Recommended quantization gradient choices: Q8 is nearly lossless but has the largest footprint, Q6/Q5 are the sweet spot between quality and size, Q4_K_M is the default download version for most users, and the Q2/IQ series is suitable for use when the model barely fits.

UnverifiedCommunity practice recommends prioritizing Q5 or Q6 quantization if capacity allows; Q4_K_M is the minimum acceptable baseline, and Q3 or below causes significant quality degradation and is not recommended for production use.78% similarUnverifiedQ6_K 使用 6-bit 量化并结合 K-quants 分组技术，相比 Q4 量化损失更小，相比 Q8 量化体积更小78% similarUnverifiedFor most users with limited VRAM, Q4_K_M is the most cost-effective quantization choice.74% similarUnverifiedQ5 quantization is considered by the community to be the sweet spot between quality and size, with the model size being approximately 30–35% of the original FP16, and performance loss typically within only 1–3%.73% similarUnverifiedQ4_K_M (4-bit quantization, K-means optimized) is currently the best overall choice, with a precision loss of approximately 2–5%, and is the most widely used quantization format in the community.72% similar
