About
static quants of https://huggingface.co/sanchit-gandhi/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-6-layers
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 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)
| Link | Type | Size/GB | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| GGUF | Q2_K | 1.2 | |
| GGUF | IQ3_XS | 1.3 | |
| GGUF | Q3_K_S | 1.3 | |
| GGUF | IQ3_S | 1.3 | beats Q3_K* |
| GGUF | IQ3_M | 1.3 | |
| GGUF | Q3_K_M | 1.4 | lower quality |
| GGUF | Q3_K_L | 1.5 | |
| GGUF | IQ4_XS | 1.5 | |
| GGUF | Q4_K_S | 1.6 | fast, recommended |
| GGUF | Q4_K_M | 1.6 | fast, recommended |
| GGUF | Q5_K_S | 1.8 | |
| GGUF | Q5_K_M | 1.8 | |
| GGUF | Q6_K | 2.0 | very good quality |
| GGUF | Q8_0 | 2.6 | fast, best quality |
| GGUF | f16 | 4.8 | 16 bpw, overkill |
Here is a handy graph by ikawrakow comparing some lower-quality quant types (lower is better):
