Q4_K_M unless the row says otherwise; UD- sizes are unsloth dynamic quants, the only Q4 build published for those models. Max context is an estimate of the longest context whose KV cache fits beside the model: default FP16 cache, then 8-bit (q8_0).

Speed calculator

estimate

Estimate = bandwidth ÷ GB read per token (the model's listed GGUF file: Q4_K_M for most models, otherwise the quant named in the list; scaled by active/total parameters for MoE), scaled by a per-platform efficiency and fixed per-token costs calibrated to 45 measured llama.cpp benchmarks (2025–26). Fit = file size + 1.5 GB headroom ≤ total VRAM (on Macs, the part of unified memory macOS lets the GPU use by default), and room for at least 4K tokens of context with an 8-bit KV cache. For a model with no KV cache data, only the file and headroom are checked, so a fit says nothing about context. Multi-GPU: VRAM adds, speed stays one card's (a layer split runs the cards in turn); max context uses the total. Speed is for short context. Max context = what is left after the file and a 1 GB runtime reserve ÷ KV cache bytes per token, default FP16 and 8-bit (q8_0) cache. How speed works · how context works
