This repository contains improved Mistral-7B quantized models in GGUF format for use with `llama.cpp`. The models are fully compatible with the oficial `llama.cpp` release and can be used out=of-the-box.

The table shows a comparison between these models and the current `llama.cpp` quantization approach using Wikitext perplexities for a context length of 512 tokens.
The "Quantization Error" columns in the table are defined as `(PPL(quantized model) - PPL(fp16))/PPL(fp16)`.

In addition, a 2-bit model is provided (`mistral-7b-q2k-extra-small.gguf`). It has a perplexity of `6.7099` for a context length of 512, and `5.5744` for a context of 4096.
