When using kvarn quants at low context depth tg speed is similar to llama.cpp on and equivalent qx_x quant. However, as context depth grows kvarn tanks your tg speed. This fork optimises kvarn to have similar or better performance ay high context depths than llama.cpp at an equivalent qx_x quant an…
