Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct GGUF (ShapeLearn Quantized)

This is a GGUF-quantized version of Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct produced with ByteShape's ShapeLearn , which learns the optimal datatype per tensor to maintain high quality even at very low bitlengths.

How to Pick a Model

We provide CPU and GPU optimized variants for llama.cpp:

• CPUs: Models labeled as KQ, optimized for CPU inference with predominantly KQ quantization.
• GPUs: Models labeled as IQ, optimized for GPU inference with a hybrid approach combining KQ and IQ quantization for better throughput.

Each hardware target includes a range of models covering different size and quality tradeoffs.

The chart below shows quality versus tokens per second (TPS) , with Unsloth used as the baseline for comparison. Quality is measured across five benchmarks, including function calling: BFCL-V3, LiveCodeBench V6, HumanEval, Math500, and GSM8K.

Selection rule: Choose the model with the highest quality at your target throughput or the fastest model that still meets your required quality.

Notes on quantization labels

The labels you see (for example IQ4_XS ) are only there to make Hugging Face show our models in the GGUF table. We do not use the conventional quantization profiles as defined in llama.cpp. In our case, these labels indicate the primary quantization approach and average bit length. Note that both KQ and IQ models may use a mix of quantization techniques optimized for their target hardware, which is why several models can share the same tag.

Running these models with Ollama

All GGUF files in this repo can be used directly with Ollama.

To run a model with Ollama, use:

ollama run hf.co/byteshape/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-GGUF:FILE_NAME.gguf

Replace FILE_NAME.gguf with the GGUF filename you want. For example:

ollama run hf.co/byteshape/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-GGUF:Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-IQ4_XS-4.20bpw.gguf
