Provenance

The source model was resolved to immutable revision 12fd25f77366fa6b3b4b768ec3050bf629380bac. It was converted with llama.cpp's convert_hf_to_gguf.py and quantized with llama-quantize; the exact tested revision is recorded above and in backpack-model.yaml.

License and attribution

Upstream declares apache-2.0. Review the upstream model card and comply with all applicable terms.

Backpack does not claim ownership of the original model. These artifacts are packaged and quantized distributions of the upstream model.

Disclaimer

Quantization can alter output quality. Memory estimates vary with runtime configuration, context length, and hardware.
