GGUF-quantized version of SandyVeliz/acervo-extractor-qwen3.5-9b, a 9B document-extraction model fine-tuned on structured data parsing tasks (invoices, contracts, financial reports). Quantized to Q4_K_M with llama.cpp — runs on 8 GB RAM with only +6% perplexity loss and 12% faster inference than the float16 original.

Performance at a Glance

Variant	File Size	Peak RAM	Speed	Perplexity Δ
float16 (original)	~18 GB	20 GB	42.7 tok/s	baseline
Q4_K_M ← this repo	~4.7 GB	5.7 GB	47.8 tok/s (+12%)	+6%
Q8_0	~9.5 GB	10.7 GB	45.3 tok/s (+6%)	+1%

Quality vs Speed Tradeoff

Each bubble represents a quantization tier. Bubble size = file size on disk. The ideal region is bottom-right (low perplexity + high speed). Q4_K_M sits at the sweet spot — significant size reduction with minimal quality loss.

Memory Requirements

Q4_K_M is the recommended tier: it fits comfortably in 8 GB RAM and is the highest-quality format that does so. Q8_0 requires 12 GB. float16 needs 20 GB.

Pipeline Architecture

The quantization pipeline:

quantize.py — downloads the base model from HuggingFace, builds llama.cpp, converts to GGUF
benchmark.py — measures perplexity, tokens/sec, and per-token latency stats
memory_estimator.py — predicts peak RAM/VRAM for any (model_size, quant_type) pair
compare.py — benchmarks multiple models side-by-side in one run
scripts/demo.py — orchestrates everything end-to-end

How to Use

With llama-cpp-python

python

from llama_cpp import Llama

llm = Llama(
    model_path="acervo-extractor-qwen3.5-9b-Q4_K_M.gguf",
    n_ctx=2048,
    n_threads=8,
)

output = llm(
    "Extract the key financial metrics from the following document:\n\n[document text here]",
    max_tokens=256,
    temperature=0.1,
)
print(output["choices"][0]["text"])

With llama.cpp CLI

bash

./llama-cli -m acervo-extractor-qwen3.5-9b-Q4_K_M.gguf \
  -p "Parse the following invoice and return structured JSON:" \
  -n 256 --temp 0.1

With Ollama

ollama run hf.co/[your-username]/acervo-extractor-qwen3.5-9b-gguf
