⨠Features
This model is based on the Llama architecture and is designed for text - generation tasks. It comes with different quantization options to suit various hardware and performance requirements.
đĻ Repositories Available
- AWQ model(s) for GPU inference.
- GPTQ models for GPU inference, with multiple quantisation parameter options.
- 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 - bit GGUF models for CPU+GPU inference
- ddh0's original unquantised fp16 model in pytorch format, for GPU inference and for further conversions

đ Licensing
The creator of the source model has listed its license as other
, and this quantization uses the same license. As this model is based on Llama 2, it is also subject to the Meta Llama 2 license terms, and the license files for that are additionally included. Any questions regarding licensing should be directed to the original model repository: ddh0's Norocetacean 20B 10K.
đ§ Compatibility
These quantised GGUFv2 files are compatible with llama.cpp from August 27th onwards, as of commit d0cee0d. They are also compatible with many third - party UIs and libraries.
Explanation of Quantisation Methods
Click to see details
The new methods available are:
- GGML_TYPE_Q2_K - "type - 1" 2 - bit quantization in super - blocks containing 16 blocks, each block having 16 weight. Block scales and mins are quantized with 4 bits. This ends up effectively using 2.5625 bits per weight (bpw)
- GGML_TYPE_Q3_K - "type - 0" 3 - bit quantization in super - blocks containing 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 6 bits. This end up using 3.4375 bpw.
- GGML_TYPE_Q4_K - "type - 1" 4 - bit quantization in super - blocks containing 8 blocks, each block having 32 weights. Scales and mins are quantized with 6 bits. This ends up using 4.5 bpw.
- GGML_TYPE_Q5_K - "type - 1" 5 - bit quantization. Same super - block structure as GGML_TYPE_Q4_K resulting in 5.5 bpw
- GGML_TYPE_Q6_K - "type - 0" 6 - bit quantization. Super - blocks with 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 8 bits. This ends up using 6.5625 bpw

Note: the above RAM figures assume no GPU offloading. If layers are offloaded to the GPU, this will reduce RAM usage and use VRAM instead.
đĨ How to Download GGUF Files
Note for manual downloaders: You almost never want to clone the entire repo! Multiple different quantisation formats are provided, and most users only want to pick and download a single file.
The following clients/libraries will automatically download models for you, providing a list of available models to choose from:
- LM Studio
- LoLLMS Web UI
- Faraday.dev
In text - generation - webui
Under Download Model, you can enter the model repo: TheBloke/Norocetacean-20B-10k-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: norocetacean-20b-10k.Q4_K_M.gguf. Then click Download.
On the command line, including multiple files at once
I recommend using the huggingface - hub
Python library:
pip3 install huggingface - hub
Then you can download any individual model file to the current directory, at high speed, with a command like this:
huggingface - cli download TheBloke/Norocetacean-20B-10k-GGUF norocetacean-20b-10k.Q4_K_M.gguf --local - dir . --local - dir - use - symlinks False
More advanced huggingface - cli download usage (click to read)
You can also download multiple files at once with a pattern:
huggingface - cli download TheBloke/Norocetacean-20B-10k-GGUF --local - dir . --local - dir - use - symlinks False --include='*Q4_K*gguf'
For more documentation on downloading with huggingface - cli
, please see: [HF -> Hub Python Library -> Download files -> Download from the CLI](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/guides/download#download - from - the - cli).
To accelerate downloads on fast connections (1Gbit/s or higher), install hf_transfer
:
pip3 install hf_transfer
And set environment variable HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER
to 1
:
HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER = 1 huggingface - cli download TheBloke/Norocetacean-20B-10k-GGUF norocetacean-20b-10k.Q4_K_M.gguf --local - dir . --local - dir - use - symlinks False
Windows Command Line users: You can set the environment variable by running set HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER = 1
before the download command.
