Greetings.

I’m working on a local AI control system with Ollama and require a quantized version of LLaMA 3 8B in Q4_K_M format, ideally optimized for speed and sub-4GB RAM. Could you publish or point me to a model with that quantization (or similar q4_xx variant) for direct pull via Ollama?

I forgot to mention one more thign that if matters, I am using v0.1.38 for some specific purposes.

If not available yet, any guidance on converting the base model manually for Ollama would be appreciated.

Signing Off!

Going to go ahead and close this since the model has been out for a while.
