GPT5.1-high-reasoning-codex-0.4B-GGUF

GPT5.1-high-reasoning-codex-0.4B-GGUF is a compact GGUF language model release from WithIn Us AI, intended for local inference and lightweight coding or reasoning-oriented experiments.

This repository provides quantized GGUF builds for efficient use with llama.cpp and compatible runtimes.

Model Summary

This model is designed for:

  • lightweight local inference
  • coding and prompt-based development assistance
  • compact reasoning-style experiments
  • offline chat and text generation workflows
  • small-footprint deployments

Because this is a 0.4B parameter class model, it is best suited for fast iteration, simple coding tasks, prompt experiments, structured text generation, and lightweight assistant workflows rather than heavy long-context reasoning or complex production-grade coding autonomy.

Repository Contents

This repository currently includes the following files:

  • GPT5.1-high-reasoning-codex-0.4B.Q4_K_M.gguf
  • GPT5.1-high-reasoning-codex-0.4B.Q5_K_M.gguf
  • GPT5.1-high-reasoning-codex-0.4B.f16.gguf

Quantization Variants

Q4_K_M

A smaller and more memory-efficient quantization for lower RAM usage and faster local inference.

Q5_K_M

A slightly larger quantization that may provide somewhat better output quality while remaining efficient.

F16

A higher-precision GGUF variant intended for users who want the least quantization loss and have more memory available.

Architecture

The repository metadata currently identifies the architecture as:

  • gpt2

Intended Use

Recommended use cases include:

  • local coding assistant experiments
  • toy and lightweight software-help workflows
  • code completion and code drafting
  • debugging ideas and implementation suggestions
  • instruction-following tests
  • prompt engineering experiments
  • low-resource local deployments

Out-of-Scope Use

This model should not be relied on for:

  • legal advice
  • medical advice
  • financial advice
  • safety-critical automation
  • production code generation without review
  • security-sensitive decisions without human verification

All generated code should be reviewed, tested, and validated before use.

Performance Expectations

As a compact 0.4B model, this release trades raw capability for speed, portability, and lower hardware requirements. It may perform well for:

  • short code snippets
  • compact prompts
  • structured assistant replies
  • lightweight reasoning-style tasks

It may struggle with:

  • long and complex codebases
  • deep multi-step reasoning
  • strict factual reliability
  • advanced tool orchestration
  • heavy instruction retention over long prompts

Prompting Tips

For best results, use prompts that are:

  • specific
  • short to medium length
  • explicit about the desired language or format
  • clear about constraints
  • direct about whether you want code, explanation, or both

Example prompts

Code generation

Write a Python function that reads a JSON file, validates required fields, and returns a cleaned list of records.

Refactoring

Refactor this JavaScript function to be more readable and add basic error handling.

Debugging

Explain why this Python code raises a KeyError and show a corrected version.

Hardware and Runtime Notes

This model is packaged in GGUF format, which is suitable for llama.cpp-style local inference stacks and related frontends / runtimes that support GGUF models.

Typical choices:

  • use Q4_K_M for smaller memory usage
  • use Q5_K_M for a quality / size balance
  • use F16 when memory allows and you want higher precision

Limitations

Like other small language models, this model may:

  • hallucinate APIs, functions, or package behavior
  • generate incorrect code
  • produce insecure code patterns
  • make reasoning mistakes
  • lose instruction fidelity on longer prompts
  • require prompt retries for acceptable output quality

Human oversight is strongly recommended.
