LLaMA user seeks advice on Gemma 4 31B quantizations and hardware optimization

A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is seeking advice on optimizing their setup for running large language models, specifically the Gemma 4 31B model. They are trying to determine if newer 'QAT' (Quantized Aware Training) versions of the model are superior to their current unsloth-optimized version. The user is also inquiring about the best quantization levels (e.g., Q2_K, Q4_0) and how to best utilize their hardware, including a 3060 12GB GPU and 32GB of RAM, to achieve longer context lengths and potentially use MTP (Multi-Turn Prompting).

    Are these quants of QAT better than non-QAT? What do I use?
