StudioAtomic Chat releases GGUF quants of Nous Research Arete-27B
Original title: Nous Research Arete-27B GGUF quants
The Atomic Chat team released GGUF quantizations of Nous Research's Arete-27B (a Qwen3.8-27B fine-tune, Apache-2.0), spanning six levels from Q8_0 (28.6 GB) down to AD-IQ3_S (13.6 GB), with a VRAM sizing table and llama-server commands. All KL divergence and top-1 numbers are measured, running 16-23% lower than bartowski's builds at comparable 13.6-16.8 GB sizes; the files lack the multi token prediction head, image input requires a separate mmproj projector, and the calibration corpus and reproduction scripts are public.
The authors measured KL divergence for every quant, matched files to VRAM sizes, and published reproduction commands, so readers can pick and deploy locally by their own GPU.
