# Ripple-65B-Preview — Q6_K

Q6_K GGUF quantization of [Ricursive's original BF16 model](https://huggingface.co/ricursiveAI/Ripple-65B-Preview/tree/e27e171792f303d74c048184e8259ba663cfa0d5). The source has 64,782,689,360 total parameters. Weight files total 49.50 GiB; inference needs additional memory.

## Runtime

Requires the experimental Ricursive implementation from [llama.cpp PR #31692](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/31692), tested at commit `6414d5b0c9e5895473036c90c2bd305ce4ceccc4`. This port is unmerged at the time of this release; compatibility with stable llama.cpp, Ollama or LM Studio has not been established.

```sh
git clone https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp.git
cd llama.cpp
git fetch origin pull/31692/head
git checkout 6414d5b0c9e5895473036c90c2bd305ce4ceccc4
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build -j 6 --target llama-completion
hf download Chungulus/Ripple-65B-Preview-Q6_K-GGUF --local-dir ./ripple-Q6_K
./build/bin/llama-completion -m ./ripple-Q6_K/Ripple-65B-Preview-Q6_K-00001-of-00002.gguf -cnv -st --jinja -c 2048 -ngl 99 -p 'Hello!'
```

For split files, download every shard and load the first shard shown above. This Q6_K artifact was sanity tested with Metal inference. Choose offload settings for available memory.

## Provenance and checks

Each format is quantized independently from a BF16 GGUF converted from the original source revision `e27e171792f303d74c048184e8259ba663cfa0d5`. No requantization, calibration dataset or importance matrix was used. The source chat template and end-of-turn token are preserved.

The converter/runtime matched the unmodified vendor forward on a random ten-layer fixture and a five-layer crop of the original weights, including cached decoding. Every converted source tensor's shape and up to four scalar samples matched. This does not measure full-model benchmark quality.

This artifact passed short deterministic arithmetic, factual-answer and JSON-format generation checks. See `validation.json` for actual outputs, methods and limits. Upstream benchmark scores are not reported as measured scores for this quantization. `quantizatia-manifest.json` records source/tool revisions, original-shard digests and release-file SHA256 checksums.
