This quantization script is obtained by making a sort of "cross multiplication" with the python code for q5_0, and the C code for q5_0 and q6_0 in order to get through trial and error the code for the q6_0 conversion script, this with the help of a 7xB parameters AI model.
It was an interesting experiment!
Tested on Llama 3.2 instruct 1B and Qwen 2.5 instruct 1.5B.
Bitrate of this q6_0 conversion is 6.50BPW straight.
PPL equivalent (+/-0.5%) to a regular q6_0 quant from a fp16 gguf.
Inference is working as intended in my Croco.cpp.
