Run OpenClaw

openclaw agent --local --agent main --message "Hello from Hugging Face"

This is a custom quant of MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.1 that has the following:

Q8_0 for the default quantization type (attention, shared experts, etc.)
Q4_K for the FFN_UP and FFN_GATE tensors
Q5_K for the FFN_DOWN tensors

The idea being that given the huge size of the FFN tensors compared to the rest of the tensors in the model, it should be possible to achieve a better quality while keeping the overall size of the entire model smaller compared to a similar naive quantization.

This model was produced using Bartowski's imatrix.

Model is additionally split with --no-tensor-first-split to enable easier editing of metadata.
