# Pythonified-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct - GGUF Quantized

Quantized GGUF versions of [Pythonified-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/theprint/Pythonified-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct) for use with llama.cpp and other GGUF-compatible inference engines.

## Original Model

- **Base model:** [meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct)
- **Fine-tuned model:** [theprint/Pythonified-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/theprint/Pythonified-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct)
- **Quantized by:** theprint

## Available Quantizations

- `Pythonified-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-f16.gguf` (6135.6 MB) - 16-bit float (original precision, largest file)
- `Pythonified-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-q3_k_m.gguf` (1609.0 MB) - 3-bit quantization (medium quality)
- `Pythonified-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-q4_k_m.gguf` (1925.8 MB) - 4-bit quantization (medium, recommended for most use cases)
- `Pythonified-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-q5_k_m.gguf` (2214.6 MB) - 5-bit quantization (medium, good quality)
- `Pythonified-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-q6_k.gguf` (2521.4 MB) - 6-bit quantization (high quality)
- `Pythonified-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-q8_0.gguf` (3263.4 MB) - 8-bit quantization (very high quality)

## Usage

### With llama.cpp

```bash
# Download recommended quantization
wget https://huggingface.co/theprint/Pythonified-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-GGUF/resolve/main/Pythonified-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-q4_k_m.gguf

# Run inference
./llama.cpp/main -m Pythonified-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-q4_k_m.gguf \
  -p "Your prompt here" \
  -n 256 \
  --temp 0.7 \
  --top-p 0.9
```

### With other GGUF tools

These files are compatible with:
- [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp)
- [Ollama](https://ollama.ai/) (import as custom model)
- [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp)
- [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui)

## Quantization Info

**Recommended:** `q4_k_m` provides the best balance of size, speed, and quality for most use cases.

**For maximum quality:** Use `q8_0` or `f16`  
**For maximum speed/smallest size:** Use `q3_k_m` or `q4_k_s`
