Request to add an IQ4_XS quantization.

After loading the Q4KM model on my hardware, the remaining resources make it difficult to enable a long context.

Hey, thanks for trying it out! I'm planning to quantize IQ4_XS on the next training run, thanks for flagging the memory issue.

What GPU and context length are you trying to run?

We’re also considering a smaller Humanlike model on Gemma for lower-VRAM systems in the near future.

Feel free to join our discord for discussions, it'd be great to have you there.

My hardware is an RTX 3080 20G, with KV cache using Q8 quantization and a context length of 80000. If I switch to IQ4_XS, the context length can reach 120000, which is more than enough for me. I mainly do novel writing, but after the recent model update, it's been hard to generate long texts. And the old version of the model made me delete it directly.

@yybl IQ4_XS is now uploaded! It’s about 15.1 GB versus 16.56 GB for Q4_K_M, so that should free up some room for your KV cache.

The new release is more optimised and balanced, and should follow instructions and context better. Let me know if it still doesn't give you the prose you are looking for.
