Qwen 27B users debate optimal Q8 quantization for coding tasks

Users on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit are discussing the optimal quantization levels for the Qwen 27B model, specifically focusing on Q8 variants. Some users are experiencing performance issues with Q8 quants, even when using optimizations like MTP (Mixed Precision Training) with Unsloth. The conversation explores whether higher bit quantizations or alternative models might offer better performance for coding tasks. AI

IMPACT Users are seeking optimal configurations for running large language models locally, indicating a focus on practical deployment and performance tuning.

    Whats the best Qwen 27B Q8 quant?

    <!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>everyone is talking about q 4 q 5 and q 6, but. i got some coding that i feel like lower quants kept getting wrong. I can run q 8 from unsloth but feels a bit slow even with MTP ON, should I just resort to q8 35 b a3b at this point?</p> </div><!-…
