When converting mistralai/Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506 to GGUF (via llama_cpp), I get an error saying the tokenizer.json file is missing. After re-examining the HF repo, there in fact, is not a tokenizer.json file in the repo; although there is one for the other models I have converted, and the base model.
However, others have successfully converted and quantised this model; which is my endgame. What do I need to do to convert this model to GGUF format?
Can I use the tokenizer.json file from the base model?
What I have done so far:
Posting here is my last resort. Over the last week I have done the following, with no response:
- Searched the
llama.cppGitHub issues page for related issues; no solution found for this specific case. - Posted on two HuggingFace communities, one for MistalAI (the author of the model) and another on a member who has successfully converted the model to GGUF. No responses.
- Directly emailed a member who has successfully converted the model to GGUF. No response.
- Posted a question on AI Stack Exchange (and got my hand slapped for being off-topic, as it's not a theoretical question).
