#roleplay #sillytavern #llama3

My GGUF-IQ-Imatrix quants for nbeerbower/llama-3-Stheno-Mahou-8B.

"A potential precious hidden gem, will you polish this rough diamond?"

This is a merge of two very interesting models, aimed at roleplaying usage.

Personal-support:
I apologize for disrupting your experience.
Currently I'm working on moving for a better internet provider.
If you want and you are able to...
You can spare some change over here (Ko-fi).

Author-support:
You can support the author at their own page.

Quantization process:
For future reference, these quants have been done after the fixes from #6920 have been merged.
Imatrix data was generated from the FP16-GGUF and the final conversions used BF16-GGUF for the quantization process.
This was a bit more disk and compute intensive but hopefully avoided any losses during conversion.
If you noticed any issues let me know in the discussions.

General usage:
Use the latest version of KoboldCpp.
Remember that you can also use --flashattention on KoboldCpp now even with non-RTX cards for reduced VRAM usage.
For 8GB VRAM GPUs, I recommend the Q4_K_M-imat quant for up to 12288 context sizes.
For 12GB VRAM GPUs, the Q5_K_M-imat quant will give you a great size/quality balance.

Resources:
You can find out more about how each quant stacks up against each other and their types here and here, respectively.

Presets:
Some compatible SillyTavern presets can be found here (Virt's Roleplay Presets), experiment with Llama-3 and ChatML.
