# AI-Sweden Llama-3-8B-instruct — EXL2

ExLlamaV2 / EXL2 quants of [AI-Sweden-Models/Llama-3-8B-instruct](https://huggingface.co/AI-Sweden-Models/Llama-3-8B-instruct).  
That checkpoint is a Swedish/Nordic instruct tune of Llama 3 8B. Official Hub files are BF16 (and a separate GGUF); there were no EXL2 uploads.

Converted with **ExLlamaV2 0.3.2**, `lm_head` at 6-bit, **built-in default calibration** (same recipe as turboderp-style quants). One measurement pass, then each bitrate from `measurement.json`.

## Branches

| Revision | Target bpw | Size (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| [`4.0bpw`](../../tree/4.0bpw) | 4.0 | 4.7 GB |
| [`4.5bpw`](../../tree/4.5bpw) | 4.5 | 5.1 GB |
| [`5.0bpw`](../../tree/5.0bpw) | 5.0 | 5.5 GB |
| [`5.5bpw`](../../tree/5.5bpw) | 5.5 | 5.9 GB |
| [`6.0bpw`](../../tree/6.0bpw) | 6.0 | 6.3 GB |

[`measurement.json`](../../blob/main/measurement.json) is on `main` if you want to roll another bitrate yourself.

Download a revision:

```bash
hf download oxfrug/Llama-3-8B-instruct-exl2 --revision 5.0bpw --local-dir ./Llama-3-8B-instruct-exl2-5.0bpw
```

TabbyAPI / ExUI: point the model path at a checked-out branch, or set the HF revision to `5.0bpw`.

## Notes

- **License:** [Meta Llama 3 Community License](https://llama.meta.com/llama3/license). Keep the `NOTICE` file. This is a derivative of Meta Llama 3 via AI Sweden’s instruct tune.
- **Loader:** ExLlamaV2 (TabbyAPI, text-generation-webui `exllamav2`, ExUI). Not GGUF / llama.cpp.
- On **PyTorch 2.13** without Flash Attention 2.5.7+, set `config.no_sdpa = True` before load. Default SDPA + `causal_lower_right` produced collapsed output in our tests; the explicit matmul path matched BF16 (6.0bpw raw-EN first 16 tokens identical). Older torch + flash-attn (paged attention) is the usual community stack and was not the convert path.
- These are **not** the experimental Swedish-heavy calibration files. Default EXL2 cal is what other EXL2 repos ship.

## Smoke (greedy, `no_sdpa=True`)

6.0bpw, same chat template as the BF16 card:

| Prompt | Output |
|---|---|
| `Vad heter Sveriges huvudstad? Ett ord.` | `Huvudstaden i Sverige är Stockholm.` |
| `Name the capital of Sweden in one word.` | `Stockholm` |

4.0bpw is coherent on the same prompts (Swedish-first on the English question, like the BF16 base). This is not a leaderboard score.
