Provided Quants

(sorted by size, not necessarily quality. IQ-quants are often preferable over similar sized non-IQ quants)

Link	Type	Size/GB	Notes
GGUF	i1-Q2_K	15.7	IQ3_XXS probably better
GGUF	i1-IQ3_XXS	16.5	lower quality
GGUF	i1-IQ3_XS	17.5
GGUF	i1-Q3_K_S	18.5	IQ3_XS probably better
GGUF	i1-IQ3_S	18.5	beats Q3_K*
GGUF	i1-IQ3_M	18.8
GGUF	i1-Q3_K_M	20.5	IQ3_S probably better
GGUF	i1-Q3_K_L	22.1	IQ3_M probably better
GGUF	i1-IQ4_XS	22.8
GGUF	i1-Q4_0	24.2	fast, low quality
GGUF	i1-Q4_K_S	24.3	optimal size/speed/quality
GGUF	i1-Q4_K_M	25.8	fast, recommended
GGUF	i1-Q4_1	26.7
GGUF	i1-Q5_K_S	29.3

Thanks

I thank my company, nethype GmbH, for letting me use its servers and providing upgrades to my workstation to enable this work in my free time. Additional thanks to @nicoboss for giving me access to his private supercomputer, enabling me to provide many more imatrix quants, at much higher quality, than I would otherwise be able to.
