Possible gains with 8 bit quantization

Sorry for bothering but just asking if anyone tested or has any info regarding 8-bit quantization instead of 4? Expected gains compared to 4-bit?
having 4x MI100/128GB serving a few developers, looking for the best model that would fit/use the available ram.

I would recommend 3.6-27B with that configuration and docker image for 4x mi100s. It will beat the old qwen3-coder model, and the mtp setting in that config work very well.

Thanks!
I'm new to all this stuff... so would like to ask what would be the best model/option to run on 4xMI100 to serve a few developers agentic work (long sessions, large 256K+ context)?

That config I posted is for my 8-bit variant of qwen3.6-27b. It's the best model right now for exactly what you are describing. I run it at work for our team too.
