New quant types suggested: IQ2_K, IQ3_K, IQ4_K, IQ5_K and IQ6_K
"Squeeze your weights harder: new K-quants just dropped for the local LLM enjoyers."
Explain Like I'm Normal
A new set of quantization types (IQ_K series) has been proposed for llama.cpp, aiming to improve model accuracy over standard Q-quants while maintaining the same file size. By optimizing Kullback–Leibler divergence (KLD), these quants offer better performance at low bitrates, though they take longer to generate. This is a significant win for developers running high-parameter models on consumer hardware.
