Welcome to our guide on using GGUF files, specifically with the spow12ChatWaifu_v1.1 model. This tutorial is crafted to help you seamlessly integrate this model into your projects while ensuring you have access to the best quantized options available.

What is GGUF?

GGUF stands for Generalized Graph Update Format, a file format used for storing machine learning models in a quantized form. Think of GGUF files as efficient suitcases that hold your model packed neatly, making it easy to transport and utilize in your applications.

Available Quantized Files

The following quantized files are ready for you to use. They are sorted by file size but remember that smaller files may not always mean lower quality:

• Q2_K – 2.8GB
• IQ3_XS – 3.1GB
• Q3_K_S – 3.3GB
• IQ3_S – 3.3GB (beats Q3_K)
• IQ3_M – 3.4GB
• Q3_K_M – 3.6GB
• Q3_K_L – 3.9GB
• IQ4_XS – 4.0GB
• Q4_K_S – 4.2GB
• Q5_K_S – 5.1GB
• Q8_0 – 7.8GB (fast, best quality)
