Where it came from

  • Repo / file: unsloth/Devstral-Small-2-24B-Instruct-2512-GGUF / Devstral-Small-2-24B-Instruct-2512-Q6_K.gguf.
  • Size: 19,346,476,192 B (HF tree and ls -la on 2026-08-24, 19.35 GB in the 2026-09-12 inventory).
  • sha256: b04b3e19730d7a1e19530f40b947b69c028b090cb7c58c1515cf1fc2ece5f821, checked by a one-off script.
  • Revision: not on record.
  • Date: 2026-08-24; file mtime 17:43 BST (16:43Z).
  • Why: "Q6_K is worth having as a quality reference for extraction work, where there's no wall clock" (assistant). Task #14: "Q6_K (19.4GB, extraction quality reference)".

How it was served

labeldates (UTC)binary and versionctx / -np / KV / -fa / --jinja / --reasoning-formatharness profilewhy this label exists
— (none)————never served: no script, run-log row, preset or seat references this file

The only "use" on record is header-only. seat_size.py read its GGUF header on 2026-09-14 and 2026-09-18 to estimate seat cost: dense, 19.3 G weights, 160 KB/token KV, 2.68 GB at 65,536 with q4_0 KV, 22.0 G per seat. It was also listed (not run) as a dense calibration candidate on 2026-09-11.

Decisions

  • Downloaded as an extraction-quality reference. The comparison was never run; no reason is on record.
  • Kept over the scored UD-Q4_K_XL on 2026-09-07 ("rm devstral UD-Q4_K_XL (kept Q6_K)"). This followed the "keeping the better one of each" rule, applied by bit-width.
  • Marked KEEP on 2026-09-16 as "tested, no faster build on disk". It was not itself tested; the label's runs were on the deleted UD-Q4_K_XL.
  • Deleted 2026-10-11 in the Tier B sweep under Alan's "nuke tiers a & b" (a lab note).

What went wrong

  • Credited with another file's scores. RESTORE-deleted-20261011-tiersAB.sh and a lab note describe this 18 GB dir as "Benched 2026-09-08: grounding 79.2, nullschema 62.5, screening 100.0 (b10618)". Those runs were on 2026-08-25, on the UD-Q4_K_XL, which had already been deleted on 2026-09-07. This file was never benched.

What happened to it

Downloaded 2026-08-24 → never served → kept as the "better" duplicate 2026-09-07 → deleted 2026-10-11 (RESTORE-deleted-20261011-tiersAB.sh entry exists but has no hf download line). Re-downloadable from unsloth/Devstral-Small-2-24B-Instruct-2512-GGUF; verify against sha256 b04b3e19…2fe5f821.
