Quasar-10B-GGUF

GGUF conversion and quantizations of silx-ai/Quasar-10B.

Upstream metadata lists Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B-Base as the base model for silx-ai/Quasar-10B; this repository is a GGUF quantization/conversion of silx-ai/Quasar-10B.

These files were converted/quantized with my llama.cpp fork:

https://github.com/Akicou/llama.cpp

They can also be run with that fork. If upstream llama.cpp does not recognize the model architecture or metadata, use the fork above.

Available files

`Quasar-10B-Q4_K_S.gguf`	Q4_K_S quantization	5,153,411,328 bytes

Runtime

Example using the forked llama.cpp:

git clone https://github.com/Akicou/llama.cpp
cd llama.cpp
cmake -B build
cmake --build build --config Release -j

hf download Akicou/Quasar-10B-GGUF Quasar-10B-Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir .
./build/bin/llama-cli -m Quasar-10B-Q4_K_M.gguf -p "hi"

Adjust the binary path for your platform/build type if needed.

Important behavior note

While testing, this model did not seem to be fine-tuned for instruction following or normal conversational/chat use. It appears to behave more like a continued-pretraining checkpoint. For example, even when prompted with something simple like hi, it tended to act as if it had been asked to solve a mathematical problem using constraints.

Because of that, do not expect reliable assistant-style instruction following from these files unless you add your own prompting/evaluation setup or fine-tune the model further.
