Feature Request: Publish Calibration Dataset for Dynamic-GGUF-Quants-2.0

Summary

I would like to request the release of the calibration dataset used for Dynamic-GGUF-Quants-2.0, so that users can reproduce Unsloth's quantization quality with their own pipelines.

Background

Unsloth's Dynamic 2.0 quantization achieves excellent results with "new imatrix data" (300K-1.5M+ tokens) that is hand-curated and cleaned. However, the imatrix_unsloth.gguf_file included in GGUF repositories is a pre-computed importance matrix, not the raw calibration text data.

Problem

  • The imatrix_unsloth.gguf_file cannot be reverse-engineered to recover the original calibration text.
  • Users who want to quantize models with custom settings (different bit-widths, mixed-precision schemes, or non-standard tensor types) cannot leverage Unsloth's high-quality calibration data.
  • The quantization recipes are tied to Unsloth's internal pipeline, limiting reproducibility for advanced users.

Request

Please consider releasing one of the following:

  1. Raw calibration text dataset (or a script to generate it)

    • Even a partial/subset release would be valuable
    • Could be hosted on Hugging Face as a separate dataset repository
  2. Documentation on dataset composition

    • What domains/topics are covered (code, math, dialogue, etc.)
    • Approximate token counts and filtering criteria
  3. Standard-format imatrix export

    • If the current imatrix_unsloth.gguf_file is already llama.cpp-compatible, please document this explicitly
    • If not, consider providing a converter or native export option

Use Cases

  • Researchers reproducing Unsloth's quantization results in academic papers
  • Users creating custom GGUF variants (e.g., specialized medical/legal models)
  • Community members improving quantization pipelines for niche hardware

Thank you for considering this request!
