Base model: Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct

Qwen3 Coder 30B A3B, self-quantized to GGUF by Atomic Chat. Built straight from Qwen's original weights with a per-tensor importance matrix, so this is not a repack of somebody else's files. Runs fully offline.

Highlights

  • 30.5B parameters: the weights this repo quantizes.
  • Context length: 262,144 tokens (256K), as published by Qwen.
  • 48 layers: Mixture-of-Experts.
  • Full imatrix ladder: every quant is calibrated with an importance matrix.
  • Significant Performance: among open models on Agentic Coding, Agentic Browser-Use, and other foundational coding tasks.
  • Agentic Coding: supporting for most platform such as Qwen Code, CLINE, featuring a specially designed function call format.
[!NOTE]
These GGUFs are self-quantized from the original weights, not a repack. The importance matrix keeps low-bit quants closer to the full-precision model.
[!IMPORTANT]
Always pass --jinja so the Qwen3 Coder 30B A3B chat template is applied. Without it the model can emit malformed turns.

Model Overview

| This repo | GGUF quants (imatrix). Quants: Q2_K, Q5_K_M, IQ3_M, Q3_K_M, Q3_K_L, IQ4_XS, Q6_K, Q4_K_S, Q4_K_M, UD-Q4_K_XL, Q5_K_S, Q8_0 |

Choosing a quant

| Quant | Size | Notes |

|---|---|---|

| Q2_K | 11.3 GB | Smallest K-quant. Minimal RAM, clear quality drop. |

| Q5_K_M | 12.1 GB | Higher quality, low loss. |

| IQ3_M | 13.5 GB | Beats Q3 at a similar size thanks to imatrix. Best low-RAM pick. |

| Q3_K_M | 14.7 GB | Low quality but usable. |

| Q3_K_L | 15.9 GB | A step above Q3_K_M. |

| IQ4_XS | 16.4 GB | Excellent quality for size. Recommended low-bit. |

| Q6_K | 17.4 GB | Near lossless, noticeably lighter than Q8_0. |

| Q4_K_S | 17.5 GB | Compact 4-bit, fast. |

| Q4_K_M | 18.6 GB | Recommended default. Best balance of size, speed and quality. |

| UD-Q4_K_XL | 18.8 GB | Dynamic. Embeddings and output kept at Q8_0 for higher quality at a Q4 footprint. |

| Q5_K_S | 19.7 GB | Higher quality, slightly more compact than Q5_K_M. |

| Q8_0 | 20.3 GB | Effectively lossless, reference quality. |

[!TIP]
Pick the largest file that fits your (V)RAM with room for context. Q4_K_M or UD-Q4_K_XL is the sweet spot for most setups; Q6_K or Q8_0 for maximum fidelity.

Get started

Run Qwen3 Coder 30B A3B locally with:

  • Atomic Chat: the easiest path. Open the app, search AtomicChat/qwen3-coder-30b-a3b-GGUF, pick a quant, hit Use this model.

Qwen's recommended sampling configuration for Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct.

Run in llama.cpp

git clone https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp
cmake llama.cpp -B llama.cpp/build -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DGGML_CUDA=ON
cmake --build llama.cpp/build --config Release -j --target llama-cli llama-server
./llama.cpp/build/bin/llama-server \
    -hf AtomicChat/qwen3-coder-30b-a3b-GGUF:Q4_K_M \
    --jinja -ngl 99 -c 8192 -fa on

How these were made

1. Download Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct (original weights).

2. Convert to f16 GGUF with llama.cpp.

3. Build an importance matrix over our calibration corpus.

4. Quantize the ladder with --imatrix.

5. UD-Q4_K_XL additionally pins the token-embedding and output tensors to Q8_0.
