Where it came from

  • Source: Hob-forge/Kolibri-1-GGUF, Q8_0/Kolibri-1-Q8_0-00001-of-00002.gguf and -00002-of-00002.gguf (models/kolibri-1-gguf/download-q8.sh). Revision not on record.
  • Bytes (stat, 2026-10-23): part 1 = 44,679,459,296; part 2 = 38,455,934,400 (83,135,393,696 total, "83.1 GB"). sha256 not on record; the 2026-10-05 copy was verified against HF sizes.
  • Copy 1: pardl.sh with 6 range parts per file, 2026-10-05, ~10:07Z-10:46Z (download-q8.log: ALL DONE 11:46:53 local). Why: source for the local Q4_0 (Kolibri-1 Q4_0 (made here from the Hob-forge Q8_0, --allow-requantize)), after Alan's "4_0 works better".
  • Copy 2: the same script re-run 2026-10-11, part 1 landed 13:22Z, part 2 ALL DONE 13:59Z (download-q8-20261011.log). Why: the assistant proposed building a 2-bit mix and listed re-downloading the faithful 8-bit (83 GB) as step one of the recipe; it called the download "the fallback for the 2-bit route". Alan's prompt for that line of work: "it may be a way of getting the bigger parameter model in the swap as it's the biggest model and the fastest we have".

How it was served

Never served by llama-server. Used as a perplexity reference only (CPU mmap on 2026-10-05 after a Metal out-of-memory error).

Seats held: none.

Decisions

  • Pulled to be quantised, not to be benched. Copy 1 was deleted as soon as the Q4_0 existed. Copy 2 was kept on disk after the 2-bit plan was overtaken by the ready-made Sakura quants (family-sakura-kolibri-1-365e); the keep decision itself is not on record.
  • Not published.
