# Llama 2 13B ggml

From: https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-2-13b-hf

---

### Original llama.cpp quant methods: `q4_0, q4_1, q5_0, q5_1, q8_0`

Quantized using an older version of llama.cpp and compatible with llama.cpp from May 19, commit 2d5db48.

### k-quant methods: `q2_K, q3_K_S, q3_K_M, q3_K_L, q4_K_S, q4_K_M, q5_K_S, q6_K`

Quantization methods compatible with latest llama.cpp from June 6, commit 2d43387.
