About

static quants of https://huggingface.co/Vezora/Narwhal-7b

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.

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