Amazing work!

(1) First of all, thank you for your refreshingly unique and fundamental approach to quantization, and also for providing the background papers! The dissertation is deep, yet accessible, and unusually well phrased. It would be an intellectually rewarding reading irrespective of the practical applications, which, of course, are also amazing. Sincere congratulations for a well-deserved doctorate. My praise, however extends to the entire team. [Disclaimer: I have no business or personal relationships with the owners of this repo ;-) ]
(2) Thanks, again, for boosting 'inference on edge' via pi5 through your practicable quants of Qwen3-30B. The broad range of provided quants leaves room for choice, with the 3.25bpw Qwen3 viable imho for respectable single-turn quality and performance (where compounding latency is not so much an issue).
(3) I have not yet found the time for formal benchmarking, but on first impression, your Coder quants seem to work quite well on Apple silicon with metal-enabled llama.cpp build. Your thoughts on fitting models to this architecture would be welcome.
(4) Although your time and compute budget might preclude this, further model quantizations would be welcomed by the community (nudge).

For some reason 2.69bpw seems best for me (spooky hand waving).
