Darwin-180B GGUF files show name-size mismatch due to large lookup table

An analysis of six GGUF quantized files for the Darwin-180B-RSI-R3 model revealed discrepancies between file names and their actual sizes. The study found that a significant portion of the model's parameters, specifically 28.9%, are dedicated to a lookup table (per_layer_token_embd.weight) that is stored independently of the quantization name, often in a higher bit format like Q8_0. This table's size can vary drastically between files, leading to larger files with names suggesting lower bit quantization. The analysis also noted that the "experts" part of the model, which is more directly related to the quantization name, constitutes a smaller fraction of the total parameters. AI

IMPACT Understanding GGUF file structures and quantization can lead to more efficient model deployment and resource management.
