inkling-UD-Q2_K_XL

Distributed GGUF inference package for Mesh LLM

Experimental package: artifact integrity may be validated, but runtime, split-correctness, and multimodal certification are still pending. This package is not discoverable through meshllm/catalog@main until its Hugging Face catalog PR is reviewed and merged.

GGUF layer package for running inkling-UD-Q2_K_XL across a local Mesh LLM cluster.

This package is derived from unsloth/inkling-GGUF and keeps the original GGUF distribution split into per-layer artifacts for distributed inference.

Highlights

Run locally	Pool multiple machines	OpenAI-compatible	Package variant
Private inference on your hardware	Split layers across peers	Serve `/v1/chat/completions` locally	`UD-Q2_K_XL` layer package

Local and private inference with Mesh LLM.
Multi-machine serving when the full GGUF is too large for one host.
OpenAI-compatible chat/completions workflows through Mesh LLM's local API.

For upstream architecture details, chat template guidance, sampling recommendations, license terms, and benchmark notes, see the source model card: unsloth/inkling-GGUF.
