Not found in the representative quant search (not proven unavailable): GGUF FP16, MLX 8-bit, MLX 4-bit, EXL3, AWQ, GPTQ. Complete selected file sets; projectors, MTP/draft and lookup files are listed separately and budgeted only by plans that use them. File bytes are not allocated memory.

Publisher-reported benchmarks

None extracted from the model card.

AA and Arena describe the hosted model in the stated mode, not each quantized file; scores are never inherited by base, pruned, abliterated or quantized variants and never averaged together.

How to run it

No model-specific recipe in the research. The planner binds the backend’s documented command template (llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio, MLX, vLLM) to your plan: open a plan’s details.

Recipes are source examples (settings are the publisher’s or author’s, not measured optima) and were not executed by LocalFit. A downloadable file does not prove your backend build supports the architecture.
