Mellum2 Instruct — GGUF (BF16)

This repository contains a GGUF BF16 quantization of JetBrains/Mellum2-12B-A2.5B-Instruct, ready to run with llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio, and other GGUF-compatible runtimes.

This quantization (BF16): 16-bit, no quantization. The reference these quants are measured against; largest file.

Mellum 2 Instruct is a Mixture-of-Experts assistant model (64 experts, 8 activated per token, 131,072-token context) that answers directly, without an externalized chain of thought. For the full model description, evaluation results, and architecture details, see the original model card: JetBrains/Mellum2-12B-A2.5B-Instruct.

Available quantizations

KL divergence and top-token agreement are measured against the BF16 logits on Wikitext-2 (n_ctx=512); lower KLD / higher agreement means closer to the unquantized model. (Perplexity is omitted here — it is unreliable for instruction-tuned models on Wikitext-2, which is out of distribution.)

The server exposes an OpenAI-compatible API on http://localhost:8080/v1:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:8080/v1", api_key="llama.cpp")

chat_response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="JetBrains/Mellum2-12B-A2.5B-Instruct-GGUF-BF16",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Write a Python function to reverse a string."},
    ],
    max_tokens=81920,
    temperature=0.6,
    top_p=0.95,
    extra_body={"top_k": 20},
)
print(chat_response.choices[0].message.content)
