SoTA GGUF quants of Muse Glimmer 30B
Released custom Muse Glimmer 30B GGUF quants that he says never lose to other quants in any VRAM class; his Q8 is smaller than UD-Q8_K_XL and 21% closer to BF16.

Full methodology is on the card - eval setup, CIs, held-out slices, the lot. Happy to answer questions in the comments.
