đ Athena-70B-L3 Quantized Model
This project provides quantized versions of the Athena-70B-L3 model, offering various options for different usage scenarios.
đ Quick Start
If you're new to using GGUF files, check out TheBloke's READMEs for detailed instructions, including how to concatenate multi - part files.
⨠Features
- Offers weighted/imatrix quants of the base model from https://huggingface.co/AiMavenAi/Athena-70B-L3.
- Provides a variety of quantized versions with different sizes and characteristics.
đ Documentation
About
The model is a quantized version of AiMavenAi/Athena-70B-L3. Weighted/imatrix quants are provided, and static quants can be found at mradermacher/Athena-70B-L3-GGUF.
Usage
Refer to TheBloke's READMEs for detailed usage instructions of GGUF files, including how to handle multi - part files.
Provided Quants
The following table lists the provided quantized models, sorted by size (not necessarily quality. IQ - quants are often preferable over similar sized non - IQ quants):

Thanks
I'm grateful to my company, nethype GmbH, for allowing me to use its servers and upgrading my workstation, which enables me to do this work in my free time. I also want to thank @nicoboss for giving me access to his private supercomputer, which allows me to provide many more high - quality imatrix quants.
