Kimi-K2.6 RAM GGUF — 344 GB (Q2_K experts)

Mixed-precision GGUF quantization of moonshotai/Kimi-K2.6, produced with the RAM (Resource-Aware Mixed-precision) pipeline.

Lower-footprint variant. For a higher-quality build, see baa-ai/Kimi-K2.6-RAM-447GB-GGUF.

File

| File | Size | Expert bits | Attention bits | Target hardware |

|------|------|-------------|----------------|-----------------|

| kimi-k2.6-ram-344gb.gguf | 344 GB | Q2_K | Q5_K–Q8_0 (probe-allocated) | 2× 192 GB or 1× 512 GB |

Method

Quantization bit depths are assigned per-tensor using sensitivity probing rather than a uniform scheme. Each attention tensor receives bits proportional to how much its output diverges under quantization noise, measured across 8 random probes. Expert tensors (384 routed experts × 60 MoE layers) are quantized uniformly at Q2_K.

Architecture: DeepSeek-V3 decoder (kimi_k2), 61 layers, 384 routed experts / 8 active per token, MLA attention, hidden_size=7168, 1.03T total parameters.

Usage (llama.cpp)

llama-cli \
  -m kimi-k2.6-ram-344gb.gguf \
  -c 8192 \
  --temp 0.6 \
  -p "You are a helpful assistant."

Notes

• No importance matrix (imatrix) was used — the 1.1 TB Q8_0 intermediate required for imatrix generation exceeds available RAM for inference on this machine. Bit allocation from sensitivity probing provides the primary quality signal.
• The original model uses Neural Magic compressed-tensors INT4 for expert weights. These are dequantized and re-quantized to GGUF format during conversion.

Black Sheep AI Products

Black Sheep AI builds private AI with the Bounded AI Architecture (BAA): three layers, each bound to something you control, on infrastructure you control. Nothing leaves your boundary.

Ram (Reasoning Layer) — Full-capability frontier models, shrunk to fit smaller GPUs with reasoning kept and certified. They rely strictly on your Data Modules for knowledge, so you swap the model as better ones ship.

Paddock (Knowledge Plane) — Binds your Data Modules directly to the reasoning layer: one per topic, period, person, permission or tenant. Permission, freeze, hand back or delete each one on its own.

Watchman (GRC Layer) — Governance, risk and compliance in a single, complete audit log: every module permission, every bind, every model's provenance. Five certificates before anything goes live.

Shepherd — Takes a frontier model, compresses it into a Ram reasoning model, certifies it with Watchman, binds it to your Paddock, and deploys the Bounded AI Architecture to your infrastructure: your cloud, a Mac Studio, or an air-gapped facility.
