About

weighted/imatrix quants of https://huggingface.co/openai-community/gpt2-xl

static quants are available at https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/gpt2-xl-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	0.9	mostly desperate
GGUF	i1-IQ2_XXS	0.9
GGUF	i1-IQ2_XS	0.9
GGUF	i1-IQ2_S	0.9
GGUF	i1-IQ2_M	1.0
GGUF	i1-IQ3_XXS	1.0	lower quality
GGUF	i1-IQ3_S	1.0	beats Q3_K*
GGUF	i1-IQ3_XS	1.0
GGUF	i1-Q2_K	1.0	IQ3_XXS probably better
GGUF	i1-Q3_K_S	1.0	IQ3_XS probably better
GGUF	i1-IQ4_XS	1.1
GGUF	i1-Q4_0_4_4	1.1	fast on arm, low quality
GGUF	i1-Q4_0_4_8	1.1	fast on arm+i8mm, low quality
GGUF	i1-Q4_0_8_8	1.1	fast on arm+sve, low quality
GGUF	i1-Q4_0	1.1	fast, low quality
GGUF	i1-IQ3_M	1.1
GGUF	i1-Q3_K_M	1.1	IQ3_S probably better
GGUF	i1-Q3_K_L	1.2	IQ3_M probably better
GGUF	i1-Q4_K_S	1.2	optimal size/speed/quality
GGUF	i1-Q4_K_M	1.3	fast, recommended
GGUF	i1-Q5_K_S	1.3
GGUF	i1-Q5_K_M	1.5
GGUF	i1-Q6_K	1.7	practically like static Q6_K

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.
