About

weighted/imatrix quants of https://huggingface.co/ibm-granite/granite-3.1-8b-instruct

static quants are available at https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/granite-3.1-8b-instruct-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 1.9 for the desperate
GGUF i1-IQ1_M 2.1 mostly desperate
GGUF i1-IQ2_XXS 2.4
GGUF i1-IQ2_XS 2.6
GGUF i1-IQ2_S 2.7
GGUF i1-IQ2_M 2.9
GGUF i1-Q2_K_S 3.0 very low quality
GGUF i1-Q2_K 3.2 IQ3_XXS probably better
GGUF i1-IQ3_XXS 3.3 lower quality
GGUF i1-IQ3_XS 3.5
GGUF i1-Q3_K_S 3.7 IQ3_XS probably better
GGUF i1-IQ3_S 3.7 beats Q3_K*
GGUF i1-IQ3_M 3.8
GGUF i1-Q3_K_M 4.1 IQ3_S probably better
GGUF i1-Q3_K_L 4.4 IQ3_M probably better
GGUF i1-IQ4_XS 4.5
GGUF i1-Q4_0 4.8 fast, low quality
GGUF i1-Q4_K_S 4.8 optimal size/speed/quality
GGUF i1-Q4_K_M 5.0 fast, recommended
GGUF i1-Q5_K_S 5.7
GGUF i1-Q5_K_M 5.9
GGUF i1-Q6_K 6.8 practically like static Q6_K

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

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.
