static quants of https://huggingface.co/tricao1105/WARD-2b

<!-- provided-files -->

For a convenient overview and download list, visit our model page for this model.

weighted/imatrix quants seem not to be available (by me) at this time. If they do not show up a week or so after the static ones, I have probably not planned for them. Feel free to request them by opening a Community Discussion.

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 | mmproj-Q8_0 | 0.5 | multi-modal supplement |

| GGUF | mmproj-f16 | 0.8 | multi-modal supplement |

| GGUF | Q2_K | 1.2 | |

| GGUF | Q3_K_S | 1.3 | |

| GGUF | Q3_K_M | 1.4 | lower quality |

| GGUF | Q3_K_L | 1.5 | |

| GGUF | IQ4_XS | 1.6 | |

| GGUF | Q4_K_S | 1.6 | fast, recommended |

| GGUF | Q4_K_M | 1.7 | fast, recommended |

| GGUF | Q5_K_S | 1.8 | |

| GGUF | Q5_K_M | 1.9 | |

| GGUF | Q6_K | 2.1 | very good quality |

| GGUF | Q8_0 | 2.7 | fast, best quality |

| GGUF | f16 | 4.9 | 16 bpw, overkill |

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

types (lower is better):

FAQ / Model Request

See https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/model_requests for some answers to

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. 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.
