## How to download GGUF files ?
**Note for manual downloaders:** You almost never want to clone the entire repo! Multiple different quantisation formats are provided, and most users only want to pick and download a single file.
The following clients/libraries will automatically download models for you, providing a list of available models to choose from:
* LM Studio
* LoLLMS Web UI
* Faraday.dev
- **Option A** - Downloading in `text-generation-webui`:
- **Step 1**: Under Download Model, you can enter the model repo: PrunaAI/Llama-3-8B-Instruct-Coder-GGUF-smashed and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: phi-2.IQ3_M.gguf.
- **Step 2**: Then click Download.
- **Option B** - Downloading on the command line (including multiple files at once):
- **Step 1**: We recommend using the `huggingface-hub` Python library:
```shell
pip3 install huggingface-hub
```
- **Step 2**: Then you can download any individual model file to the current directory, at high speed, with a command like this:
```shell
huggingface-cli download PrunaAI/Llama-3-8B-Instruct-Coder-GGUF-smashed Llama-3-8B-Instruct-Coder.IQ3_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```
More advanced huggingface-cli download usage (click to read)
Alternatively, you can also download multiple files at once with a pattern:
```shell
huggingface-cli download PrunaAI/Llama-3-8B-Instruct-Coder-GGUF-smashed --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False --include='*Q4_K*gguf'
```
For more documentation on downloading with `huggingface-cli`, please see: [HF -> Hub Python Library -> Download files -> Download from the CLI](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/guides/download#download-from-the-cli).
To accelerate downloads on fast connections (1Gbit/s or higher), install `hf_transfer`:
```shell
pip3 install hf_transfer
```
And set environment variable `HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER` to `1`:
```shell
HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download PrunaAI/Llama-3-8B-Instruct-Coder-GGUF-smashed Llama-3-8B-Instruct-Coder.IQ3_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```
Windows Command Line users: You can set the environment variable by running `set HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1` before the download command.
## How to run model in GGUF format?
- **Option A** - Introductory example with `llama.cpp` command
Make sure you are using `llama.cpp` from commit [d0cee0d](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/d0cee0d36d5be95a0d9088b674dbb27354107221) or later.
```shell
./main -ngl 35 -m Llama-3-8B-Instruct-Coder.IQ3_M.gguf --color -c 32768 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "[INST] {prompt\} [/INST]"
```
Change `-ngl 32` to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.
Change `-c 32768` to the desired sequence length. For extended sequence models - eg 8K, 16K, 32K - the necessary RoPE scaling parameters are read from the GGUF file and set by llama.cpp automatically. Note that longer sequence lengths require much more resources, so you may need to reduce this value.
If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the `-p ` argument with `-i -ins`
For other parameters and how to use them, please refer to [the llama.cpp documentation](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/examples/main/README.md)
- **Option B** - Running in `text-generation-webui`
Further instructions can be found in the text-generation-webui documentation, here: [text-generation-webui/docs/04 ‐ Model Tab.md](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/main/docs/04%20-%20Model%20Tab.md#llamacpp).
- **Option C** - Running from Python code
You can use GGUF models from Python using the [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python) or [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers) libraries. Note that at the time of writing (Nov 27th 2023), ctransformers has not been updated for some time and is not compatible with some recent models. Therefore I recommend you use llama-cpp-python.
### How to load this model in Python code, using llama-cpp-python
For full documentation, please see: [llama-cpp-python docs](https://abetlen.github.io/llama-cpp-python/).
#### First install the package
Run one of the following commands, according to your system:
```shell
# Base ctransformers with no GPU acceleration
pip install llama-cpp-python
# With NVidia CUDA acceleration
CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_CUBLAS=on" pip install llama-cpp-python
# Or with OpenBLAS acceleration
CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_BLAS=ON -DLLAMA_BLAS_VENDOR=OpenBLAS" pip install llama-cpp-python
# Or with CLBLast acceleration
CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_CLBLAST=on" pip install llama-cpp-python
# Or with AMD ROCm GPU acceleration (Linux only)
CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_HIPBLAS=on" pip install llama-cpp-python
# Or with Metal GPU acceleration for macOS systems only
CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_METAL=on" pip install llama-cpp-python
# In windows, to set the variables CMAKE_ARGS in PowerShell, follow this format; eg for NVidia CUDA:
$env:CMAKE_ARGS = "-DLLAMA_OPENBLAS=on"
pip install llama-cpp-python
```
#### Simple llama-cpp-python example code
```python
from llama_cpp import Llama
# Set gpu_layers to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Set to 0 if no GPU acceleration is available on your system.
llm = Llama(
model_path="./Llama-3-8B-Instruct-Coder.IQ3_M.gguf", # Download the model file first
n_ctx=32768, # The max sequence length to use - note that longer sequence lengths require much more resources
n_threads=8, # The number of CPU threads to use, tailor to your system and the resulting performance
n_gpu_layers=35 # The number of layers to offload to GPU, if you have GPU acceleration available
)
# Simple inference example
output = llm(
"[INST] {prompt} [/INST]", # Prompt
max_tokens=512, # Generate up to 512 tokens
stop=[""], # Example stop token - not necessarily correct for this specific model! Please check before using.
echo=True # Whether to echo the prompt
)
# Chat Completion API
llm = Llama(model_path="./Llama-3-8B-Instruct-Coder.IQ3_M.gguf", chat_format="llama-2") # Set chat_format according to the model you are using
llm.create_chat_completion(
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a story writing assistant."},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Write a story about llamas."
}
]
)
```
