Abnormally poor spelling?

I experimented with Q4_K_M quantization from here: mradermacher/XORTRON.CriminalComputing.LARGE.2026.3-i1-GGUF

I used this startup command: llama-server.exe -m "A:\AI\Llama\Models\etc\XORTRON.CriminalComputing.LARGE.2026.3.i1-Q4_K_M.gguf" -ctk q8_0 -ctv q8_0 -ngl 99 -ub 2048 --parallel 1 --alias llama --no-mmap --ctx-size 131072 --port 5001 --flash-attn on --host 0.0.0.0

Based on the UGI benchmark result I was expecting very good (or at least interesting) results but, without exaggerating, I got the worst output quality of any model I've ever tried. Worse than a 4B or 2B running on my phone. The most obvious problem was terrible spelling. Maybe around 1 in 15 words would have an obvious spelling error. The word "amber" became "ambor", etc.

Any idea what I might've done wrong to get such bad results? It's hard to believe it's a problem with the model itself. My parameters were very "normal", the same as I'd use with any other model.

Caused by the --cache-type-k q8_0 and --cache-type-v q8_0 flags??? I'm guessing...

Can confirm that this model is honestly the very worst for spelling and coherence I've ever run. Like the user above I'm truly baffled that this model is rated so highly on the UGI leaderboard when it performs so poorly for me. That includes 8b models I used to run when I only had 11.8 GB of VRAM.

I've run a few other models based on Mistral Large 2411 (including the base model) and every single one of them utterly demolished this one in my subjective experience. Same Quant, same settings.

I wonder what the heck I'm doing wrong, but I'm not using the same flags or even the same OS as above.

It's sorta pointless now, there's a new version out that works way better anyway: mradermacher/XORTRON.CriminalComputing.Config.LARGE.XPRT2-i1-GGUF

Oh? But why is this new model not on the leaderboard then?

Dunno, can't say. But it's based on the newest version of Mistral that just came out very recently. I've used several variants of criminalcomputing and the newest one is by far the best IMHO.

Alright, thanks for the info!
