If you see IQ, it stands for 'importance-aware' quantization, which generally performs better than standard K-quants when you're forced to go to very low bit rates like 3-bit. #selfhosting #batchinference #llm #quantization #gguf #localai 2/2

Below 4 bits, the quality drops sharply, and 2-bit models often produce visibly degraded text. If you are choosing a quant, aim for 4-bit to maximize efficiency without sacrificing coherence. #gpuoptimization #batchinference #selfhosting #quantization #llm #modelcompression 2/2
