static quants of https://huggingface.co/ValiantLabs/Llama3.2-3B-ShiningValiant2

<!-- provided-files -->
weighted/imatrix quants are available at https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/Llama3.2-3B-ShiningValiant2-i1-GGUF
## Usage

If you are unsure how to use GGUF files, refer to one of [TheBloke's
READMEs](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/KafkaLM-70B-German-V0.1-GGUF) 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)

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