- * The q4_0 file is provided for compatibility with older versions of llama.cpp. It has been superseded and is no longer recommended.
24
- * The q4_2 file offers the best combination of performance and quality.
25
- * The q4_3 file offers the highest quality, at the cost of increased RAM usage and slower inference speed.

+ * The q4_0 file provides lower quality, but maximal compatibility. It will work with past and future versions of llama.cpp
24
+ * The q4_2 file offers the best combination of performance and quality. This format is still subject to change and there may be compatibility issues, see below.
25
+ * The q4_3 file offers the highest quality, at the cost of increased RAM usage and slower inference speed. This format is still subject to change and there may be compatibility issues, see below.

+ ## q4_2 and q4_3 compatibility
28
+
29
+ q4_2 and q4_3 are new 4bit quantisation methods offering improved quality. However they are still under development and their formats are subject to change.
30
+
31
+ In order to use these files you will need to use recent llama.cpp code. And it's possible that future updates to llama.cpp could require that these files are re-generated.
32
+
33
+ If and when the q4_2 and q4_3 files no longer work with recent versions of llama.cpp I will endeavour to update them.
34
+
35
+ If you want to ensure guaranteed compatibility with a wide range of llama.cpp versions, use the q4_0 file.
