UD stands for "Unsloth-Dynamic" which upcasts important layers to higher bits. Non UD is just standard llama.cpp quants. Both still use our calibration dataset.
Please consider authoring a single, straightforward introductory-level page somewhere that explains what all the filename components mean, and who should use which variants.
The green/yellow/red indicators for different levels of hardware support are really helpful, but far from enough IMO.

Oh good idea! In general UD-Q4_K_XL (Unsloth Dynamic 4bits Extra Large) is what I generally recommend for most hardware - MXFP4_MOE is also ok

The green/yellow/red indicators are based on what you set for your hardware on huggingface.
What is your definition of "important" in this context?
Oh we wrote about it here: https://unsloth.ai/docs/basics/unsloth-dynamic-2.0-ggufs
