grug-35b-v2-gguf

35b brother reborn, squeezed into rocks. MoE brain: fast like small model, smart like big model. grug think dense inside <think>, answer normal english. full story + all benchmark: grug-35b-v2.

rocks

file	quant
grug-35b-v2-Q8_0.gguf	Q8_0
grug-35b-v2-Q6_K.gguf	Q6_K
grug-35b-v2-Q5_K_M.gguf	Q5_K_M
grug-35b-v2-Q4_K_M.gguf	Q4_K_M - grug pick this
grug-35b-v2-Q3_K_M.gguf	Q3_K_M
mmproj-grug-35b-v2-f16.gguf	eye rock (vision)

every rock load-tested before upload. old grug-35b repeat-word sickness: extinct in v2 (0 loops in every gauntlet, 100% think closed).

if rock act broken

single-token spam ("/" forever etc) = NOT the rock. hybrid DeltaNet brain CANNOT survive llama.cpp context-shift: old builds shift on context overflow and corrupt the recurrent state into token spam. fix:

use RECENT llama.cpp (qwen3_5 support; new builds refuse instead of shift)
agent frontends (OpenCode etc): set -c 16384 or bigger
still broken? re-download rock (verify size) + check backend grug re-test rock after every report: loads clean, zero spam at proper config.

how run

llama-server -m grug-35b-v2-Q4_K_M.gguf --mmproj mmproj-grug-35b-v2-f16.gguf \
  -c 16384 --temp 0.6 --top-p 0.95 --top-k 20

need recent llama.cpp (qwen3_5_moe arch). MTP not included. grug made by ProCreations. base brain by DeepReinforce.
