FAQ

1. Q: What is the difference between quantization types?

   A: Different quantization types offer various tradeoffs between model size and inference quality. IQ1_S is the smallest but has worst quality and quantization time, while Q8_0 offers better quality but larger file size and faster quantization.

2. Q: Can I quantize any HuggingFace model?

   A: Most HuggingFace models compatible with the GGUF format can be quantized using AutoGGUF, although you need to first convert it with the command python convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype auto path_to_your_hf_model and then move the GGUF to the models folder.

3. Q: How long does quantization take?

   A: Quantization time depends on the model size, quantization type, and your hardware. It can range from minutes to several hours.
