Anima Base 1.0 GSQ-RCO quantized (safetensor+gguf) proof of concept - v1.0 Showcase
TL:DR
The custom int8 x bf16 is very close to base model for only 2.4GB
The custom GGUF is the best I've manage to get before quality take a hit and lose to closeness to base model.
Based on ISTA-DAS labs Non-uniform GGUF quantizations via GSQ + RCO: per-tensor mixed precision in standard GGUF form.
There is also a int8 convrot created using the same pattern, where a handfull of tensor have been "buffed" to BF16.
Both models went throught some overnight gpu compute to be done and manual curating by me.
I post here the 2 models I think are the closest to base model at a fraction of the weight.
It's mostly experimental, can be usefull for 2 class of people
User with "old" 4gb or 6gb gpu, This give some headroom for lora stacks and higher res and batchs
User with massive workflow who want everything to in VRAM.
People like me who just want to try ^
