Experimental global target bits‑per‑weight quantization of IFM/K2-Horizon-7B and IFM/K2-Horizon-MoVA-36B-A4B.

Unlike standard llama.cpp quantization that rely on fixed type heuristics (e.g., Q4_K_M), the Target BPW approach automatically optimizes per-tensor precision where it matters the most, and produces high quality models that meet a precise global size target.

Key Advantages:
- VRAM Maximization: Can generate high quality models sized exactly to fit hardware constraints (e.g., fitting the model into exactly 24GB VRAM).
- Data-Driven Precision: Quantization mix is determined by actual weight error sensitivity rather than hardcoded rules, often yielding better PPL/KLD size trade-offs.

Full benchmarks (PPL, KLD, ARC, GPQA, MMLU, etc.) and methodology in the model's card.
