Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-f32-GGUF

This is a GGUF-quantized version of the [Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct) language model.

Converted for use with llama.cpp, LM Studio, OpenWebUI, GPT4All, and more.

Why f32?

This model uses FP32 (32-bit floating point) as its base precision. This is unusual for GGUF models because:

  • FP32 doubles memory usage vs FP16.
  • Modern LLMs (including Qwen3) are trained in mixed precision and do not benefit from FP32 at inference time.
  • Only useful for debugging, research, or extreme numerical robustness.

F16 is probably a better choice, but you can use this to compare the difference in outputs (if any).

💡 Recommendations by Use Case
  • 💻 Standard Laptop (i5/M1 Mac): Q5KM (optimal quality)
  • 🧠 Reasoning, Coding, Math: Q5KM or Q6_K
  • 🔍 RAG, Retrieval, Precision Tasks: Q6K or Q80
  • 🤖 Agent & Tool Integration: Q5KM
  • 🛠️ Development & Testing: Test from Q4KM up to Q8_0

Usage

Load this model using:

  • OpenWebUI – self-hosted AI interface with RAG & tools
  • LM Studio – desktop app with GPU support
  • GPT4All – private, offline AI chatbot
  • Or directly via llama.cpp

Each quantized model includes its own README.md and shares a common MODELFILE.
