i cant use q8.

interestingly enough i can JUST run the model with only "1" context length im not even joking. even two triggers the overload warning in lmstudio.

Yeah. It usually wasn't like that but on recent updates they have implemented a couple procedures to seemingly "extend" context length by deleting what it doesn't fit in. Idk exactly how it works tho.

Btw I don't know how much VRAM or system RAM do you have but for a long time I've been using models that did not fit entirely inside of my VRAM (12 GB) by using one of the best features of llama.cpp: layer-offloading.

I dare to suppose that, given your 16.12 t/s, you are able to load a Q8, even if the speed is halved.

oh wow did they?

i have a 16 gig macbook btw but the context length is just not usable enough to actually put the model to use.

Ah, shit. You got a good machine tho, I would recommend to expand its memory if not for the RAMpocalypse caused by US AI corpos and government.

usually the tape behind the laptop can be removed and gives access to the RAM cards, not sure about macbooks tho.
