This repository hosts GGUF-IQ-Imatrix quantizations for **[Nitral-AI/Infinitely-Laydiculus-9b](https://huggingface.co/Nitral-AI/Infinitely-Laydiculus-9b)**.

Huge thanks to [@Nitral-AI](https://huggingface.co/Nitral-AI) for merging this one.

**What does "Imatrix" mean?**

It stands for **Importance Matrix**, a technique used to improve the quality of quantized models.
The **Imatrix** is calculated based on calibration data, and it helps determine the importance of different model activations during the quantization process.
The idea is to preserve the most important information during quantization, which can help reduce the loss of model performance, especially when the calibration data is diverse.

For imatrix data generation, kalomaze's `groups_merged.txt` with added roleplay chats was used, you can find it [here](https://huggingface.co/Lewdiculous/Datura_7B-GGUF-Imatrix/blob/main/imatrix-with-rp-format-data.txt). This was just to add a bit more diversity to the data.

**Steps:**

```
Base⇢ GGUF(F16)⇢ Imatrix-Data(F16)⇢ GGUF(Imatrix-Quants)
```
*Using the latest llama.cpp at the time.*

**Quants:**
```python
    quantization_options = [
        "Q4_K_M", "Q4_K_S", "IQ4_XS", "Q5_K_M", "Q5_K_S",
        "Q6_K", "Q8_0", "IQ3_M", "IQ3_S", "IQ3_XXS"
    ]
```

If you want anything that's not here or another model, feel free to request.

**Original model information:**

This model was merged using the passthrough merge method.
