    The significance is we have a new file format standard, bad news is it breaks compatibility with the old format so you’ll have to update to use newer quants and you can’t use your old ones

    The good news is this is the last time that’ll happen (it’s happened a few times so far) as this one is meant to be a lot more extensible and flexible, storing a ton of extra metadata for extra compatibility

    The great news is that this paves the way for better model support as we’ve seen already with support for falcon being merged: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/cf658adc832badaaa2ca119fe86070e5a830f8f6
