Qwen3 Nano GGUF
This repository contains GGUF quantized versions of Qwen3 Nano optimized for local inference using:
- llama.cpp
- Ollama
- LM Studio
- KoboldCpp
- other GGUF-compatible runtimes
GGUF is a file format designed for efficient LLM inference, especially on consumer hardware.

Usage
1. llama.cpp
Install llama.cpp:
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
cd llama.cpp
cmake -B build
cmake --build build --config Release
Run the model:
./build/bin/llama-cli \
-m Qwen3-nano-Q4_K_M.gguf \
-p "Explain artificial intelligence"
Interactive chat:
./build/bin/llama-cli \
-m Qwen3-nano-Q4_K_M.gguf \
-i

2. Ollama
Create a file named Modelfile:
FROM ./Qwen3-nano-Q4_K_M.gguf
PARAMETER temperature 0.7
PARAMETER top_p 0.9
PARAMETER num_ctx 8192
PARAMETER num_predict 512
SYSTEM """

Answer clearly and accurately.
"""
Create Ollama model:
ollama create qwen3-nano -f Modelfile
Run:
ollama run qwen3-nano
---
3. LM Studio
- Download the GGUF file.
- Open LM Studio.
- Select:
Qwen3-nano-Q4_K_M.gguf
- Load and chat locally.

Limitations
- Performance depends on CPU/GPU hardware.
- Quantized models may have slightly lower accuracy than the original FP16 model.
- GGUF models are intended for inference, not training.
