About

weighted/imatrix quants of https://huggingface.co/DavidAU/MN-WORDSTORM-pt7-RCM-Into-Darkness-18.5B-Instruct

static quants are available at https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/MN-WORDSTORM-pt7-RCM-Into-Darkness-18.5B-Instruct-GGUF

Usage

If you are unsure how to use GGUF files, refer to one of TheBloke's READMEs 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)

Link	Type	Size/GB	Notes
GGUF	i1-IQ1_S	4.4	for the desperate
GGUF	i1-IQ1_M	4.8	mostly desperate
GGUF	i1-IQ2_XXS	5.4
GGUF	i1-IQ2_XS	5.9
GGUF	i1-IQ2_S	6.2
GGUF	i1-IQ2_M	6.6
GGUF	i1-Q2_K	7.2	IQ3_XXS probably better
GGUF	i1-IQ3_XXS	7.5	lower quality
GGUF	i1-IQ3_XS	8.0
GGUF	i1-Q3_K_S	8.3	IQ3_XS probably better
GGUF	i1-IQ3_S	8.4	beats Q3_K*
GGUF	i1-IQ3_M	8.6
GGUF	i1-Q3_K_M	9.2	IQ3_S probably better
GGUF	i1-Q3_K_L	9.9	IQ3_M probably better
GGUF	i1-IQ4_XS	10.2
GGUF	i1-Q4_0	10.7	fast, low quality
GGUF	i1-Q4_K_S	10.8	optimal size/speed/quality
GGUF	i1-Q4_K_M	11.3	fast, recommended
GGUF	i1-Q5_K_S	12.9
GGUF	i1-Q5_K_M	13.3
GGUF	i1-Q6_K	15.3	practically like static Q6_K

Thanks

I thank my company, nethype GmbH, for letting me use its servers and providing upgrades to my workstation to enable this work in my free time. Additional thanks to @nicoboss for giving me access to his private supercomputer, enabling me to provide many more imatrix quants, at much higher quality, than I would otherwise be able to.
