Definitely. As a hobbyist, I have yet to put together a good heuristic for better-quant-lower-params vs. smaller-quant-high-params. I've mentally been drawing the line at around q4, but now with IQ quants and improvements in the space I'm not so sure anymore.

Yeah, I've kinda quickly thrown in the towel trying to figure out what's 'best' for smaller memory systems. As things are just moving so quickly, whatever time I invest into that is likely to be for nil.
