Initial GGUF model commit

 The key benefit of GGUF is that it is a extensible, future-proof format which stores more information about the model as metadata. It also includes significantly improved tokenization code, including for the first time full support for special tokens. This should improve performance, especially with models that use new special tokens and implement custom prompt templates.
 
-As of August 23rd 2023, only llama.cpp supports GGUF. However, third-party clients and libraries are expected to add support very soon.
+As of August 24th 2023, llama.cpp and KoboldCpp support GGUF. Other third-party clients and libraries are expected to add support very soon.
+
+Here is a list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF:
+* [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp)
+* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp), now supports GGUF as of release 1.41!
 
 Here is a list of clients and libraries, along with their expected timeline for GGUF support. Where possible a link to the relevant issue or PR is provided:
 * [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), awaiting llama-cpp-python support.
-* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp), [in active development](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp/issues/387). Test builds are working, but GPU acceleration remains to be tested.
 * [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/), in active development - hoped to be ready by August 25th-26th.
 * [LoLLMS Web UI](https://github.com/ParisNeo/lollms-webui), will work as soon as ctransformers or llama-cpp-python is updated.
 * [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers), [development will start soon](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers/issues/102).

@@ -95,7 +100,6 @@ The new methods available are:
 * GGML_TYPE_Q4_K - "type-1" 4-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 8 blocks, each block having 32 weights. Scales and mins are quantized with 6 bits. This ends up using 4.5 bpw.
 * GGML_TYPE_Q5_K - "type-1" 5-bit quantization. Same super-block structure as GGML_TYPE_Q4_K resulting in 5.5 bpw
 * GGML_TYPE_Q6_K - "type-0" 6-bit quantization. Super-blocks with 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 8 bits. This ends up using 6.5625 bpw
-* GGML_TYPE_Q8_K - "type-0" 8-bit quantization. Only used for quantizing intermediate results. The difference to the existing Q8_0 is that the block size is 256. All 2-6 bit dot products are implemented for this quantization type.
