First, make sure you have the Hugging Face CLI installed:

```
pip install -U "huggingface_hub[cli]"
```

Download a specific file:

```
hf download bartowski/SpatialAxiom_SpatialAxiom-9B-GGUF --include "SpatialAxiom_SpatialAxiom-9B-Q4_K_M.gguf" --local-dir ./
```

</details>

## How to run

These quants run with [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp) - installable in one line via [llama.app](https://llama.app/):

```
curl -LsSf https://llama.app/install.sh | sh
llama-server -hf bartowski/SpatialAxiom_SpatialAxiom-9B-GGUF:Q4_K_M
```

llama-server includes a built-in chat web UI, served at http://localhost:8080 by default.

These quants were made with llama.cpp release b10326 - if this model's architecture is newly supported, you'll need that release or newer to run them.

They also work in: [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/) 路 [koboldcpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp) 路 [ramalama](https://github.com/containers/ramalama) 路 [Jan AI](https://www.jan.ai/) 路 [Text Generation Web UI](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui) 路 [LoLLMs](https://github.com/ParisNeo/lollms) 路 [Atomic Chat](https://atomic.chat/)

## Multimodal

This model supports image input. Alongside the quants, this repo includes the multimodal projector files [mmproj-SpatialAxiom_SpatialAxiom-9B-f16.gguf](https://huggingface.co/bartowski/SpatialAxiom_SpatialAxiom-9B-GGUF/blob/main/mmproj-SpatialAxiom_SpatialAxiom-9B-f16.gguf) and [mmproj-SpatialAxiom_SpatialAxiom-9B-bf16.gguf](https://huggingface.co/bartowski/SpatialAxiom_SpatialAxiom-9B-GGUF/blob/main/mmproj-SpatialAxiom_SpatialAxiom-9B-bf16.gguf), which pair with any quant above.

llama.cpp downloads the mmproj automatically when using `-hf` as shown above; if you're loading files manually, pass it with `--mmproj`.

## imatrix

All quants made using imatrix option with dataset from [here](https://gist.github.com/bartowski1182/82ae9b520227f57d79ba04add13d0d0d). The imatrix is available here: [SpatialAxiom_SpatialAxiom-9B-imatrix.gguf](https://huggingface.co/bartowski/SpatialAxiom_SpatialAxiom-9B-GGUF/blob/main/SpatialAxiom_SpatialAxiom-9B-imatrix.gguf).

## Embed/output weights

Some of these quants (Q3_K_XL, Q4_K_L etc) are the standard quantization method with the embeddings and output weights quantized to Q8_0 instead of what they would normally default to.

## ARM/AVX information

llama.cpp automatically "repacks" weights into an interleaved layout at load time for faster inference on ARM and AVX machines - details in [this PR](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/9921). This once required downloading special Q4_0_4_4/4_8/8_8 files; those are long gone. Online repacking now covers Q4_0, IQ4_NL, and most K-quants, so no special quant choice is needed for CPU inference.

## Which file should I choose?

<details>
  <summary>Click here for details</summary>

An older (early 2024) but still useful write-up with charts comparing quant performances is provided by Artefact2 [here](https://gist.github.com/Artefact2/b5f810600771265fc1e39442288e8ec9)

The first thing to figure out is how big a model you can run. To do this, you'll need to figure out how much RAM and/or VRAM you have.

If you want your model running as FAST as possible, you'll want to fit the whole thing on your GPU's VRAM. Aim for a quant with a file size 1-2GB smaller than your GPU's total VRAM.

If you want the absolute maximum quality, add both your system RAM and your GPU's VRAM together, then similarly grab a quant with a file size 1-2GB Smaller than that total.

Hugging Face can also do this math for you: add your hardware in your [Local Apps settings](https://huggingface.co/settings/local-apps) and the model page will show which files fit.

Next, you'll need to decide if you want to use an 'I-quant' or a 'K-quant'.

If you don't want to think too much, grab one of the K-quants. These are in format 'QX_K_X', like Q5_K_M.

If you want to get more into the weeds, you can check out this extremely useful feature chart:

[llama.cpp feature matrix](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/wiki/Feature-matrix)

But basically, if you're aiming for below Q4, and you're running cuBLAS (Nvidia) or rocBLAS (AMD), you should look towards the I-quants. These are in format IQX_X, like IQ3_M. These are newer and offer better performance for their size.

These I-quants can also be used on CPU, but will be slower than their K-quant equivalent, so speed vs performance is a tradeoff you'll have to decide.
