| Quant Type | File Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Q8_0 | 82.85GB | Extremely high quality, generally unneeded but max available quant. |
| Q6_K | 69.01GB | Very high quality, near perfect, recommended. |
| Q5_K_M | 58.31GB | High quality, recommended. |
| Q5_K_S | 55.08GB | High quality, recommended. |
| Q4_K_M | 50.70GB | Good quality, default size for most use cases, recommended. |
Limitations
The Current Model is a powerful tool, but it’s not perfect. Let’s explore some of its limitations.
Size and Quality Tradeoffs
The model comes in various sizes, each with its own tradeoffs between quality and file size. The larger the model, the higher the quality, but also the more storage space it requires. If you’re looking for the absolute maximum quality, you’ll need to consider both your system RAM and GPU’s VRAM. If you want to prioritize speed, aim for a quant with a file size 1-2GB smaller than your GPU’s total VRAM.
Quantization Options
The model offers different quantization options, including ‘I-quants’ and ‘K-quants’. If you’re not sure which one to choose, the ‘K-quants’ are a safe bet. However, if you’re looking for better performance at lower quality levels, the ‘I-quants’ might be the way to go.
Compatibility Issues
Some quantization options are not compatible with certain hardware or software configurations. For example, the ‘I-quants’ are not compatible with Vulcan, which is an AMD-specific build. Make sure to check the compatibility of your chosen quantization option with your hardware and software setup.
Format
The Current Model uses a transformer architecture and accepts input in the form of tokenized text sequences.
Input Format
The input format for the Current Model is as follows:
<|im_start|>system
{system_prompt}
<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
{prompt}
<|im_end|>
Here, {system_prompt} and {prompt} are the actual inputs to the model.
Supported Data Formats
The Current Model supports various quantization formats, including:
- Q8_0
- Q6_K
- Q5_K_M
- Q5_K_S
- Q4_K_M
- Q4_K_S
- Q4_0
- IQ4_NL
- IQ4_XS
- IQ3_M
- IQ3_XXS
- IQ2_M
- IQ2_XS
- IQ2_XXS
- IQ1_M
Each of these formats has a different file size and quality. You can choose the one that best suits your needs.
Special Requirements
Some quantization formats have special requirements:
- Q4_0_X_X formats are optimized for ARM chips and require specific support.
- IQ4_NL and IQ4_XS formats are optimized for ARM chips and require specific support.
- Q4_0_8_8 format is optimized for AVX2 and AVX512 CPUs.
Make sure to check the requirements before choosing a format.
Choosing the Right Format
To choose the right format, you need to consider the size of the model and the available RAM and VRAM on your device. You can use the following guidelines:
- If you want the model to run as fast as possible, choose a format with a file size 1-2GB smaller than your GPU’s total VRAM.
- If you want the absolute maximum quality, choose a format with a file size 1-2GB smaller than the total RAM and VRAM on your device.
You can also use the feature matrix to decide between I-quants and K-quants.
Example Code
Here’s an example of how to use the Current Model in Python:
import llama_cpp
# Load the model
model = llama_cpp.load_model("calme-3.2-instruct-78b-Q4_K_M.gguf")
# Prepare the input
system_prompt = "This is a system prompt."
prompt = "This is a user prompt."
input_text = f"<|im_start|>system\n{system_prompt}\n<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>user\n{prompt}\n<|im_end|>"
# Run the model
output = model(input_text)
# Print the output
print(output)
Note that this is just an example and you may need to modify it to suit your specific use case.
