Q8_0 means 8-bit integer quantization: weights are stored in 8-bit blocks, each block carrying a scale factor, roughly halving compared with FP16, with very little precision loss but almost no memory savings.

UnverifiedQ6 quantization means each weight is stored using 6 bits, saving approximately 62% of memory usage compared to FP16.77% similarVerifiedQ4 means each weight is stored using 4-bit integers, reducing the size by approximately 75% compared to the original 16-bit floating point74% similarUnverifiedQ4 quantized weights are approximately 111GB, which neither VRAM nor RAM can fully accommodate, requiring missing experts to be transferred from the SSD through RAM into VRAM, with the bottleneck being bandwidth rather than compute.73% similarUnverifiedIn the GGUF quantization format, Q5_K indicates that most weights are stored at 5-bit precision, while the _L/_XL suffixes indicate that the attention layers retain the higher precision of Q8_0.71% similar
