New Quants for Muse-Glimmer-30B: Pushing Closer to BF16 at Lower VRAM
KvAk_AKPlaysYT · reddit · 2026-08-12
An independent researcher released new quantized versions (GGUF) for the recently released Muse-Glimmer-30B model on Hugging Face. The author applied novel quantization-optimization techniques, including pending paper tricks and tensor-mapping algorithms, claiming these quants never lose to existing ones across all VRAM classes.
Notably, their Q8 quant is smaller than the standard UD-Q8KXL while being 21% closer to the original BF16 precision. The full evaluation methodology, confidence intervals, and held-out slices are publicly available, with a detailed technical write-up promised soon.
