According to [this investigation](https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1993iro/ggufs_quants_can_punch_above_their_weights_now/), it appears that lower quantizations are the only ones that benefit from the imatrix input (as per hellaswag results). ### How do I merge a split GGUF? 1. Make sure you have `gguf-split` available - To get hold of `gguf-split`, navigate to https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/releases - Download the appropriate zip for your system from the latest release - Unzip the archive and you should be able to find `gguf-split` 2. Locate your GGUF chunks folder (ex: `Mistral-NeMo-Minitron-8B-Base.Q8_0`) 3. Run `gguf-split --merge Mistral-NeMo-Minitron-8B-Base.Q8_0/Mistral-NeMo-Minitron-8B-Base.Q8_0-00001-of-XXXXX.gguf Mistral-NeMo-Minitron-8B-Base.Q8_0.gguf` - Make sure to point `gguf-split` to the first chunk of the split. --- Got a suggestion?
