Inspect model quantization in the browser, without download
Curious how models on Hugging Face spend their "bit budget"? A few days ago I shared the first version of a little tool I built out of my own curiosity (and for fun). Since then, thanks in large part to great feedback from people here, a lot has changed.
New in the last few days:
- GGUF support - handy with all the new great GGUF quants
- Decode for AWQ, GPTQ, NF4, mxfp4 packed experts, packed-int32, and additive-codebook formats
- Improved comparison view for diffing two quants of the same model
- Built-in anonymous report-issue button connecting a report to specific model
- plus many small fixes
After my first post I got great feedback from several community members, and some issues were fixed within hours. I'm planning an acknowledgments section on the site, and when you report an issue you get a receipt ID you can keep to claim credit later. (reports are anonymous by design; I store no identity, so the receipt hash works like a bearer token for your find)
It's still very much a side project I hope others find useful. Explore any HF model in the browser without downloading it, the webpage reads from the safetensors header via a range request, and only tensors you click stream, and large ones are sampled, not downloaded in full. And there is a report button right in the tool when things don’t look right.
Feedback very welcome, especially models that break it :) Or ideas on what is missing.
