## About

gguf version of https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b-instruct

<!-- provided-files -->
## 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 |
|:-----|:-----|--------:|:------|
| [PART 1](https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/falcon-40b-instruct-GGUF/resolve/main/falcon-40b-instruct.SOURCE.gguf.part1of2) [PART 2](https://huggingface.co/mradermacher/falcon-40b-instruct-GGUF/resolve/main/falcon-40b-instruct.SOURCE.gguf.part2of2) | SOURCE | 83.8 | source gguf, only provided when it was hard to come by |


Here is a handy graph by ikawrakow comparing some lower-quality quant
types (lower is better):

this work in my free time.
