# roleplaiapp/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B-Q8_0-GGUF

**Repo:** `roleplaiapp/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B-Q8_0-GGUF`  
**Original Model:** `DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B`
**Organization:** `deepseek-ai`
**Quantized File:** `deepseek-r1-distill-qwen-1.5b-q8_0.gguf`
**Quantization:** `GGUF`
**Quantization Method:** `Q8_0`  
**Use Imatrix:** `False`  
**Split Model:** `False`

## Overview
This is an GGUF Q8_0 quantized version of [DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B).

## Quantization By
I often have idle A100 GPUs while building/testing and training the RP app, so I put them to use quantizing models.
I hope the community finds these quantizations useful.
