In order to download them all to a local folder, run: ``` huggingface-cli download legraphista/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B-IMat-GGUF --include "Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B.Q8_0/*" --local-dir ./ # see FAQ for merging GGUF's ``` --- ## Inference ### Simple chat template ``` <|begin_of_text|><|im_start|>user {user_prompt}<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant {assistant_response}<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user {next_user_prompt}<|im_end|> ``` ### Chat template with system prompt ``` <|begin_of_text|><|im_start|>system {system_prompt}<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user {user_prompt}<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant {assistant_response}<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user {next_user_prompt}<|im_end|> ``` ### Llama.cpp ``` llama.cpp/main -m Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B.Q8_0.gguf --color -i -p "prompt here (according to the chat template)" ``` --- ## FAQ ### Why is the IMatrix not applied everywhere? According to [this investigation](https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1993iro/ggufs_quants_can_punch_above_their_weights_now/), it appears that lower quantizations are the only ones that benefit from the imatrix input (as per hellaswag results). ### How do I merge a split GGUF? 1. Make sure you have `gguf-split` available - To get hold of `gguf-split`, navigate to https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/releases - Download the appropriate zip for your system from the latest release - Unzip the archive and you should be able to find `gguf-split` 2. Locate your GGUF chunks folder (ex: `Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B.Q8_0`) 3. Run `gguf-split --merge Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B.Q8_0/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B.Q8_0-00001-of-XXXXX.gguf Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B.Q8_0.gguf` - Make sure to point `gguf-split` to the first chunk of the split. --- Got a suggestion?
