## About

<!-- ### quantize_version: 2 -->
<!-- ### output_tensor_quantised: 1 -->
<!-- ### convert_type: hf -->
<!-- ### vocab_type:  -->
<!-- ### tags: nicoboss -->
weighted/imatrix quants of https://huggingface.co/ValiantLabs/Llama3.1-70B-ShiningValiant2

<!-- provided-files -->
static quants are available at https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/Llama3.1-70B-ShiningValiant2-GGUF
## Usage

If you are unsure how to use GGUF files, refer to one of [TheBloke's
READMEs](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/KafkaLM-70B-German-V0.1-GGUF) 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)

| [GGUF](https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/Llama3.1-70B-ShiningValiant2-i1-GGUF/resolve/main/Llama3.1-70B-ShiningValiant2.i1-Q4_K_M.gguf) | i1-Q4_K_M | 42.6 | fast, recommended |
| [PART 1](https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/Llama3.1-70B-ShiningValiant2-i1-GGUF/resolve/main/Llama3.1-70B-ShiningValiant2.i1-Q6_K.gguf.part1of2) [PART 2](https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/Llama3.1-70B-ShiningValiant2-i1-GGUF/resolve/main/Llama3.1-70B-ShiningValiant2.i1-Q6_K.gguf.part2of2) | i1-Q6_K | 58.0 | practically like static Q6_K |

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](https://www.nethype.de/), for letting
me use its servers and providing upgrades to my workstation to enable
this work in my free time. Additional thanks to [@nicoboss](https://huggingface.co/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.
