## `ik_llama.cpp` imatrix Quantizations of zai-org/GLM-4.5
This quant collection **REQUIRES** [ik_llama.cpp](https://github.com/ikawrakow/ik_llama.cpp/) fork to support the ik's latest SOTA quants and optimizations! Do **not** download these big files and expect them to run on mainline vanilla llama.cpp, ollama, LM Studio, KoboldCpp, etc!

*NOTE* `ik_llama.cpp` can also run your existing GGUFs from bartowski, unsloth, mradermacher, etc if you want to try it out before downloading my quants.

Some of ik's new quants are supported with [Nexesenex/croco.cpp](https://github.com/Nexesenex/croco.cpp) fork of KoboldCPP with Windows builds for CUDA 12.9. Also check for [Windows builds by Thireus here.](https://github.com/Thireus/ik_llama.cpp/releases) which have been CUDA 12.8.

See [Ubergarm's GLM-4.5 quants](https://huggingface.co/ubergarm/GLM-4.5-GGUF) for info on how to use the recipe or make your own quant.
