Phi-4 Multimodal Instruct — GGUF Quantizations

CPU-optimised GGUF quantizations of microsoft/Phi-4-multimodal-instruct produced with llama.cpp.

Model Summary

Phi-4-multimodal-instruct is a 5.6 B parameter lightweight multimodal foundation model by Microsoft that processes text, image, and audio inputs. The backbone LLM is Phi-4-Mini (3.8 B). This repository contains GGUF quantizations for local CPU and GPU deployment.

Available Files

File Quant Size BPW Best for
phi4-mm-Q4_K_M.gguf Q4_K_M 2.37 GB 5.18 CPU inference, 8 GB RAM systems
phi4-mm-Q8_0.gguf Q8_0 3.90 GB 8.00 GPU/high-RAM systems, near-lossless
phi4-mm-f16.gguf F16 7.17 GB 16.00 Source / re-quantization base

Quantization Method

Quantized using llama-quantize from ggerganov/llama.cpp (build 8334).

llama-quantize phi4-mm-f16.gguf phi4-mm-Q4_K_M.gguf Q4_K_M 16

Source weights converted from the original safetensors using convert_hf_to_gguf.py.

Recommended Usage

Ollama (CPU — Intel NUC / low-power hardware)

# Pull and run (once uploaded to Ollama registry)
ollama run phi4-mm-nuc

# Or import from GGUF directly with a Modelfile:
ollama create phi4-mm-nuc -f Modelfile
ollama run phi4-mm-nuc

Modelfile for 8 GB RAM / no GPU:

FROM phi4-mm-Q4_K_M.gguf
PARAMETER num_ctx 8192
PARAMETER num_thread 8
PARAMETER num_gpu 0
PARAMETER flash_attn false
PARAMETER temperature 0.7
PARAMETER repeat_penalty 1.1
SYSTEM "You are a helpful, accurate, and concise AI assistant."

llama.cpp CLI (GPU, full quality)
