parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v2 Q8_0

This file is exactly 664,466,368 bytes — 0.62 GiB / 0.66 GB at an effective 8.603 bits per weight. The nominal rate for Q8_0 is lower; mixed-precision tensors make the real figure higher, always.

A quantization label names a mixture, not a uniform precision. Attention and output tensors are routinely kept at higher precision than the label implies, which is exactly why the effective bits-per-weight above exceeds the nominal rate.
