This post tests the 1-bit quantized version of Hy3 (AngelSlim/Hy3-GGUF on HF), noting that the minimum footprint can be compressed down to approximately 89GB.
The author's main goal was to verify how much usability is retained in the most aggressively quantized format as model sizes continue to balloon. Real-world testing showed that it preserves a surprising amount of quality, even managing to generate a "relaxing flight simulator in a single HTML file" and producing viable outputs for SVG generation tasks, such as a panda picnic, a koala spa, and a pelican riding a bike.
