weighted/imatrix quants of https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.1-405B-Instruct
These imatrix quants have recently been requantized using a higher quality imatrix calculated
directly from the source model (instead of the Q8_0 quant used for the previous imatrix). This was
probably the largest distributed imatrix computation to date (and also one of the first).
static quants are available at https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/Meta-Llama-3.1-405B-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)
Here is a handy graph by ikawrakow comparing some lower-quality quant
types (lower is better):

FAQ / Model Request
See https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/model_requests for some answers to
questions you might have and/or if you want some other model quantized.
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.
