Which version should I download?
Set your rig so we can size a quant to your hardware and show which quants fit.
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.
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.

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.
