Highlights

  • Independent TurinTech GGUF conversion of jaredpalmer/kev-4b, a 4B decision model that answers typed questions with probabilities.
  • Default Q4_K_M is 2.54 GB: 93.0% same answers as BF16 on 2,000 test decisions, 0.0 accuracy change, no changed confident answers.
  • IQ3_M (2.17 GB) keeps 90.3% same answers at plus 0.4 accuracy; Q3_K_M (2.04 GB) falls to 88.6% and minus 2.2.
  • Measured 7.6 GiB peak GPU memory for the default file; tested on an Apple M3 Max with llama.cpp Metal.
  • Needs llama.cpp from 9 October 2026 or newer and keeps -ub 4096 -b 4096 because batch size moves probabilities.

Quickstart

Watch out

Card reviewed 2026-10-17; the same-answer percentages and accuracy deltas are TurinTech's own measurements on the card's selection panel of 2,000 test decisions, which the card says do not establish performance on unseen inputs. It is an independent conversion not affiliated with or endorsed by the Kev authors, and batch size shifts the probabilities slightly.
