GGUF layer package for running DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70B-UD-Q4_K_XL across a local Mesh LLM cluster.
This package is derived from unsloth/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70B-GGUF and keeps the original GGUF distribution split into per-layer artifacts for distributed inference.
Highlights
| Run locally | Pool multiple machines | OpenAI-compatible | Package variant |

Validation
Generated by the Mesh LLM HF Jobs splitter from mesh-llm ref main.
Each artifact is checksummed as it is written, uploaded to this repository, and removed from the job workspace before the next artifact is produced.
