# Llama 2 7B ggml

From: https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-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.

| llama-2-7b.ggmlv3.q3_K_S.bin | q3_K_S | 3 | 2.95 GB| 5.45 GB | New k-quant method. Uses GGML_TYPE_Q3_K for all tensors |
| llama-2-7b.ggmlv3.q4_0.bin | q4_0 | 4 | 3.79 GB| 6.29 GB | Original quant method, 4-bit. |
| llama-2-7b.ggmlv3.q4_1.bin | q4_1 | 4 | 4.21 GB| 6.71 GB | Original quant method, 4-bit. Higher accuracy than q4_0 but not as high as q5_0. However has quicker inference than q5 models. |
| llama-2-7b.ggmlv3.q4_K_M.bin | q4_K_M | 4 | 4.08 GB| 6.58 GB | New k-quant method. Uses GGML_TYPE_Q6_K for half of the attention.wv and feed_forward.w2 tensors, else GGML_TYPE_Q4_K |
| llama-2-7b.ggmlv3.q4_K_S.bin | q4_K_S | 4 | 3.83 GB| 6.33 GB | New k-quant method. Uses GGML_TYPE_Q4_K for all tensors |
| llama-2-7b.ggmlv3.q5_0.bin | q5_0 | 5 | 4.63 GB| 7.13 GB | Original quant method, 5-bit. Higher accuracy, higher resource usage and slower inference. |
| llama-2-7b.ggmlv3.q5_1.bin | q5_1 | 5 | 5.06 GB| 7.56 GB | Original quant method, 5-bit. Even higher accuracy, resource usage and slower inference. |
| llama-2-7b.ggmlv3.q5_K_M.bin | q5_K_M | 5 | 4.78 GB| 7.28 GB | New k-quant method. Uses GGML_TYPE_Q6_K for half of the attention.wv and feed_forward.w2 tensors, else GGML_TYPE_Q5_K |
