This quant collection REQUIRES ik_llama.cpp fork to support the ik's latest SOTA quants and optimizations! Do not download these big files and expect them to run on mainline vanilla llama.cpp, ollama, LM Studio, KoboldCpp, etc!

NOTE ik_llama.cpp can also run your existing GGUFs from bartowski, unsloth, mradermacher, etc if you want to try it out before downloading my quants.

Some of ik's new quants are supported with Nexesenex/croco.cpp fork of KoboldCPP with Windows builds for CUDA 12.9. Also check for Windows builds by Thireus here. which have been CUDA 12.8.

These quants provide best in class perplexity for the given memory footprint.

Big Thanks

Shout out to Wendell and the Level1Techs crew, the community Forums, YouTube Channel! BIG thanks for providing BIG hardware expertise and access to run these experiments and make these great quants available to the community!!!

Also thanks to all the folks in the quanting and inferencing community on BeaverAI Club Discord and on r/LocalLLaMA for tips and tricks helping each other run, test, and benchmark all the fun new models!

Quant Collection

Perplexity computed against wiki.test.raw.

This first is just a "pure" test quant for baseline perplexity comparison:

Q8_0 664.295 GiB (8.504 BPW)
- Final estimate: PPL = 3.3929 +/- 0.01985

NOTE: smol is convention indicating same size quantization for ffn_(up|gate)_exps and ffn_down_exps tensors.

IQ5_K 464.062 GiB (5.941 BPW)

Final estimate: PPL = 3.4000 +/- 0.01992

# NOTE: Chat Template Stuff
# The above commands seem to default to thinking disabled so if you do want thinking try some combination of:
# --jinja \
# --reasoning-format none \
# --reasoning-budget -1 \
# If you omit `--reasoning-format none` it may appear to take a long time before responding as thinking is in a different response field.
# I'm not sure how to get it to start the response with `<think>` though.
# You can also do this with `--reasoning-budget 0` to disable thinking but keep the jinja stuff.

# NOTE: Validate Quants
# If you have a numerical issue like DDDDD response or `nan` in perplexity, try with `--validate-quants` and check sha256sum of ggufs and redownload any corrupt ones.

Multi-GPU is well supported with custom -ot ...=CUDA1 offload regex arguments etc.
