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.
