llava-llama-3-v1_1-imat is an open-weight language model from city96. llava-llama-3-8b-v1_1-imat-gguf (GGUF) weighs 4.9 GB; the smallest configuration that runs it is RTX 3060 12 GB.

  • llava-llama-3-v1_1-imat is an imatrix GGUF conversion of the LLaVA Llama 3 8B model, created by city96.
  • It is primarily intended to function as a text encoder for Hunyuan Video, though it can also be used for vision tasks when paired with a specific mmproj file.
  • The model utilizes a vocabulary size of 128,320 and was quantized using a calibration dataset that reportedly outperformed standard wikitext and no-imatrix methods.

From the model card

What city96 says about llava-llama-3-v1_1-imat

Read the model card

This is an imatrix gguf conversion of xtuner/llava-llama-3-8b-v1_1-transformers.

Mainly intended to be used as the text encoder for Hunyuan Video, but possible to use for vision tasks with the mmproj file from the xtuner gguf repository.

The imatrix dataset used was calibration_datav3.txt by Bartowski, which was used for all quants under Q6_K. Tested against wikitext / no imatrix and it outperformed both.

Note that the vocab_size is different between the transformers (128 320) and the hf (128 256) repositories. This used the former as it was what was used in the official Hunyuan Video code.

IQ quants will be slow in ComfyUI due to using numpy fallback.
