When you release it, will it allow us to quantize any model by using eg, unsloth as a template?
So if I have an abliterated version of a model and unsloth has published their quant (eg, IQ3) for that model, can I easily quantize my model to the same quality?

Yes, that's exactly what it does. The entire system has a YAML to allow you to target unsloth models or any other, on top of llama.cpp and so on. And it will then run and built the model for you :)

Thank you! Will I need to provide an IMAT calibration dataset? Or does it somehow autofit it.

Yes, imatrix is wanted for this for sure, but it's pretty easy. You can bring your own or easy mode you can point to unsloths gguf imatrix. I actually plan on releasing the code I'm hoping in the next few months. I honestly just need to clean it up. The issue right now is I've done so much research and it has evolved so much. It's kind of unwieldy right now. It needs some cleaning before I open source it and am comfortable maintaining it moving forward.

I'd love you to release what you have already.

I'm sure others will too.

Even if it isn't production ready, we can fix it ourselves.

I'm going to spend some time this weekend finally cleaning it up and will try getting it released :) I would love for others to use it. Honestly the biggest hold back for me is just how terribly sloppy it is right now. It went through so many prototype phases, changed so often, I mean the main path it follows is called, "evolution". because my initial theory and experiment was an evolutionary search, which doesn't even exist anymore lol.

So, your messages have pushed me to finally finish cleaning and sharing it. The current wiki will become where I both host the wiki and the code base. So, I'll be updating it there :)
