The abliterated values, however, only exist in an IQ4_NL build — take them literally and the two 2-bit tiers would have to lift all 48 expert tensors to IQ4_NL, +11.7 GB each. This repository re-encodes the abliterated values into Q2_0 using <b>GSQ's own learned block scales</b>, so all four tiers keep the <b>upstream per-layer type assignment exactly</b> (IQ3_S measured at 9×Q2_0 + 39×IQ4_NL, identical to upstream). The only remaining cost is the 96 small tensors, whose abliterated values only exist at Q8_0: +0.25 GB on IQ3_S and +0.30 – 0.44 GB on the others.</p></div></div>
