Highlights

  • Independent TurinTech GGUF conversion of jaredpalmer/kev-9b, a 9B decision model; default IQ3_M is 4.78 GB.
  • IQ3_M matches BF16 on 92.2% of 2,000 test decisions (minus 1.2 points) with no confident-answer changes.
  • IQ4_XS (4.87 GB, minus 1.1), Q3_K_L (4.45 GB, minus 0.7) and Q3_K_S (4.07 GB, minus 2.2) cover tighter memory budgets.
  • Measured 9.1 GiB peak GPU memory for the default file; tested on Apple M3 Max Metal and an NVIDIA RTX 5090.
  • Public ggml-org Q4_K_M (6.36 GB) is closer at 93.2% same answers but is 1.5 to 2.3 GB larger than the Artemis files.

Watch out

Card reviewed 2026-10-17; the 92.2% same-answer figure and accuracy deltas are TurinTech's own measurements on a 2,000-decision selection panel and, per the card, do not establish performance on unseen inputs. The conversion is independent and unendorsed by the Kev authors, and measured probabilities shift slightly with batch size.
