# Qwen3 GGUF (4_K_M Quantized)
|
| 5 |
+
|
| 6 |
+
This repository hosts GGUF-format quantized versions of Qwen3 models at multiple parameter sizes.
|
| 7 |
+
All models are quantized at 4_K_M, selected to provide a practical balance of inference performance, memory usage, and output quality.
|
| 8 |
+
|
| 9 |
+
These files are intended for use with SciTools’ Understand and Onboard, as well as other tools and runtimes that support the GGUF format (for example, llama.cpp-based applications).
|
| 10 |
+

+
## Model Details
|
| 14 |
+
|
| 15 |
+
- Base models: Qwen3 (various parameter sizes)
|
| 16 |
+
- Format: GGUF
|
| 17 |
+
- Quantization: 4_K_M
|
| 18 |
+
- Intended use: Local inference, code understanding, general-purpose chat
|
| 19 |
+
- Languages: Multilingual (as supported by Qwen3)
|
| 20 |
+
|
| 21 |
+
### Available Variants
|
| 22 |
+
|
| 23 |
+
This repository includes multiple Qwen3 parameter sizes, each quantized independently but consistently using the same 4_K_M scheme. Refer to the file names for exact parameter counts.

## Quantization Process
|
| 28 |
+
|
| 29 |
+
- All models are quantized using the 4_K_M quantization method.
|
| 30 |
+
- Quantization was performed directly by the Qwen team where available.
|
| 31 |
+
- In a small number of cases, quantization was performed by Unsloth.
|
| 32 |
+
- No further modifications, rebalancing, or fine-tuning were applied.
|
| 33 |
+
- The quantization parameters and defaults were not altered from the original sources.
|
| 34 |
+
|
| 35 |
+
The goal is to provide faithful, reproducible GGUF variants that behave as closely as possible to their upstream counterparts within the constraints of 4-bit quantization.
|

## What We Did Not Do
|
| 40 |
+
|
| 41 |
+
To be explicit:
|
| 42 |
+
|
| 43 |
+
- No additional fine-tuning
|
| 44 |
+
- No instruction rebalancing
|
| 45 |
+
- No safety, alignment, or prompt modifications
|
| 46 |
+
- No merging or model surgery
|
| 47 |
+
|
| 48 |
+
If a model behaves a certain way, that behavior comes from Qwen3 combined with 4_K_M quantization, not from any downstream changes here.

|

+
## Intended Use
|
| 53 |
+
|
| 54 |
+
These models are suitable for:
|
| 55 |
+
|
| 56 |
+
- SciTools Understand and SciTools Onboard
|
| 57 |
+
- Local AI workflows
|
| 58 |
+
- Code comprehension and exploration
|
| 59 |
+
- Interactive chat and analysis
|
| 60 |
+
- Integration into developer tools that support GGUF
|
| 61 |
+
|
| 62 |
+
They are not intended for:
|
| 63 |
+
|
| 64 |
+
- Safety-critical or regulated decision-making
|
| 65 |
+
- Use cases requiring guaranteed factual accuracy
|
| 66 |
+
- Production deployment without independent evaluation
|
| 67 |
+
|
| 68 |
+

|
| 69 |
+
|
| 70 |
+
## Limitations
|
| 71 |
+
|
| 72 |
+
- As 4-bit quantized models, some degradation in reasoning depth and numerical precision is expected compared to full-precision checkpoints.
|
| 73 |
+
- Output quality varies by parameter size and task.
|
| 74 |
+
- Like all large language models, Qwen3 may produce hallucinations or incorrect information.
|
| 75 |
+
|
| 76 |
+
Evaluate carefully for your specific workload.
