I'm constantly enhancing these model descriptions to provide you with the most relevant and comprehensive information

StableMed-3b - GGUF

Model creator: cxllin
Original model: StableMed-3b

StableLM

This is a Model based on StableLM. Stablelm is a familiy of Language Models by Stability AI.

Note:

Current (as of 2023-11-15) implementations of Llama.cpp only support GPU offloading up to 34 Layers with these StableLM Models. The model will crash immediately if -ngl is larger than 34. The model works fine however without any gpu acceleration.

Brief

At the time of generating this readme, there was no original readme.md in the original repository.

Instead, refer to the README.md of the corresponding Llama version https://huggingface.co/cxllin/Llama2-7b-med-v1, which supposedly uses the same training data.

About GGUF format

gguf is the current file format used by the ggml library. A growing list of Software is using it and can therefore use this model. The core project making use of the ggml library is the llama.cpp project by Georgi Gerganov

Quantization variants

There is a bunch of quantized files available to cater to your specific needs. Here's how to choose the best option for you:

Legacy quants

Q4_0, Q4_1, Q5_0, Q5_1 and Q8 are legacy quantization types. Nevertheless, they are fully supported, as there are several circumstances that cause certain model not to be compatible with the modern K-quants.

Note:

Now there's a new option to use K-quants even for previously 'incompatible' models, although this involves some fallback solution that makes them not real K-quants. More details can be found in affected model descriptions. (This mainly refers to Falcon 7b and Starcoder models)

K-quants

K-quants are designed with the idea that different levels of quantization in specific parts of the model can optimize performance, file size, and memory load. So, if possible, use K-quants. With a Q6_K, you'll likely find it challenging to discern a quality difference from the original model - ask your model two times the same question and you may encounter bigger quality differences.

Please consider to support my work

Coming Soon: I'm in the process of launching a sponsorship/crowdfunding campaign for my work. I'm evaluating Kickstarter, Patreon, or the new GitHub Sponsors platform, and I am hoping for some support and contribution to the continued availability of these kind of models. Your support will enable me to provide even more valuable resources and maintain the models you rely on. Your patience and ongoing support are greatly appreciated as I work to make this page an even more valuable resource for the community.
