This tutorial details how to run the Underdog Saluki 27B model, a quantized version of Qwen3.8-27B. Saluki is noted for maintaining tool-calling capabilities at a reduced size and reportedly outperforms the full model on a 120-task benchmark. The guide involves comparing Saluki with ISTA-DASLab's GSQ-RCO quantization of the same model using llama.cpp, assessing their performance on a GPU, and evaluating their accuracy on the Berkeley Function Calling Leaderboard.
