About

weighted/imatrix quants of https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct

For a convenient overview and download list, visit our model page for this model.

static quants are available at https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct-GGUF

This is a vision model - mmproj files (if any) will be in the static repository.

Usage

If you are unsure how to use GGUF files, refer to one of TheBloke's READMEs for more details, including on how to concatenate multi-part files.

Provided Quants

(sorted by size, not necessarily quality. IQ-quants are often preferable over similar sized non-IQ quants)

Link	Type	Size/GB	Notes
GGUF	imatrix	0.1	imatrix file (for creating your own quants)
GGUF	i1-IQ1_S	2.2	for the desperate
GGUF	i1-IQ1_M	2.4	mostly desperate
GGUF	i1-IQ2_XXS	2.6
GGUF	i1-IQ2_XS	2.8
GGUF	i1-IQ2_S	3.0
GGUF	i1-IQ2_M	3.2
GGUF	i1-Q2_K_S	3.2	very low quality
GGUF	i1-Q2_K	3.4	IQ3_XXS probably better
GGUF	i1-IQ3_XXS	3.5	lower quality
GGUF	i1-IQ3_XS	3.7
GGUF	i1-Q3_K_S	3.9	IQ3_XS probably better
GGUF	i1-IQ3_S	3.9	beats Q3_K*
GGUF	i1-IQ3_M	4.0
GGUF	i1-Q3_K_M	4.2	IQ3_S probably better
GGUF	i1-Q3_K_L	4.5	IQ3_M probably better
GGUF	i1-IQ4_XS	4.7
GGUF	i1-Q4_0	4.9	fast, low quality
GGUF	i1-IQ4_NL	4.9	prefer IQ4_XS
GGUF	i1-Q4_K_S	4.9	optimal size/speed/quality
GGUF	i1-Q4_K_M	5.1	fast, recommended
GGUF	i1-Q4_1	5.3
GGUF	i1-Q5_K_S	5.8
GGUF	i1-Q5_K_M	6.0
GGUF	i1-Q6_K	6.8	practically like static Q6_K

Here is a handy graph by ikawrakow comparing some lower-quality quant types (lower is better):
