GGUF vs safetensors — the runtime decides, not the format
The same model in three containers: 397 MB of Q4_K_M GGUF, 1.20 GB of BF16 GGUF, 1.50 GB of BF16 safetensors. The bytes are the record's honest numbers — the runtime decides.

The same model in three containers: 397 MB of Q4_K_M GGUF, 1.20 GB of BF16 GGUF, 1.50 GB of BF16 safetensors. The bytes are the record's honest numbers — the runtime decides.
This week's tooling news splits neatly into two themes: infrastructure getting quietly better (local...

Model size, quant and context in — weights, KV cache and a per-card verdict out. The GGUF VRAM calculator answers will-it-fit before the download starts.

Learn what Qwen Image 2.1 GGUF changes, how quantization affects size, which companion files it needs, and how to run it locally.

These ten questions are not invented — every one is a real query from this site's own search console,...
Discover how to master local LLM quantization using the 3-step Ternary Bonsai hack. Optimize GGUF models, slash memory usage, and run 27B models locally today.
NobodyWho and Ollama both run language models locally, without a cloud API, so they are often...
Run your existing .gguf models in KoboldCpp in under 15 minutes. I’ll show the exact settings for context, GPU layers, streaming, and when Ollama still wins.

I ran Prism's ternary-quantized Bonsai 2 27B, a 27B model squeezed under 6GB, on a GPU-less VPS to test its near-lossless claim. Here's what happened.
A GGUF file fitting in VRAM does not prove it can run your coding agent. Use this local acceptance test for tools, patches, and repeat runs.
