A user on Reddit is questioning the utility of GGUF model formats, noting that FP8 models run significantly faster on their hardware despite being larger. They observed a 5x speed increase with FP8 versions of models like Qwen Image and Flux 2 Klein 9B compared to their GGUF counterparts, which took over 100-200 seconds. This performance difference has led the user to wonder about the advantages of GGUF when uncompressed formats appear to be more efficient on their system. AI
