About

weighted/imatrix quants of https://huggingface.co/ibm/PowerLM-3b

static quants are available at https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/PowerLM-3b-GGUF

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 i1-IQ1_S 0.9 for the desperate
GGUF i1-IQ1_M 1.0 mostly desperate
GGUF i1-IQ2_XXS 1.1
GGUF i1-IQ2_XS 1.2
GGUF i1-IQ2_S 1.2
GGUF i1-IQ2_M 1.3
GGUF i1-Q2_K 1.4 IQ3_XXS probably better
GGUF i1-IQ3_XXS 1.5 lower quality
GGUF i1-IQ3_XS 1.6
GGUF i1-IQ3_S 1.7 beats Q3_K*
GGUF i1-Q3_K_S 1.7 IQ3_XS probably better
GGUF i1-IQ3_M 1.7
GGUF i1-Q3_K_M 1.8 IQ3_S probably better
GGUF i1-Q3_K_L 2.0 IQ3_M probably better
GGUF i1-IQ4_XS 2.0
GGUF i1-Q4_0 2.1 fast, low quality
GGUF i1-Q4_K_S 2.1 optimal size/speed/quality
GGUF i1-Q4_K_M 2.2 fast, recommended
GGUF i1-Q5_K_S 2.5
GGUF i1-Q5_K_M 2.6
GGUF i1-Q6_K 3.0 practically like static Q6_K

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

FAQ / Model Request

See https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/model_requests for some answers to questions you might have and/or if you want some other model quantized.

Thanks

I thank my company, nethype GmbH, for letting me use its servers and providing upgrades to my workstation to enable this work in my free time. Additional thanks to @nicoboss for giving me access to his private supercomputer, enabling me to provide many more imatrix quants, at much higher quality, than I would otherwise be able to.
