About

static quants of https://huggingface.co/perlthoughts/Starling-LM-alpha-8x7B-MoE

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)

GGUF	IQ3_S	20.7	beats Q3_K*

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