static quants of https://huggingface.co/ValiantLabs/Llama3.1-8B-Cobalt

<!-- provided-files -->
weighted/imatrix quants seem not to be available (by me) at this time. If they do not show up a week or so after the static ones, I have probably not planned for them. Feel free to request them by opening a Community Discussion.
## 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)

Here is a handy graph by ikawrakow comparing some lower-quality quant
types (lower is better):

questions you might have and/or if you want some other model quantized.

## Thanks

I thank my company, [nethype GmbH](https://www.nethype.de/), for letting
me use its servers and providing upgrades to my workstation to enable
this work in my free time.
