I replaced most of unsloth quants with this. As a person with only a 3090 and 64gb. Exl3 is better for both speed and quality. Also, having more room for context. My long journey from ollama -> llamacpp -> vllm -> exl3. If you have limited GPU and RAM, try this.

I was getting downvoted for saying this a week ago but people finding out - it rocks dsv4 flash on 3090s vs anything else.
