# Steelskull/L3-Arcania-4x8b-Q4_K_M-GGUF
This model was converted to GGUF format from [`Steelskull/L3-Arcania-4x8b`](https://huggingface.co/Steelskull/L3-Arcania-4x8b) using llama.cpp via the ggml.ai's [GGUF-my-repo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/ggml-org/gguf-my-repo) space.
Refer to the [original model card](https://huggingface.co/Steelskull/L3-Arcania-4x8b) for more details on the model.
## Use with llama.cpp

Install llama.cpp through brew.

```bash
brew install ggerganov/ggerganov/llama.cpp
```
Invoke the llama.cpp server or the CLI.

CLI:

```bash
llama-cli --hf-repo Steelskull/L3-Arcania-4x8b-Q4_K_M-GGUF --model l3-arcania-4x8b.Q4_K_M.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"
```

Server:

```bash
llama-server --hf-repo Steelskull/L3-Arcania-4x8b-Q4_K_M-GGUF --model l3-arcania-4x8b.Q4_K_M.gguf -c 2048
