Model file specification

Filename	Quant type	File Size	Description
granite-3.0-8b-instruct-Q2_K.gguf	Q2_K	2.890 GB	smallest, significant quality loss - not recommended for most purposes
granite-3.0-8b-instruct-Q3_K_S.gguf	Q3_K_S	3.346 GB	very small, high quality loss

Downloading instruction

Command line

Firstly, install Huggingface Client

pip install -U "huggingface_hub[cli]"

Then, downoad the individual model file the a local directory

huggingface-cli download tensorblock/granite-3.0-8b-instruct-GGUF --include "granite-3.0-8b-instruct-Q2_K.gguf" --local-dir MY_LOCAL_DIR

If you wanna download multiple model files with a pattern (e.g., *Q4_K*gguf), you can try:

huggingface-cli download tensorblock/granite-3.0-8b-instruct-GGUF --local-dir MY_LOCAL_DIR --local-dir-use-symlinks False --include='*Q4_K*gguf'
