Usage

If you are unsure how to use GGUF files, refer to one of [TheBloke's

READMEs](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/KafkaLM-70B-German-V0.1-GGUF) 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 | Q2_K | 3.1 | |

| GGUF | Q3_K_S | 3.6 | |

| GGUF | Q3_K_M | 3.9 | lower quality |

| GGUF | Q3_K_L | 4.2 | |

| GGUF | IQ4_XS | 4.4 | |

| GGUF | Q4_K_S | 4.6 | fast, recommended |

| GGUF | Q4_K_M | 4.8 | fast, recommended |

| GGUF | Q5_K_S | 5.4 | |

| GGUF | Q5_K_M | 5.5 | |

| GGUF | Q6_K | 6.4 | very good quality |

| GGUF | Q8_0 | 8.2 | fast, best quality |

| GGUF | f16 | 15.3 | 16 bpw, overkill |

Here is a handy graph by ikawrakow comparing some lower-quality quant

types (lower is better):

questions you might have and/or if you want some other model quantized.

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.
