Aura Large v1.1 GGUF — Portable Local Inference
The portable 31B Aura release for local llama.cpp inference, evaluation, and deployment.
Aura Large v1.1 GGUF is the portable local-inference edition of Aura Large v1.1. It is derived from Google’s Gemma 4 31B IT checkpoint and combines the Aura personality and ablation adapters into one model.
