# GGUF / IQ / Imatrix for [Spicy-Laymonade-7B](https://huggingface.co/ABX-AI/Spicy-Laymonade-7B)

Adding GGUF as I noticed the HF model had a lot of downloads but I never quantized it originally.

**Why Importance Matrix?**

**Importance Matrix**, at least based on my testing, has shown to improve the output and performance of "IQ"-type quantizations, where the compression becomes quite heavy.
The **Imatrix** performs a calibration, using a provided dataset. Testing has shown that semi-randomized data can help perserve more important segments as the compression is applied.

The imatrix.txt file that I used contains general, semi-random data, with some custom kink.

# Spicy-Laymonade-7B

Well, we have Laymonade, so why not spice it up? This merge is a step into creating a new 9B.

However, I did try it out, and it seemed to work pretty well.

## Merge Details

This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using [mergekit](https://github.com/cg123/mergekit).

### Merge Method

This model was merged using the SLERP merge method.

### Models Merged

The following models were included in the merge:
* [cgato/TheSpice-7b-v0.1.1](https://huggingface.co/cgato/TheSpice-7b-v0.1.1)
