 weighted/imatrix quants of https://huggingface.co/nightmedia/Qwen3-4B-Element18
+<!-- provided-files -->
+***For a convenient overview and download list, visit our [model page for this model](https://hf.tst.eu/model#Qwen3-4B-Element18-i1-GGUF).***
+static quants are available at https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/Qwen3-4B-Element18-GGUF
+## Usage
+If you are unsure how to use GGUF files, refer to one of [TheBloke's
+READMEs](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/KafkaLM-70B-German-V0.1-GGUF) for
+more details, including on how to concatenate multi-part files.
+## Provided Quants
+(sorted by size, not necessarily quality. IQ-quants are often preferable over similar sized non-IQ quants)
+| Link | Type | Size/GB | Notes |
+|:-----|:-----|--------:|:------|
+| [GGUF](https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/Qwen3-4B-Element18-i1-GGUF/resolve/main/Qwen3-4B-Element18.imatrix.gguf) | imatrix | 0.1 | imatrix file (for creating your own quants) |
+Here is a handy graph by ikawrakow comparing some lower-quality quant
+types (lower is better):

+And here are Artefact2's thoughts on the matter:

+## FAQ / Model Request
+See https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/model_requests for some answers to
+questions you might have and/or if you want some other model quantized.
+## Thanks
+I thank my company, [nethype GmbH](https://www.nethype.de/), for letting
+me use its servers and providing upgrades to my workstation to enable
+this work in my free time. Additional thanks to [@nicoboss](https://huggingface.co/nicoboss) for giving me access to his private supercomputer, enabling me to provide many more imatrix quants, at much higher quality, than I would otherwise be able to.
