unsure on how to quantize model (feddit.it)

I was experimenting with oobabooga trying to run this model but due to it's size it wasn't going to fit in ram, so i tried to quantize it using llama.cpp, and that worked, but due to the gguf format it was only running on the cpu. searching for ways to quantize the model while keeping it in safetensors returned nothing; so is there any way to do that?

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, i still know almost nothing of this field

I believe exllama and vllm offer quantization. But llama.cpp should be able to run on a graphics card as well, maybe the default settings are wrong for your computer. Or you have like an AMD card and need a different build of llama.cpp?

And by the way, you don't need to quantize that model yourself. Some people already uploaded that in several quantized formats to Huggingface. AWQ, GGUF, exl2 ...
