# Pingala-8: 2-bit LLMs for llama.cpp
Landing page for Pingala-8 by Genrius AI, a 2-bit GGUF format that compresses models you already have, with no retraining.
- Qwen3-4B: 8.05 GB to 1.24 GB (85% smaller). WikiText-2 perplexity 16.64 against 28.61 for llama.cpp IQ2_XXS and 18.15 for IQ2_KT at the same size (fp16: 12.46).
- Quiz average 50.8 against 41.9 for IQ2_XXS (+21%), keeping 90% of the 8-bit original's 56.3.
- Llama-3.1-8B (pre-registered): 8.44 against 9.36 for IQ2_KT.
- Limits: loses to IQ2_KT on Qwen3-14B (9.57 vs 9.40); prompt processing 0.74x of IQ2_XXS; needs our patched llama.cpp (CUDA). A retrained model (Ternary Bonsai 4B, 11.59 at 1.07 GB) scores higher.
This Space is a static page. There is no live chat here because the format needs a CUDA GPU and the patched runtime.
