Which version should I download?

Set your rig so we can size a quant to your hardware and show which quants fit.

Set your rig

Quantizations

Format Level Size Verdict Est. speed Quality note Swarm Download
GGUF Q4_K_M 4.68 GB Set your rig Balanced size/quality — good default. 1S / 0L webseed OK

Run it

Generic commands (no rig set). GPU-offload values assume the model fits on your GPU — set your rig for values tuned to your hardware.

Start the server
llama-server -m Qwen_Qwen3-8B-Q4_K_M.gguf -c 8192 -ngl 999

Use llama-cli in place of llama-server for a one-shot prompt.

Save as Modelfile next to the GGUF (Modelfile)
FROM ./Qwen_Qwen3-8B-Q4_K_M.gguf
PARAMETER num_ctx 8192
PARAMETER num_gpu 999
Create
ollama create qwen-qwen3-8b -f Modelfile
Run
ollama run qwen-qwen3-8b

GGUF is not a first-class vLLM format.

vLLM GGUF support is experimental and single-file only; prefer safetensors/GPTQ/AWQ for production. If you must, pass the .gguf path to `vllm serve` with --load-format gguf on a recent vLLM.

Load Qwen_Qwen3-8B-Q4_K_M.gguf, set the context length to 8192 tokens. Set GPU offload to Max (all layers).

Not an MLX-format quant.

MLX runs MLX-format weights only (Apple Silicon). This quant is not an MLX build.
