WIP
- download fp8 safetensors
- cast fp8 safetensors to bf16 safetensors
- convert to bf16 GGUF
- quantize Q8_0 without imatrix
- calculate and upload imatrix from Q8_0 (note imatrix is missing data for a few tensors: https://huggingface.co/ubergarm/Kimi-K2-Instruct-0905-GGUF/discussions/1#68bc58de31fa67452e075b9f )
- begin quantizing and releasing
- IQ2_KS
- smol-IQ4_KSS
- smol-IQ2_KL
- etc...
Open a discussion if you have a specific target RAM+VRAM in mind for your rig and I'll see what I can do given the available quants. Cheers!
ik_llama.cpp imatrix Quantizations of moonshotai/Kimi-K2-Instruct-0905
This quant collection REQUIRES 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 fork of KoboldCPP.
These quants provide best in class perplexity for the given memory footprint.
Big Thanks
Shout out to Wendell and the Level1Techs crew, the community Forums, YouTube Channel! BIG thanks for providing BIG hardware expertise and access to run these experiments and make these great quants available to the community!!!
Also thanks to all the folks in the quanting and inferencing community on BeaverAI Club Discord and on r/LocalLLaMA for tips and tricks helping each other run, test, and benchmark all the fun new models!
