## About

weighted/imatrix quants of https://huggingface.co/sophosympatheia/Aurora-Nights-70B-v1.0

<!-- provided-files -->
## Usage

If you are unsure how to use GGUF files, refer to one of [TheBloke's
READMEs](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/KafkaLM-70B-German-V0.1-GGUF) for
more details, including on how to concatenate multi-part files.

## Provided Quants

(sorted by size, not necessarily quality. IQ-quants are often preferable over similar sized non-IQ quants)
