IQ2_XSS quant of DeepSeek-V3-0324 I made for my 192GB DDR5 + 3090/4090. Done according to:

#### * `IQ2_XXS` 169.590 GiB (2.168 BPW)
Not recommended, but should be faster and better quality than the IQ1_S and okay with full offload on multi-GPU. It should be okay for hybrid CPU+GPU inference as well if this size is good for your rig. Probably want to choose the IQ2_KT for full GPU offload.

Special mix `IQ2_XXS` `ffn_(gate|up)_exps` and `IQ2_KS` `ffn_down_exps` routed experts. Mostly `iq4_ks/iq3_ks` for attn and shared expert. `iq4_k` `token_embd` and `iq5_k` `output` "head".
