By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on Reddit is seeking comparisons between Salvatore Sanfilippo's DwarfStar 4 (DS4) model and Unsloth's GGUF model, specifically at a 2-bit quantization level. The user has found DS4 to be highly capable for complex tasks when used with their Qwen 3.6 35b A3B model, and is curious about the performance of GGUF at a similar quantization. They are using a Nimo Strix Halo box with 128GB of RAM and a Kyuz0 stack with ROCm. AI
