Jugurtha-2-9B (GGUF)

Quantized GGUF releases for Jugurtha-2-9B, the second-generation 8.95B-parameter sovereign foundation model for Kabyle (Taqbaylit, kab, Latin script) with native chain-of-thought reasoning.

Every GGUF carries the complete sovereign system prompt baked directly into its metadata header.

Optimized for consumer GPUs, Apple Silicon, LM Studio, and Ollama.


Provided Quantizations

File Size (approx) Format Description
Jugurtha-2-9B-Q4_K_M.gguf ~5.5 GB Q4_K_M Recommended. Balanced 4-bit quant; optimal sweet spot of speed, RAM footprint, and reasoning. Default for Ollama.
Jugurtha-2-9B-Q5_K_M.gguf ~6.6 GB Q5_K_M High precision. 5-bit quant; recommended for complex analytical tasks and high linguistic nuance.
Jugurtha-2-9B-Q6_K.gguf ~7.6 GB Q6_K Near-lossless. 6-bit quant; virtually indistinguishable from BF16 across all linguistic benchmarks.
Jugurtha-2-9B-Q8_0.gguf ~9.7 GB Q8_0 Full reference. 8-bit quant; bit-for-bit benchmark match to full BF16 precision.
Jugurtha-2-9B-Q3_K_M.gguf ~4.5 GB Q3_K_M Lightweight. 3-bit quant; designed for resource-constrained laptops, edge devices, and mobile environments.

Direct Usage with Ollama

Run directly from the Hugging Face Hub without manual file management:

# Direct fast responses (Thinking OFF)
ollama run hf.co/agbalu/Jugurtha-2-9B-GGUF --think=false

# Full Chain-of-Thought reasoning in Taqbaylit (Thinking ON)
ollama run hf.co/agbalu/Jugurtha-2-9B-GGUF --think=true

Inside an interactive Ollama session, you can toggle thinking at any time:

  • /set nothink — immediate, concise answers
  • /set think — detailed internal deliberation in Taqbaylit inside <think>...</think>

Direct Usage with LM Studio

  1. Open LM Studio.
  2. Search for agbalu/Jugurtha-2-9B-GGUF.
  3. Choose your quantization (Q4_K_M recommended) and click Download.
  4. Click Load Model. Ensure GPU Offload is set to Max for peak token throughput.
  5. The baked sovereign system prompt in Taqbaylit is recognized and applied automatically.
  6. Toggle the Thinking / Reasoning switch in the sidebar to control reasoning traces.

Direct Usage with llama.cpp

Fast GPU/CPU inference with llama-cli:

# Thinking OFF (direct conversational response)
llama-cli -m Jugurtha-2-9B-Q4_K_M.gguf -ngl 99 -t 8 \
    -p "<|im_start|>user\nSegzi-yi-d s wegzul d acu i d AƔBALU.<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant\n<think>\n\n</think>\n\n" \
    -n 512

# Thinking ON (chain-of-thought in Taqbaylit)
llama-cli -m Jugurtha-2-9B-Q4_K_M.gguf -ngl 99 -t 8 \
    -p "<|im_start|>user\nAcḥal i d 25 x 4?<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant\n<think>\n" \
    -n 512
