Was going to post this on /r/LocalLLaMa, but apparently it's without moderation at this time :')
bartowski/mistralai_Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506-GGUF
Was able to use previous mistral chat templates, some hints from Qwen templates, and Claude to piece together a seemingly working chat template, tested it with llama.cpp server and got perfect results, though lmstudio still seems to be struggling for some reason (don't know how to specify a jinja file there)
Outlined the details of the script and results in my llama.cpp PR to add the jinja template:
https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/14349
Start server with a command like this:
and it should be perfect! Hoping it'll work for ALL tools if lmstudio gets an update or something, not just llama.cpp, but very happy to see it works flawlessly in llama.cpp
In the meantime, will try to open a PR to minja to make the strftime work, but no promises :)

Access requests enabled for latest GLM models
While a fix is being implemented (https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/12957) I want to leave the models up for visibility and continued discussion, but want to prevent accidental downloads of known broken models (even though there are settings that could fix it at runtime for now)
With this goal, I've enabled access requests. I don't really want your data, so I'm sorry that I don't think there's a way around that? But that's what I'm gonna do for now, and I'll remove the gate when a fix is up and verified and I have a chance to re-convert and quantize!
Hope you don't mind in the mean time :D

Switching to
I posted a poll on twitter, and others have mentioned the interest in me using the convention of including the author name in the model path when I upload.
It has a couple advantages, first and foremost of course is ensuring clarity of who uploaded the original model (did Qwen upload Qwen2.6? Or did someone fine tune Qwen2.5 and named it 2.6 for fun?)
The second thing is that it avoids collisions, so if multiple people upload the same model and I try to quant them both, I would normally end up colliding and being unable to upload both
I'll be implementing the change next week, there are just two final details I'm unsure about:
First, should the files also inherit the author's name?
Second, what to do in the case that the author name + model name pushes us past the character limit?
Haven't yet decided how to handle either case, so feedback is welcome, but also just providing this as a "heads up"

Looks like Q4_0_N_M file types are going away
Before you panic, there's a new "preferred" method which is online (I prefer the term on-the-fly) repacking, so if you download Q4_0 and your setup can benefit from repacking the weights into interleaved rows (what Q4_0_4_4 was doing), it will do that automatically and give you similar performance (minor losses I think due to using intrinsics instead of assembly, but intrinsics are more maintainable)
You can see the reference PR here:
https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/10446
So if you update your llama.cpp past that point, you won't be able to run Q4_0_4_4 (unless they add backwards compatibility back), but Q4_0 should be the same speeds (though it may currently be bugged on some platforms)
As such, I'll stop making those newer model formats soon, probably end of this week unless something changes, but you should be safe to download and Q4_0 quants and use those !
Also IQ4_NL supports repacking though not in as many shapes yet, but should get a respectable speed up on ARM chips, PR for that can be found here: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/10541
Remember, these are not meant for Apple silicon since those use the GPU and don't benefit from the repacking of weights

Old mixtral model quants may be broken!
Recently Slaren over on llama.cpp refactored the model loader - in a way that's super awesome and very powerful - but with it came breaking of support for "split tensor MoE models", which applies to older mixtral models
You may have seen my upload of one such older mixtral model, ondurbin/bagel-dpo-8x7b-v0.2, and with the newest changes it seems to be able to run without issue
If you happen to run into issues with any other old mixtral models, drop a link here and I'll try to remake them with the new changes so that we can continue enjoying them :)

In regards to the latest mistral model and GGUFs for it:
Yes, they may be subpar and may require changes to llama.cpp to support the interleaved sliding window
Yes, I got excited when a conversion worked and released them ASAP
That said, generation seems to work right now and seems to mimic the output from spaces that are running the original model
I have appended -TEST to the model names in an attempt to indicate that they are not final or perfect, but if people still feel mislead and that it's not the right thing to do, please post (civilly) below your thoughts, I will highly consider pulling the conversions if that's what people think is best. After all, that's what I'm here for, in service to you all !

Just so you all know, I'll be on vacation for the following two weeks and away from home! I'm hoping to get on at least once a day to load up some quants, but I won't be as bleeding edge and on the ball :) feel free to shoot me a message if you see one I should make!
In the meantime if you need something bleeding edge make sure to check out @MaziyarPanahi or @bullerwins who both put out great work!

Decided to try to check how many weights in a 70b F32 model would be squashed when converted to F16 (spoiler, it's shockingly few)
The reason for this comparison is that it should represent the same percentage of squishing as bf16 to fp16
Had claude make me a script, using the new Reflection-70B, and these are the results:
Total weights: 70553706496
Fully representable: 70530215524
Squashed: 23490972
Percentage squashed: 0.03%
0.03%!!!!
A couple things to note, this uses a roundtrip of F32 -> F16 -> F32 and then torch.isclose to account for rounding errors that come up by the very nature of extremely accurate numbers, but it uses VERY small tolerances (rtol=1e-5, atol=1e-8)
This is also examining EVERY weight that was stored at F32, and for most layers I was somewhere between 0% and 0.03% of weights being squashed, no major outliers.
Overall, I feel even safer converting to F16 for llama.cpp, the extremely small number of weights that fall outside the range are likely so small that they don't actually play a role in the final output of the model at inference anyways.

@victor
(is this the only way to "DM" on HF?)
Had a funny thought, would it be at all possible to rework what shows up on our personal HF page?
Picture this: I upload a model to an organization, someone who follows me now has no idea that I've uploaded a model or to where, unless they also watch those repos (which also floods them with other notifications)
What if our main Huggingface page was a collection of both models that we've uploaded specifically to our profile, as well as models we've uploaded to organizations? That way it would all be contained in one central followable location, and I wouldn't have concerns about losing followership if I wanted to upload to an organization all of a sudden.

So turns out I've been spreading a bit of misinformation when it comes to imatrix in llama.cpp
It starts true; imatrix runs the model against a corpus of text and tracks the activation of weights to determine which are most important
However what the quantization then does with that information is where I was wrong.
I think I made the accidental connection between imatrix and exllamav2's measuring, where ExLlamaV2 decides how many bits to assign to which weight depending on the goal BPW
Instead, what llama.cpp with imatrix does is it attempts to select a scale for a quantization block that most accurately returns the important weights to their original values, ie minimizing the dequantization error based on the importance of activations
The mildly surprising part is that it actually just does a relatively brute force search, it picks a bunch of scales and tries each and sees which one results in the minimum error for weights deemed important in the group
But yeah, turns out, the quantization scheme is always the same, it's just that the scaling has a bit more logic to it when you use imatrix
Huge shoutout to @compilade for helping me wrap my head around it - feel free to add/correct as well if I've messed something up

As some of you know, I try to convert models to either fp32 or bf16 depending on theirs size before doing imatrix and quantization
Today I decided to see if that matters, and the results have me.. for lack of a better word, perplexed
My setup:
Mistral Nemo Instruct 2407
- convert to FP32, calculate imatrix, quantize to Q8_0 and Q4_K_M
- convert to FP16, calculate imatrix, quantize to Q8_0 and Q4_K_M
I calculated the kld base from the FP32 model:
then calculated the divergence itself for each like so:
Q4_K_M from fp16 and fp32 were similar, trading blows across statistics, odd since i expected fp32 to be strictly better but it's not
Q8_0 is where things get weird. Despite each file being slightly different size, and the sha256sum of course being different, they each get *completely identical* scores, down to 6 decimal places of precision on the statistics.
How is this possible? Is there something I don't understand about llama.cpp that makes it always convert to fp16 before it does quantization? Am I wasting time using FP32/BF16??

Today we're starting a new initiative: LM Studio Community Models! ๐ค
@bartowski , a prolific quantizer (both GGUF and EXL2) will be helping to curate notable new models in LM Studio's Community Models page:
lmstudio-community
.
Our goal is to ensure the community has access to GGUF files for new & noteworthy models as soon as possible. Keep an eye on that page for updates.
If you're unfamiliar with GGUF, it's the de-facto standard for 'compressed' LLM weights. It is the native format of llama.cpp (https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp, an LLM runtime C/C++ library.) This format is supported in LM Studio.
We will also be sharing new models on the LM Studio Discord: https://discord.gg/aPQfnNkxGC
