Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct GGUF DASLab Quantization

This repository contains advanced quantized versions of Llama 3.1 8B Instruct using GPTQ quantization and GPTQ+EvoPress optimization from the DASLab GGUF Toolkit.

Models

GPTQ Uniform: High-quality GPTQ quantization at 2-6 bit precision
GPTQ+EvoPress: Non-uniform per-layer quantization discovered via evolutionary search

Performance

Our GPTQ-based quantization methods achieve superior quality-compression tradeoffs compared to standard quantization:

Better perplexity at equivalent bitwidths vs. naive quantization approaches
Error-correcting updates during calibration for improved accuracy
Optimized configurations that allocate bits based on layer sensitivity (EvoPress)

Usage

Compatible with llama.cpp and all GGUF-supporting inference engines. No special setup required.
