Trying to run MiniMax M2.7 NVFP4 via llama.cpp but not seeing any GGUFs anywhere on huggingface. So I’m guessing I would need to quantize to NVFP4.GGUF myself. Is this possible with llama.cpp, and if so, what commands need to be run to make this happen? submitted by /u/Ambitious_Fold_2874 <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1tvc1d9/how_to_us
