Qwen3 8B Q4 K M GGUF

🚀 ufoym/Qwen3-8B-Q4_K_M-GGUF

This project converts the Qwen/Qwen3-8B model to the GGUF format, enabling efficient text generation using llama.cpp.

🚀 Quick Start

This model was converted to GGUF format from Qwen/Qwen3-8B using llama.cpp via the ggml.ai's GGUF-my-repo space. Refer to the original model card for more details on the model.

📦 Installation

Install llama.cpp through brew (works on Mac and Linux)

brew install llama.cpp

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

Invoke the llama.cpp server or the CLI.

CLI:

llama-cli --hf-repo ufoym/Qwen3-8B-Q4_K_M-GGUF --hf-file qwen3-8b-q4_k_m.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"

Server:

llama-server --hf-repo ufoym/Qwen3-8B-Q4_K_M-GGUF --hf-file qwen3-8b-q4_k_m.gguf -c 2048

Advanced Usage

Note: You can also use this checkpoint directly through the usage steps listed in the Llama.cpp repo as well.

Step 1: Clone llama.cpp from GitHub.

git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp

Step 2: Move into the llama.cpp folder and build it with LLAMA_CURL=1 flag along with other hardware-specific flags (for ex: LLAMA_CUDA=1 for Nvidia GPUs on Linux).

cd llama.cpp && LLAMA_CURL=1 make

Step 3: Run inference through the main binary.

./llama-cli --hf-repo ufoym/Qwen3-8B-Q4_K_M-GGUF --hf-file qwen3-8b-q4_k_m.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"

or

./llama-server --hf-repo ufoym/Qwen3-8B-Q4_K_M-GGUF --hf-file qwen3-8b-q4_k_m.gguf -c 2048
