AI Large Language Models
Quant Picker
Quant Picker helps you choose the optimal GGUF quantization for your LLM by balancing quality, context length, and speed based on your hardware.
Quant Picker
What is Quant Picker?
Quant Picker is a web tool that calculates the best GGUF quantization level for a given model and hardware setup, providing file sizes, context budgets, and token generation speed estimates.
How to use Quant Picker?
- 1Enter your model name (e.g., Llama 3.1 70B).
- 2Select your hardware (GPU and VRAM).
- 3Set your desired context length.
- 4Adjust KV cache precision if needed.
- 5Review the recommended quant, file size, and max context.
- 6Copy the provided run commands for llama.cpp or Ollama.
