Unsloth releases GGUF of Cohere's 30B A3B model for local inference

Efficient 30B parameter model with 3B active parameters now runs locally via llama.cpp.

Deep Dive

A GGUF for the new Cohere 30B A3B model has been shared. The poster hasn't tested it yet but thinks it's related to a llama.cpp pull request (#24260) submitted by /u/jacek2023.

Key Points
  • Cohere's 30B total parameter MoE model with only 3B active parameters per token
  • GGUF quantization by Unsloth enables local inference via llama.cpp with custom kernel support
  • Pull request #24260 adds architecture-specific optimizations for the A3B model

Why It Matters

Brings enterprise-grade MoE performance to local hardware, democratizing advanced code and reasoning AI.
