|
| 114 |
+
| Bits | Approx size | Use case | Recommendation |
|
| 115 |
+
|---|---|---|---|
|
| 116 |
+
| 2-bit | ~799 MB | Aggressive quantization | Very low-RAM Macs |
|
| 117 |
+
| 3-bit | ~1.1 GB | Lossy but small | Low-RAM Macs |
|
| 118 |
+
| **4-bit** | ~1.3 GB | Balanced default | **Recommended for most Macs** |
|
| 119 |
+
| 5-bit | ~1.5 GB | Higher fidelity | Quality-sensitive |
|
| 120 |
+
| 6-bit | ~1.8 GB | Approaching FP16 quality | High-fidelity |
|
| 121 |
+
| 8-bit | ~2.3 GB | Near-lossless reference | Fidelity-critical work |
|
