✨ ASCII Machine GGUF ✨

Quantized versions of PinkPixel/ASCII-Machine

NOTE: This is the first version of this model and it may not always generate perfect ASCII art. Fine tuning is still in progress and there will be updated versions coming soon.

📦 Model Overview

This repository contains GGUF (llama.cpp) compatible versions of ASCII Machine, a specialized model for ASCII art generation based on Qwen3.5-2B.

Main Model: PinkPixel/ASCII-Machine
Architecture: Qwen3.5-2B
Trained in: Unsloth Studio
Dataset: PinkPixel/ASCII-Art

⚠️ Important Note: Vision Support

ASCII Machine features advanced vision-language capabilities. However, due to the very new architecture of Qwen3.5-2B, vision support (mmproj) may not yet be fully functional in current versions of llama.cpp, LM Studio, or Ollama.

We have included the mmproj.gguf files for experimentation, but expect updates as the ecosystem matures.

💾 Available Quantizations

File Name	Description
`ascii-machine.BF16.gguf`	Original Brain Float 16 precision
`ascii-machine.F16.gguf`	Half-precision Float 16
`ascii-machine.Q8_0.gguf`	8-bit quantization (High quality, large)
`ascii-machine.Q6_K.gguf`	6-bit quantization (Excellent balance)
`ascii-machine.Q5_K_M.gguf`	5-bit quantization (Recommended)
`ascii-machine.Q4_K_M.gguf`	4-bit quantization (Standard)
`ascii-machine.Q3_K_M.gguf`	3-bit quantization (Small)
`ascii-machine.Q2_K_L.gguf`	2-bit quantization (Extreme compression)
`ascii-machine.BF16-mmproj.gguf`	Vision adapter (Experimental)
