Weighted / imatrix quants of aimeri/spoomplesmaxx-jackdaw-35B-A3.

Static quants are not provided: at every size that matters the imatrix quant of the same name is at least as good, so this repo is the whole set.

Provenance

llama.cpp b9222 (pinned; Qwen3.5 MoE conversion needs >= b9180)
Source bf16 GGUF converted from the SFT checkpoint with convert_hf_to_gguf.py
imatrix llama-imatrix --parse-special, 192 MB
Calibration 48 MB, 12.0M in-domain tokens (952 documents) rendered through this model's own chat template and truncated to exact 8192-token windows so imatrix chunks land on document boundaries; the generic term is unsloth's published imatrix for this architecture, merged after our own pass

The in-domain half exists because this is a sparse MoE: a token only touches its routed experts, so a small generic corpus leaves rare experts with no importance data at all. Coverage was gated before quantizing — every quantizable tensor has importance data and every expert row was activated above a token floor.

The Q4_K_M quant was verified after quantization: greedy generations terminate on <|im_end|> (not the token cap), think blocks close, no stray glyphs.

Measured

KL divergence of each quant against this model's own bf16, on a holdout that was excluded from calibration (evaluating on your own calibration domain flatters the numbers). Lower KLD is closer to the unquantized model.

quant size KLD mean KLD median KLD p99 ΔPPL same top-1
i1-IQ4_XS 18.7 GB 0.0223 0.0123 0.129 +0.83% 100.0%
i1-Q4_K_M 21.4 GB 0.0195 0.0102 0.121 +0.92% 100.0%

same top-1 is the share of holdout positions where the quant's most likely token is unchanged from bf16.

Which one do I want?

Roughly, higher in the table is smaller and worse. i1-Q4_K_M is the recommended default; i1-IQ4_XS if you need to save a little; i1-Q6_K if you have the memory and want to stop thinking about it.

Usage

llama-server -m spoomplesmaxx-jackdaw-35B-A3-i1-GGUF.i1-Q4_K_M.gguf -ngl 99 -c 32768 --jinja

--jinja matters: the chat template is embedded in the GGUF and pre-opens the <think> block, which is the behaviour the model was trained for. Tool calls use Qwen3.5's XML convention (<tool_call><function=NAME><parameter=KEY>VALUE</parameter></function></tool_call>).
