  Leveraging memory-mapped IO and lazy loading for large model support
• 🎯 Precision Quantization
  Support for 2/3/4/5/8-bit quantization with block-wise optimization
• 🧩 Architecture-Aware Optimization
  Specialized handling for LLaMA, Mistral, and other popular architectures
• 📊 Built-in Validation
  Comprehensive numerical validation with similarity metrics
• 📈 Production-Ready Monitoring
  Real-time resource tracking and conversion analytics

Installation

# Base installation
pip install gguf-converter

# With GPU support
pip install gguf-converter[gpu]

# With advanced quantization
pip install gguf-converter[quantization]

Quick Start

from gguf_converter import ModelConverter

# Convert model with 4-bit quantization
converter = ModelConverter("meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf")
converter.convert(
    output_path="llama-2-7b-q4.gguf",
    bits=4,
    quant_method="gptq"
)

Advanced Usage

CLI Interface

gguf-convert --model meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf \
             --output llama-2-7b-q4.gguf \
             --bits 4 \
             --quant-method gptq \
             --use-gpu

Quantization Options

# Custom block size and quantization
converter.convert(
    bits=3,
    block_size=128,
    quant_method="exl2",
    dtype="bfloat16"
)

Architecture Optimization

from gguf_converter.converter import register_architecture

@register_architecture("custom-arch")
class CustomOptimizer:
    def reorder_weights(self, weights):
        # Custom weight reordering logic
        return optimized_weights

Validation System

from gguf_converter import ModelValidator

validator = ModelValidator(
    original_model=original,
    converted_model=converted,
    config=model_config
)

report = validator.validate(
    check="full",  # basic|quant|full
    tolerance=0.01
)
