Kimi-K2.6-UD-Q4_K_XL

Distributed GGUF inference package for Mesh LLM

GGUF layer package for running Kimi-K2.6-UD-Q4_K_XL across a local Mesh LLM cluster.

This package is derived from unsloth/Kimi-K2.6-GGUF and keeps the original GGUF distribution split into per-layer artifacts for distributed inference.

Highlights

Run locally	Pool multiple machines	OpenAI-compatible	Package variant
Private inference on your hardware	Split layers across peers	Serve `/v1/chat/completions` locally	`UD-Q4_K_XL` layer package
