Explore more quants of the REAP variant

by freenode - opened

Quants of the REAP variant of this model work very well with opencode tasks and gives me a lot more context in my 32GB VRAM: https://huggingface.co/unsloth/GLM-4.7-Flash-REAP-23B-A3B-GGUF/blob/main/GLM-4.7-Flash-REAP-23B-A3B-UD-Q6_K_XL.gguf

I would like to see if an IQ5_K of GLM-4.7-Flash-REAP could outperform Unsloth's UD-Q6_K_XL, or at least buy me more context with a minimal impact on performance. I'm working on getting AVX512 enabled on the host I have access to, so that I could try doing this myself with the immensely helpful logs/guidance that you and ik_llama have made available, but as of right now I can't. What do you think?

Follow your heart as intrinsic motivation is the guiding factor in all activity.

Personally, I tend to use a smaller quant of the original model over a REAP, but I've not personally done head-head comparison between the two methods.

If you decide to try the experiment, go for it and please report back as I am curious what you'd find.

  • Check out this video for a quick overview of the quantization steps: https://blog.aifoundry.org/p/adventures-in-model-quantization
  • Check this old guide for some explicit old commands: https://github.com/ikawrakow/ik_llama.cpp/discussions/434
  • i have some logs/ folders in my newer model releases with some more updated command examples
  • I'd suggest if this is your first quant to start off using someone else's bf16 GGUF and imatrix file for the model you want to quantize. then adapting recipes from my model cards as desired and cooking your own quant won't take too much resources other than disk space to hold it all.
  • finally you can compare perplexity / kld between your custom quant and whatever other quant you want. keep in mind ppl/kld are best for relative comparisons of various quants of the same model. can't really compare numbers across different models.
