## Information

This is a Exl2 quantized version of [MN-12B-Starsong-v1](https://huggingface.co/aetherwiing/MN-12B-Starsong-v1)

Please refer to the original creator for more information.

Calibration dataset: Exl2 default

## Branches:

- main: Measurement files
- 4bpw: 4 bits per weight
- 5bpw: 5 bits per weight
- 6bpw: 6 bits per weight

## Notes

- 6bpw is recommended for the best quality to vram usage ratio (assuming you have enough vram).
- Quants greater than 6bpw will not be created because there is no improvement in using them. If you really want them, ask someone else or make them yourself.


## Download
