Pantheon-Reasoning-26B-A4B-1.1-V2 — APEX GGUF

Mixed-precision APEX GGUF quantizations of Gryphe/Pantheon-Reasoning-26B-A4B-1.1-V2.

These quants use a Pantheon-specific importance matrix and per-tensor mixed precision rather than a uniform GGUF quantization scheme.

SORRY, Im pretty sure this quantization is somewhat shit after some personal use? If not just comment BUT I basically went off and expected a quantization recipe of StyleTuneV2 to work well here but that model only had lm_head trained and this is vastly differently trained it seems so that was pretty stupid :P - sorry, my first quant

Available variants

VariantDescription
APEX iQualityHigher-fidelity mixed-precision quant. Approximately 5.89 BPW.
APEX iQuality — Q8 LM HeadSame iQuality tensor allocation, except output.weight is stored at Q8_0 for testing LM-head precision.
APEX iCompactSmaller mixed-precision variant at approximately 4.31 BPW.

Because APEX uses per-tensor mixed precision, the standard quant type at the end of each filename is an approximate size/BPW class rather than a description of every tensor in the file.

Fidelity benchmark

Measured against BF16 reference logits on WikiText-2 using llama.cpp, 128 × 512-token chunks (32,640 scored next-token positions):

VariantMean KLDSame top tokenRMS Δp
APEX iQuality0.86173172.387%8.638%
APEX iQuality — Q8 LM Head0.85683472.540%8.636%
APEX iCompact1.38616361.759%11.638%

The Q8 LM-head experiment produced only a small aggregate improvement over the standard iQuality variant.

Notes

Gemma 4 contains tensor dimensions that are incompatible with some requested K-quant formats. In particular, ffn_down_exps.weight has a 704-wide dimension, so llama.cpp may use compatible fallback formats when necessary.

Observed examples include:

  • —requested IQ4_XS → stored as IQ4_NL
  • —requested Q5_K → stored as Q5_1
  • —requested Q6_K → stored as Q8_0

These are expected shape-dependent fallbacks.
