> For **Llama-3** models that don't follow the ChatML, Alpaca, Vicuna and other conventional formats, at the moment, you have to use `gguf-imat-llama-3.py` and replace the config files with the ones in the [**ChaoticNeutrals/Llama3-Corrections**](https://huggingface.co/ChaoticNeutrals/Llama3-Corrections/tree/main) repository to properly quant and generate the imatrix data. |

# GGUF-IQ-Imatrix-Quantization-Script: |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Simple python script (`gguf-imat.py`) to generate various GGUF-IQ-Imatrix quantizations from a Hugging Face `author/model` input, for Windows and NVIDIA hardware. |
|
|
|
This is setup for a Windows machine with 8GB of VRAM, assuming use with an NVIDIA GPU. If you want to change the `-ngl` (number of GPU layers) amount, you can do so at [**line 141**](https://huggingface.co/FantasiaFoundry/GGUF-Quantization-Script/blob/main/gguf-imat.py#L141). This is only relevant during the `--imatrix` data generation. If you don't have enough VRAM you can decrease the `-ngl` amount or set it to 0 to only use your System RAM instead for all layers, this will make the imatrix data generation take longer, so it's a good idea to find the number that gives your own machine the best results. |
|
|
|
Your `imatrix.txt` is expected to be located inside the `imatrix` folder. I have already included a file that is considered a good starting option, [this discussion](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/discussions/5263#discussioncomment-8395384) is where it came from. If you have suggestions or other imatrix data to recommend, please do so. |
|
|
|
Adjust `quantization_options` in [**line 159**](https://huggingface.co/FantasiaFoundry/GGUF-Quantization-Script/blob/main/gguf-imat.py#L159). |

|
|
> [!NOTE] |
|
> Models downloaded to be used for quantization are cached at `C:\Users\{{User}}\.cache\huggingface\hub`. You can delete these files manually as needed after you're done with your quantizations, you can do it directly from your Terminal if you prefer with the `rmdir "C:\Users\{{User}}\.cache\huggingface\hub"` command. You can put it into another script or alias it to a convenient command if you prefer. |
