- # Important Update for Falcon Models in llama.cpp Versions After October 18, 2023
35
-
36
- As noted on the [Llama.cpp GitHub repository](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp#hot-topics), all new Llama.cpp releases after October 18, 2023, will require a re-quantization due to the new BPE tokenizer.
37
-
38
- **Good news!** I am glad that my re-quantization process for Falcon Models is nearly complete. Download the latest quantized models to ensure compatibility with recent llama.cpp software.

40
- **Key Points:**
41
-
42
- - **Stay Informed:** Keep an eye on software application release schedules using llama.cpp libraries.
43
- - **Monitor Upload Times:** Re-quantization is *almost* done. Watch for updates on my Hugging Face Model pages.
44
-
45
- **Important Compatibility Note:** Old software will work with old Falcon models, but expect updated software to exclusively support the new models.
46
-
47
- This change primarily affects **Falcon** and **Starcoder** models, with other models remaining unaffected.

64
  Q4_0, Q4_1, Q5_0, Q5_1 and Q8 are `legacy` quantization types.

  Nevertheless, they are fully supported, as there are several circumstances that cause certain model not to be compatible with the modern K-quants.

- K-quants are based on the idea that the quantization of certain parts affects the quality in different ways. If you quantize certain parts more and others less, you get a more powerful model with the same file size, or a smaller file size and lower memory load with comparable performance.
71
  So, if possible, use K-quants.
72
- With a Q6_K you should find it really hard to find a quality difference to the original model - ask your model two times the same question and you may encounter bigger quality differences.
