PLEASE make one like this for Maverick (LLaMA 4)
Please make something like this for llama 4 Maverick. It will be SO helpful. When is something like that going to come?
Oh, Sorry I found it now, but there doesn't seem to be system requirements for it shown like it did on your page for r1

Hi there it's here: https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E-Instruct-GGUF
What do you mean by system requirements? You should have similar system requirements to R1 but R1 is like 30% bigger so you can get away with 30% less hardware
I know it's 30% bigger, in terms of total params, but R1 has bigger experts (37b I recall) compared to 17b
Also, do you have a script to do this kind of thing, I'd like it if it was there for R1 1776

We also have for R1 1776. Search our hugging face
