gemma-2-9b-it F16
This file is exactly 10,687,308,704 bytes — 9.95 GiB / 10.69 GB at an effective 9.251 bits per weight. The nominal rate for F16 is lower; mixed-precision tensors make the real figure higher, always.

Straight from the Hugging Face CDN — we host nothing and earn nothing from this. Verify what you received against the exact byte count above; a size mismatch is the usual cause of a file that will not load.
What this quantization actually contains
A quantization label names a mixture, not a uniform precision. Attention and output tensors are routinely kept at higher precision than the label implies, which is exactly why the effective bits-per-weight above exceeds the nominal rate.

Quantizing the KV cache to q8_0 is a roughly 2× lever on the dominant term at long context, and it is the single most useful setting most local users never touch. Totals here exclude the allocator reserve your driver takes, which is hardware-specific — the per-accelerator table above includes it.
