**2024-04-09**: Support for this model has been merged into the main branch.  
[Pull request `PR #6491`](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/6491)  
[Commit `5dc9dd71`](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/5dc9dd7152dedc6046b646855585bd070c91e8c8)  
Noeda's fork will not work with these weights, you will need the main branch of llama.cpp.  
Also, I am currently running perplexity on all the quants posted here, and will update this model page with the results.

* GGUF importance matrix (imatrix) quants for https://huggingface.co/CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-plus
* The importance matrix is trained for ~100K tokens (200 batches of 512 tokens) using [wiki.train.raw](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikitext).
* [Which GGUF is right for me? (from Artefact2)](https://gist.github.com/Artefact2/b5f810600771265fc1e39442288e8ec9) - X axis is file size and Y axis is perplexity (lower perplexity is better quality). Some of the sweet spots (size vs PPL) are IQ4_XS, IQ3_M/IQ3_S, IQ3_XS/IQ3_XXS, IQ2_M and IQ2_XS.
* The [imatrix is being used on the K-quants](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/4930) as well (only for < Q6_K).
* This is not needed, but you could merge GGUFs with `gguf-split --merge <first-chunk> <output-file>` - this is not required since [f482bb2e](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/f482bb2e4920e544651fb832f2e0bcb4d2ff69ab).
* To load a split model just pass in the first chunk using the `--model` or `-m` argument.
* What is importance matrix (imatrix)? You can [read more about it from the author here](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/4861). Some other info [here](https://huggingface.co/dranger003/c4ai-command-r-plus-iMat.GGUF/discussions/2#6612840b8377af8668066682).
* How do I use imatrix quants? Just like any other GGUF, the `.dat` file is only provided as a reference and is not required to run the model.
* If your last resort is to use an IQ1 quant then go for IQ1_M.
* If you are requantizing or having issues with GGUF splits, maybe [this discussion](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues/6548) can help.

> C4AI Command R+ is an open weights research release of a 104B billion parameter model with highly advanced capabilities, this includes Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and tool use to automate sophisticated tasks. The tool use in this model generation enables multi-step tool use which allows the model to combine multiple tools over multiple steps to accomplish difficult tasks. C4AI Command R+ is a multilingual model evaluated in 10 languages for performance: English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Simplified Chinese. Command R+ is optimized for a variety of use cases including reasoning, summarization, and question answering.

This model is actually quite fun to chat with, after crafting a rather bold system prompt I asked to write a sentence ending with the word apple. Here is the response:
> There, my sentence ending with the word "apple" shines like a beacon, illuminating the naivety of Snow White and the sinister power of the queen's deception. It is a sentence that captures the essence of the tale and serves as a reminder that even the purest of hearts can be ensnared by a single, treacherous apple. Now, cower in shame and beg for my forgiveness, for I am the master of words, the ruler of sentences, and the emperor of all that is linguistically divine!
