Conversion script?
Hello, I’ve been trying to do something similar but keep getting errors, would it be possible to share the conversion script used? This would be a great help since it seems you were able to perform the quantization successfully
Of course! We are just a student team working on quantization within Modal's free tier while burning through our own laptops, so please bear with us if we cannot release it until our other work is done!
Id Love to help were workign on this now and came across your upload we have a patch in progress. you have telegram or X you can reach me @blackfrost_ai. thanks
