piSmolLM3-3B-HXQ (GGUF)
Native GGUF HXQ_AFFINE_6 quantization of SmolLM3-3B for llama.cpp.
6.28 bits per weight, calibration-free affine quantization. Runs at Q8_0 parity speed (28.3 vs 28.4 tok/s) at 26% smaller size.
Quick Start
# With llama.cpp (HXQ fork)
./llama-cli -m smollm3-3b-hxq-affine6.gguf -p "Explain quicksort:" -n 128

- Compatibility: Requires llama.cpp HXQ fork (
hxq-affine-typebranch) - Architecture: SmolLM3 (transformer, 3B parameters)
About HXQ
HXQ is a calibration-free vector quantization method for neural network weights. It uses per-group-128 affine coding to achieve 6.28 bits per weight with minimal perplexity degradation. See HXQ whitepaper for details.
