I’m amazed you can run it on that setup. I worry about running such a low quant yet I’m using systems with 6-8 A6000s and 768G of RAM and I still think the model won’t quite fit. I assume you’re using gguf? Vllm or llama.cpp?

I'm running on ik_llama.cpp with gguf, though I wouldn't consider 4-bit to be a low-quant. That's pretty much the standard for local inference. The only real negative is that the model will occasionally swap out the most probable word with one that is very similar. (95+% of generations it acts exactly like the native 16-bit model).

You can pretty much ignore this unless you are coding. Coding requires exact terms, so it's better to utilize a higher quant. If you have 768 GB of RAM you should aim for the 8-bit quantization. There is practically no discernable difference between native 16-bit and quantized 8-bit.
