About

static quants of https://huggingface.co/prithivMLmods/Vortex-9B-CodeCore-Merge

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

weighted/imatrix quants are available at https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/Vortex-9B-CodeCore-Merge-i1-GGUF

Usage

If you are unsure how to use GGUF files, refer to one of TheBloke's READMEs 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	0.7	multi-modal supplement
GGUF	mmproj-f16	1.0	multi-modal supplement
GGUF	Q2_K	4.0
GGUF	Q3_K_S	4.5
GGUF	Q3_K_M	4.8	lower quality
GGUF	Q3_K_L	5.1
GGUF	IQ4_XS	5.5
GGUF	Q4_K_S	5.6	fast, recommended
GGUF	Q4_K_M	5.9	fast, recommended
GGUF	Q5_K_S	6.6
GGUF	Q5_K_M	6.7
GGUF	Q6_K	7.7	very good quality
GGUF	Q8_0	9.9	fast, best quality
GGUF	f16	18.5	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.
