bartowski unveils per-tensor layout maps for GGUF quantization, tests show across-the-board gains

Well-known quantizer bartowski published a blog post on new per-tensor layout maps for his GGUF model uploads, reshaping how tensors are laid out in quantized models.

He avoids claiming "Pareto frontier" or "best models in the world", but says tests show the new shapes are better across the board than his previous uploads, and the work is still ongoing. Full research is on his Hugging Face blog.
