GGUF layer package for running **Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_XL** across a local Mesh LLM cluster.

This package is derived from [unsloth/Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-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 |

## Recommended Use

- Local and private inference with Mesh LLM.
- Multi-machine serving when the full GGUF is too large for one host.
- OpenAI-compatible chat/completions workflows through Mesh LLM's local API.

For upstream architecture details, chat template guidance, sampling recommendations, license terms, and benchmark notes, see the source model card: [unsloth/Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-GGUF).

## Quickstart

```bash
# Run this on each machine that should contribute memory/compute.
mesh-llm serve --model "meshllm/Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_XL-layers" --split
```

```bash
# Check the mesh and discover the OpenAI-compatible model name.
curl -s http://localhost:3131/api/status
curl -s http://localhost:3131/v1/models
```

```bash
# Send an OpenAI-compatible chat request.
curl -s http://localhost:3131/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "unsloth/Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a tiny hello-world function in Rust."}],
    "max_tokens": 128
  }'
```

## Validation

Generated by the Mesh LLM HF Jobs splitter from `mesh-llm` ref `main`.
Each artifact is checksummed as it is written, uploaded to this repository, and removed from the job workspace before the next artifact is produced.

```bash
skippy-model-package write-package "/source/Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf" --out-dir "/tmp/meshllm-layer-job-meshllm_Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_XL-layers-193/package"
