# flan-ul2: candle quants
Quants of `google/flan-ul2` with [candle](https://github.com/huggingface/candle/tree/main/candle-examples/examples/quantized-t5)
```sh
cargo run --example quantized-t5 --release -- \
--model-id pszemraj/candle-flanUL2-quantized \
--weight-file flan-ul2-q3k.gguf \
--prompt "Answer the following question by reasoning step by step. The cafeteria had 23 apples. If they used 20 for lunch, and bought 6 more, how many apples do they have?" \
--temperature 0
```
On my laptop (CPU, running in WSL) I get: `45 tokens generated (0.48 token/s)`
## weights
Below are the weights/file names in this repo:
| Weight File Name | Quant Format | Size (GB) |
|-------------------------|--------------|-----------|
| flan-ul2-q2k.gguf | q2k | 6.39 |
| flan-ul2-q3k.gguf | q3k | 8.36 |
| flan-ul2-q4k.gguf | q4k | 10.9 |
| flan-ul2-q6k.gguf | q6k | 16 |
From initial testing:
- it appears that q2k is too low precision and produces poor/incoherent output. The `q3k` and higher are coherent.
- Interestingly, there is no noticeable increase in computation time (_again, on CPU_) when using higher precision quants. I get the same tok/sec for q3k and q6k +/- 0.02
## setup
> [!IMPORTANT]
> this assumes you already have [rust installed](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
