On the chassis side, not having 8 slots means not supporting 4 GPUs internally, which sucks for certain workstation setups. Being that I actually do have 8x GPUs, I've had to settle for a jank mining rig for a chassis.

Huggingface, Unsloth, and llama.cpp all have documentation you can follow that will exceed anything I can tell you here. LMstudio, Lemonade, or Ollama might be even easier for you to use. Take my suggestions or don't.

The path I described is all within HuggingFace.

> And How am I supposed to know that arriving to huggingface as a new user? Enlighten me.

Because I told you, knowing it was the best starting point for newbies.

> Cool.. Why don't they share em because I genuinely cant find em, I'm dumb.

You could go to Qwen's organization page on HuggingFace, it has a search function at the top, but you would be better served sticking with Unsloth.

> Well, I'm willing, but not from people who I might burn good will. Gracious. You do you.

Expecting others to do everything for you is not the same as trying things and asking questions about what you found.

You asked where to find the GGUF files of this model for direct download and I provided it. Almost all useful model files that can be downloaded are hosted on Huggingface.

> They shared a lot of links, I'm struggling to find yours. Where did yours come from ?

I went to Huggingface, went to the Unsloth org, as they tend to be the best, went to the Model page, and went to the "Files and versions" tab.

> Who is Unsloth AI? Have they modified the model ? Is this really the source of truth ?

Unsloth AI is a very popular, highly reputable organization that takes upstream model files, performs some optimization, and provides models in various formats. Apart from speed tweaks, they do not modify the models. They also provide useful benchmarks, copious documentation for local execution, and a Studio application for easy execution and post-training of models.

> Do you see how steep the barrier for entry is to do anything right ?

No. Searching for this information is not difficult. The llama.cpp documentation and guides that Unsloth provide are all you need. Search engines can take you further if you want.

> unslothai is not a name qwen has ever used. So you're sharing a link to a model that isn't from the owner, while saying it's the owner's. I'm not comfortable with that

Qwen also provides models in GGUF format on Huggingface, but they will not be as performant. Even when first-party GGUFs are available, most people will prefer quants from Unsloth or a few other popular optimizer accounts.

> I want AI to be a better tool.

Best of luck. Your attitude and unwillingness to even try and learn on your own when people have tried helping have burned my good will, and this is as far as I'm willing to carry you.
