DANTE-Mosaic-3.5B — GGUF Quantizations

GGUF quantized versions of OdaxAI/DANTE-Mosaic-3.5B for use with llama.cpp, LM Studio, Ollama, and other GGUF-compatible runtimes.

DANTE-Mosaic-3.5B is a multilingual foundation model by OdaxAI, trained in 21 A100-GPU-hours via generative cross-architecture distillation from the trillion-scale Kimi K2 teacher. #1 on MMLU and MMLU-Pro, #1 on GSM8K (tied Qwen3-4B-Base), #1 on HellaSwag — across the standard 3B4B open-weight basket.


Available Quantizations

File Quant Size Use case
DANTE-Mosaic-3.5B-Q4_K_M.gguf Q4_K_M 1.92 GB Recommended — best quality/size tradeoff
DANTE-Mosaic-3.5B-Q5_K_M.gguf Q5_K_M 2.21 GB Higher quality, still runs on 8 GB RAM
DANTE-Mosaic-3.5B-Q8_0.gguf Q8_0 3.28 GB Near-lossless, for GPU inference

Quick Start

llama.cpp

# Install (macOS)
brew install llama.cpp

# Run directly from HuggingFace
llama-cli -hf OdaxAI/DANTE-Mosaic-3.5B-GGUF:Q4_K_M

# Or start a local OpenAI-compatible server
llama-server -hf OdaxAI/DANTE-Mosaic-3.5B-GGUF:Q4_K_M

Ollama

ollama run OdaxAI_00/dante-mosaic-3.5b

Or via HuggingFace (no account needed):

ollama run hf.co/OdaxAI/DANTE-Mosaic-3.5B-GGUF:Q4_K_M

Or build from the Modelfile included in this repo:

ollama create dante-mosaic -f Modelfile
ollama run dante-mosaic

LM Studio

  1. Open LM Studio → Discover tab
  2. Search OdaxAI/DANTE-Mosaic-3.5B-GGUF
  3. Download Q4_K_M (recommended) and start chatting

Python (llama-cpp-python)

from llama_cpp import Llama

llm = Llama.from_pretrained(
    repo_id="OdaxAI/DANTE-Mosaic-3.5B-GGUF",
    filename="DANTE-Mosaic-3.5B-Q4_K_M.gguf",
    n_ctx=4096,
    n_gpu_layers=-1,  # offload all layers to GPU if available
)

response = llm(
    "Solve step by step: if a train travels 120 km in 1.5 hours, what is its average speed?",
    max_tokens=256,
    temperature=0.7,
    echo=False,
)
print(response["choices"][0]["text"])

Docker

docker model run hf.co/OdaxAI/DANTE-Mosaic-3.5B-GGUF:Q4_K_M

★ DANTE evaluated on canonical 5-shot MMLU; peers use harder MMLU-CF (cloze). ᶜᶠ MMLU-CF. ⁺ Harder + variants. Peer numbers from the SmolLM3 technical report (Table 1), single harness run.

Wins vs. the basket: #1 MMLU (+11.7 pp over next-best), #1 MMLU-Pro, #1 GSM8K (tied Qwen3-4B-Base), #1 HellaSwag. Code (HumanEval/MBPP) is the honest gap — targeted in the next iteration.
