Kimi 2.7 GGUF?
@ubergarm , I need to know too :D eagerly waiting for an imatrix. I've converted the model to BF16 here: https://huggingface.co/Thireus/Kimi-K2.7-Code-THIREUS-BF16-SPECIAL_SPLIT
and GLM 5.2 🖐
Sorry guys, I still don't have access the the big remote rig after some network maintenance so taking some time off for the summer. Kimi-K2.7 and GLM-5.2 are looking hot though so sad I'm not releasing at the moment! 😥
I'll keep y'all posted as I get more updates myself. Cheers and be well!
we need the best quality ggufs back, what kind of rig specs do you need and how much time generally for a model like glm 5.2 or kimi k2.7 to produce and upload all the quant variations?
I've been using a big dual socket AMD EPYC rig with almost 1.5TB RAM and zero GPU/s or VRAM. Running everything on CPU is fine it just takes some time. The main resource requirement is enough RAM to fit the entire bf16 (or q8_0 depending on how the original safetensors was released) to make the importance matrix. Once you have that, it doesn't take much but a lot of disk space and network to make the quants and upload to hf. The other issue is most folks run out of huggingface storage very quickly with these big quants.
Fortunately, some other people are picking up my slack and @muzzy released a GLM-5.2 https://huggingface.co/muzzy/GLM-5.2-GGUF and check for the ik_llama.cpp tag on huggingface. I've not tried the latest GLM MTP stuff on ik.

I made a script a while back to pinch mainline llama.cpp imatrix.gguf files and convert them to the ik_llama.cpp imatrix.dat format.
I've converted it into a HF space: gghfez/ik_llama_imatrix_converter
I've done a few quants locally using Unsloth, Bartowski and AesSedai imatrix files and it's worked well so far.
Only caveat is there might be issues with models like Mimo-V2.5-Pro where mainline fuse the atten q, k, v
I intend to use and maintain it if anything breaks when new models are released.
