This repository contains alternative Mistral-instruct-7B (https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2) quantized models in GGUF format for use with llama.cpp.
The models are fully compatible with the oficial llama.cpp release and can be used out-of-the-box.
I'm carefull to say "alternative" rather than "better" or "improved" as I have not put any effort into evaluating performance
differences in actual usage. Perplexity is lower compared to the "official" llama.cpp quantization, but perplexity is not
necessarily a good measure for real world performance. Nevertheless, perplexity does measure quantization error, so below is a table
comparing perplexities of these quantized models to the current llama.cpp quantization approach on Wikitext for a context length of 512 tokens.
The "Quantization Error" columns in the table are defined as (PPL(quantized model) - PPL(fp16))/PPL(fp16).
