Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-f16-GGUF

This is a GGUF-quantized version of the Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct language model.

Converted for use with llama.cpp, LM Studio, OpenWebUI, GPT4All, and more.

💡 Key Features of Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct:

Available Quantizations (from f16)

Level	Quality	Speed	Size	Recommendation
Q2_K	Minimal	⚡ Fast	11.30 GB	Only on severely memory-constrained systems.

| Q3KS | Low-Medium | ⚡ Fast | 13.30 GB | Minimal viability; avoid unless space-limited. | | Q3KM | Low-Medium | ⚡ Fast | 14.70 GB | Acceptable for basic interaction. | | Q4KS | Practical | ⚡ Fast | 17.50 GB | Good balance for mobile/embedded platforms. | | Q4KM | Practical | ⚡ Fast | 18.60 GB | Best overall choice for most users. | | Q5KS | Max Reasoning | 🐢 Medium | 21.10 GB | Slight quality gain; good for testing. | | Q5KM | Max Reasoning | 🐢 Medium | 21.70 GB | Best quality available. Recommended. | | Q6_K | Near-FP16 | 🐌 Slow | 25.10 GB | Diminishing returns. Only if RAM allows. | | Q8_0 | Lossless* | 🐌 Slow | 32.50 GB | Maximum fidelity. Ideal for archival. |

💡 Recommendations by Use Case

>

- 💻 Standard Laptop (i5/M1 Mac): Q5KM (optimal quality)

- 🧠 Reasoning, Coding, Math: Q5KM or Q6K

- 🔍 RAG, Retrieval, Precision Tasks: Q6K or Q80

- 🤖 Agent & Tool Integration: Q5KM

- 🛠️ Development & Testing: Test from Q4KM up to Q80

Usage

Load this model using:

• OpenWebUI – self-hosted AI interface with RAG & tools
• LM Studio – desktop app with GPU support
