# Tensor Type Testing
> [!TIP]
> Skip to the bottom of this document for a TL;DR
For more info, see [llama.cpp #12511: Handle user-defined quantization levels for additional tensors](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/12511) by @EAddario
Testing done by @ddh0 using [this branch](https://github.com/EAddario/llama.cpp/tree/quantize) as of committ [5a304b8](https://github.com/EAddario/llama.cpp/commit/5a304b8e26b8c53f43e8d12515e52f9bb7d199f0). Using libllama built for Linux CUDA.
## Quantization naming scheme
```
Model-Name-E{TYPE_EMBD}-F{TYPE_FFN}-A{TYPE_ATTN}-O{TYPE_OUTPUT}.gguf
```
for example `Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-EQ4_K-FQ4_K-AQ8_0-OQ8_0.gguf`:
- Model is Llama 3.1 8B Instruct
- TYPE_EMBD (token embeddings) are in Q4_K
- TYPE_FFN (MLP / feed-forward tensors) are in Q4_K
- TYPE_ATTN (K,Q,V attention and attention output tensors) are in Q8_0
- TYPE_OUTPUT (output tensor) is in Q8_0

## TL;DR
Mean-Squared Deviation as compared to BF16, average over 10 inputs (lower is better):
| | Q2_K | Crush TYPE_EMBD | Crush TYPE_FFN | Crush TYPE_ATTN | Crush TYPE_OUTPUT | Q8_0 |
| ------------ | -------- | --------------- | -------------- | --------------- | ----------------- | ---------- |
| Llama 3.2 3B | 1.504 | 0.344 | 4.693 | 1.528 | N/A | 0.002 |
| Qwen2.5-14B | 1.393 | 0.016 | 2.160 | 0.606 | 0.921 | 0.005 |
| **Average** | **1.44** | **0.18** | **3.42** | **1.06** | **0.921** | **0.0035** |
In short, we can see that aggressive quantization of the FFN tensors causes the greatest deviation from BF16, and aggressive quantization of the token embeddings causes the least deviation. Note that deviations greater than ~0.1 start to have a noticeable effect on the quality of the model's output. Realistically, it's probably wise to stick to any combination of Q3_K, Q4_K, Q5_K, Q6_K, and Q8_0 depending on your situation.
