# Qwen3-14B — iMatrix GGUF

GGUF quantizations of [Qwen/Qwen3-14B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-14B), published by [Liodon AI](https://huggingface.co/liodon-ai).

## Quick Start

**llama.cpp**
```bash
llama-cli -hf liodon-ai/Qwen3-14B-imatrix-GGUF:Q4_K_M
```

**Ollama**
```bash
ollama run hf.co/liodon-ai/Qwen3-14B-imatrix-GGUF:Q4_K_M
```

**LM Studio / Jan** — search `liodon-ai/Qwen3-14B-imatrix-GGUF` and pick your quant.

## Quants

| Quant | Size | VRAM est. | Notes |
|-------|------|-----------|-------|
| `IQ2_M` | 5.32 GB | ~6 GB | 2-bit, iMatrix — smallest usable |
| `IQ3_M` | 6.88 GB | ~8 GB | 3-bit, iMatrix — great quality/size tradeoff |
| `IQ4_XS` | 8.11 GB | ~9 GB | 4-bit extra-small, iMatrix |
| `Q4_K_M` | 9.00 GB | ~10 GB | 4-bit, iMatrix-calibrated (recommended) |
| `Q5_K_M` | 10.51 GB | ~12 GB | 5-bit, iMatrix-calibrated |
| `Q6_K` | 12.12 GB | ~14 GB | 6-bit, iMatrix-calibrated, near-lossless |
| `Q8_0` | 15.70 GB | ~18 GB | 8-bit, essentially lossless |


## What is iMatrix?

Standard quantization treats all weights equally. iMatrix runs 128 calibration chunks through
the full-precision model to find which weights matter most, then allocates more precision where
it counts. At Q2/Q3/Q4 this means noticeably better coherence and instruction-following —
**same file size, better output**.

Calibration: 2M tokens of [WikiText-103](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikitext).
