How can I tell which one I have? I dl'd mine a few days ago.

I have just run a sha256 checksum on both copies now, the one I downloaded 4-5 days ago, and the one that's on the unsloth huggingface page released today, and will see if they're the same or different.

(downloaded in the last few hours after the announcement of dynamic 3.0)

Qwen3.8-27B-UD-Q8_K_XL-unsloth-dynamic3.0$ openssl dgst -sha256 *.gguf

SHA2-256(Qwen3.8-27B-UD-Q8_K_XL.gguf)= af36ecb6b5db1407953345b746c14ac93f0657dda413910b4348683a2d990377

downloaded at least 4 days ago:

Qwen3.8-27B-UD-Q8_K_XL-unsloth-original$ openssl dgst -sha256 Qwen3.8-27B-UD-Q8_K_XL.gguf

SHA2-256(Qwen3.8-27B-UD-Q8_K_XL.gguf)= af36ecb6b5db1407953345b746c14ac93f0657dda413910b4348683a2d990377

So they're actually the same thing, but the announcement says released today... Please let's not confuse the end users any more than they already are.

I think they said they were keeping the old UD 2.0 quant for the larger sizes? So maybe they kept those the same and simply reuploaded them. They said the newer UD 3.0 quant performed worse on some things for the higher quants. So now it's a mix of UD 3.0 and UD 2.0.
