2-bit GGUFs that fit a 12 GB GPU (measured)
Qwen3.8-27B 2-bit GGUFs, 8.31-8.55 GB. WikiText-2 PPL measured on one 12 GB laptop GPU, same 20 windows.
Text Generation • 10B • Updated • 1.17kNote Ours, Pingala-8 v2: 8.31 GB, WikiText-2 PPL 6.89 (20 windows, ctx 4096). Runs fully on one 12 GB RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU at 37.7 tok/s (-ngl 99); calculator: 10.24 GB at ctx 4096. Needs our patched CUDA runtime; not Ollama or LM Studio.

Text Generation • 27B • Updated • 419Note DASH-Q IQ2_XS: 8.55 GB, PPL 6.54, the lowest we measured; better than ours on 20/20 windows. Fits 12 GB at 4k-8k context by our calculator. Stock llama.cpp; on our RTX 50 laptop its IQ1_S/IQ2_S/IQ3_S tensors ran on the CPU (CUDA NaN).
unsloth/Qwen3.8-27B-GGUF
27B • Updated • 6.07M • 5.62kNote unsloth UD-IQ2_S: 8.37 GB, PPL 7.34; ours is lower but not significantly (ours better on 9/20 windows). Fits 12 GB at 4k-8k context by our calculator. Their UD-Q4_K_M (16.46 GB) does not fit 12 GB.
2-bit GGUF leaderboard
🚀Measured, paired 2-bit GGUF perplexity, 27B and 2B
Note Our leaderboard: every 2-bit file above, ranked by WikiText-2 perplexity with size, windows won and runtime, DASH-Q first. Also the Qwen3.5-2B files.
