đ Quick Start
Downloading using huggingface-cli
If you do not have hugginface-cli installed:
pip install -U "huggingface_hub[cli]"
Download the specific file you want:
huggingface-cli download legraphista/Mistral-NeMo-Minitron-8B-Base-IMat-GGUF --include "Mistral-NeMo-Minitron-8B-Base.Q8_0.gguf" --local-dir ./
If the model file is big, it has been split into multiple files. In order to download them all to a local folder, run:
huggingface-cli download legraphista/Mistral-NeMo-Minitron-8B-Base-IMat-GGUF --include "Mistral-NeMo-Minitron-8B-Base.Q8_0/*" --local-dir ./
# see FAQ for merging GGUF's
Inference
Llama.cpp
llama.cpp/main -m Mistral-NeMo-Minitron-8B-Base.Q8_0.gguf --color -i -p "prompt here"

đ§ Technical Details
The quantization process is based on llama.cpp's b3613 release. The IMatrix quantization is applied selectively based on the results of this investigation, which suggests that lower quantizations benefit the most from the IMatrix input.
đ License
This project is licensed under the nvidia-open-model-license.
đ FAQ
Why is the IMatrix not applied everywhere?
According to this investigation, it appears that lower quantizations are the only ones that benefit from the imatrix input (as per hellaswag results).
How do I merge a split GGUF?
- Make sure you have
gguf-split
available- To get hold of
gguf-split
, navigate to https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/releases - Download the appropriate zip for your system from the latest release
- Unzip the archive and you should be able to find
gguf-split
- To get hold of
- Locate your GGUF chunks folder (ex:
Mistral-NeMo-Minitron-8B-Base.Q8_0
) - Run
gguf-split --merge Mistral-NeMo-Minitron-8B-Base.Q8_0/Mistral-NeMo-Minitron-8B-Base.Q8_0-00001-of-XXXXX.gguf Mistral-NeMo-Minitron-8B-Base.Q8_0.gguf
- Make sure to point
gguf-split
to the first chunk of the split.
- Make sure to point
